Haven't seen this posted, but just noticed an Amex offer for JetBlue - spend $200 get $40 back (exp 11/20/18). Its on several of my cards - PRG, Blue Cash, Everyday, Hilton.
On another note - is anyone changing their evaluation of their Amex cards based on the closure of the multi-tab loophole for Amex offers? Some of my Amex cards have only been kept because of the ability to use Amex offers multiple times. Now that is gone there seems little point in keeping some of the cards so I am probably going to close a couple to free up space for future Amex cards.
Also, depending on your travel plans and what you're comfortable with or interested in learning, we can save you more than $200 on your Disney trip We're friendly!
Just logged into SPG account and saw that I am Platinum Elite! I was Gold for both Marriott and SPG and did not expect this. Anyone else Platinum Elite and can tell me what to expect? We are staying at a few Westin hotels in a week.
When will this level expire? I know I won't be able to earn it again.
For those who called in and received retention offers on the SW cards...about how long did it take Chase to post the credit to your card....
I seem to recall 2-3 days.
I couldn’t login to my SPG/Marriott account all day yesterday. It wasn’t showing any of my points said maintenance etc and now it’s working today but there is no availability for Bora Bora. I even am searching for flexible dates.
I booked a stay at the Prince de Galles in Paris. I think this is temporarily discounted too but I could be wrong. I am like 50/50 on canceling though. We tentatively have Rome in April and I got dates for this in May so it may not work.
Was anyone able to book any of these category 7s that are going up in price next year?
Love all those choices! have fun! I have family visiting the white mountains right now but I was too busy to join them.... I wish I were there....Trying to make lemonade, I checked with my daughter who is my main travel partner. Gave her a choice of 1) Acadia NP in Maine, 2) NY City museums/Broadway, 3) Orlando - either Universal or Disney. She picked Acadia NP. I had looked for hotel openings before giving her choices. I never go anywhere spontaneous so planning in less than a week is terrifying for uber planner like me!
That will make one more NP off our bucket lists and 2 more states we haven't been to - Maine and NH (making a side trip to Mt Washington in the White Mountains). Off to complete all the reservations.
By no means am I an expert on the bank bonuses but I also wanted to see what I might be able to fund with an Amex. I pulled up Doc's bank bonus page and did a search for "american Express" and wrote down about 10 banks that did not seem to exclude Amex. This of course is assuming the the DPs and information is current.
Eastern Bank $2k
Fidelity (PA) $500
First Midwest $2500
Great Western $1k
Memory $500
My Northerst Savings $1k
Rockland Trust $2500
Star One $1k
TruMark Financial $1k
Union Bank & Trust $2k

So if you had a choice to collect any hotel points which hotel group would you choose? DH has some travel coming up so thinking Marriott but figured this group would be great to get input from.
Our upcoming travel goals are disney land, gibraltar(spelling) universal studios Orlando.
We love Hyatt, the problem is that they have a smaller footprint. But the UR to Hyatt transfer has gotten us some really sweet deals.
I called In To ask about Bora Bora and there was availability for my dates. She said I would be booking a king overwater villa! But they can't book any SPG properties with points for another 24-48 hours. Guess I will be repeatedly calling back!
Congrats! Don't feel bad about the link...Nobody should ever feel bad for taking advantage of a higher public offer. We all love supporting each other, but YOU come first in this gameForgot to mention, applied for and was approved for the Hilton Biz...Couldn't use a link from DISChurners, though, since it required a dummy booking to pull the offer
I had asked in another thread about getting the best sign up bonus on a non-premier Disney visa and was told there was a way to get $200. Can anyone help with this.
We are headed down 9/13 for a week and a halfMy travel plans are me leaving 9/19 for a week with two Disney adult kids with free dining. But, I’m always open to learning for future trips!
I seem to recall 2-3 days.
If your charge has posted, you can see if it coded as 1x or 3x. You will have to go into the UR site and see how many points are pending for your next statement.My one and only Plastiq charge on the CIP posted on 8/17 - sounds like I'm only going to get 1x URs out of it. Bummer! Oh well, there was no way I would meet the Amex MSR otherwise, so the fee is just the cost of doing business, I guess.
I probably wouldn't get concerned until Friday - I always "give it a week" lol!Thanks for the DP..called on Thursday...so I’ll wait not so patiently for it to post
Thank you! I wasn't sure if paying it early would almost trick the system into not thinking I have met my MSR. I did return $50 worth of clothes so I lost some MSR there. Not to worry, more charges are coming!I pay my cards every day, essentially using them as debit cards. As soon as a purchase posts (not pending) I pay it. I do this even if working on MSR.
Thanks! Hoping both MSRs will be 100% complete before the first statements close. With my large charge coming this week, I was contemplating paying some of the cards down, especially on the CSP since the CL is lower. It will only be about 20% of its CL so I guess it will be fine. I just want mitigate any possible red flags with Chase.I haven’t had any issues with my URs posting and I’ve paid the cards online weekly priorto the statement closing for years and have continued to do so with my new accounts....
