I love credit cards so much!

For Disney World or Universal?

Sorry, DW.

It’s not okay that I had to play two softball games in the snow tonight because my state can’t decide which season it is....

Sorry, DW.

You enter the ticket numbers on the mydisney experience website or app and assign them to everyone in your party. If you are staying onsite and will have magic bands there is no need to pick up actual tickets. If you won’t have magic bands you can pick up physical tickets at ticket Windows or guest services outside any park.

There is a thread about this on the Theme Park Attractions forum but I’m on mobile and can’t link it. The UT site also has a FAQ about linking tickets.

Last I checked the etickets were good until the end of 2019.

Same here in CO...almost 70 yesterday and high in the 20's today...what season is that?? Idk, but prefer the 70 day. Today was so cold and it's too early for winter.

I’ll try! *clears throat* Amex, Amex, go away, come again another day

That's good!

 

[GlamMistress]

Oh please update how your flight goes. I’m still hemming and hawing about possibly flying them one way in December. I’ve been watching sw prices forever and they aren’t budging. And have fun!!

I typically do fly Frontier to Disney because it is cheap, short and non-stop. Don't worry tho - if anything goes wrong, you'll hear about it.

I see an Amex Offer for eBags - Spend $100 or more, get $20 back, expires 1/15/19.

DoC posted an article last week that it may be possible to use certain Amex Offers more than once: https://www.doctorofcredit.com/some-amex-offer-deals-can-be-done-on-multiple-cards/ Of course, there’s a risk that Amex may claw back the statement credit. However, I’ve seen no more DPs that Amex is clawing back credits from multiple use Amex Offers beyond the Staples offer.

But it's so pretty It was really nice to see 4x on the dining from The Edison last weekend at WDW and the various stands at HHN. Today DH and I stopped by Cheesecake Factory and were able to purchase a $10 GC with the Rose Gold Amex. DH, didn't request a new rose gold card for himself. He says because it weighs more and can't be shredded. I wonder if knowing he's a plane princess and then adding a Rose Gold card to his wallet might have something to do with it. ;-)

Can confirm that a Cheesecake Factory GC purchased in restaurant credits. Bought a $10 GC on 10/9, transaction posted as 10/10, $10 credit dated 10/13.

Relatedly, I’ve read the lowest denomination GC sold by Ruth’s Chris is $25.

So I have the AmEx Gold and want to take advantage of the new dining benefit but grub hub and seamless do not deliver to me and I don’t live very near the other restaurants- any hacks you all know about so this doesn’t waste? Can you buy $10 gift cards online somehow?

@amalone1013 - I'm out of Kroger points for the moment. Where are you going for gas these days? Do you still have your spreadsheet? My current plan is Exxon with the SPG Business for 10% + 3% Dosh + whatever the Speedpass+ app gives me. Am I missing anything?

I have seen reference to the Exxon offer a couple of times now. I thought when I saw it the 1st time (several weeks ago) it was about to expire.? I have SPG Biz but did not see the offer. Can you please provide additional info? Thanks

80 something yesterday, 80 something today means it is no longer summer in South Florida. We don't have winter, spring and fall. We have summer, 90 something degrees, and we have, not summer, less than 90 something degrees.

Oh that's good to know! Thanks for the DP. I suspected that about Ruth Chris from what I saw online on their website. Admittedly, I initially wanted Ruth Chris GCs but if they are at a $25 minimum, it would mean spending an additional $15 each month that I wasn't planning to do. I'd rather buy the Cheescake Factory GCs and use them to spring for free dining down the line or as stocking stuffers.

I was looking for a DP on that too. If I don't find one by November, I will test it out myself for Cheesecake Factory.

This was 10% back up to $100 and expires 11/30. It came out this summer so I'm not sure it can be added still, I never saw it on my Hilton biz cards that I got in July and August.

Wow you guys have been busy. Just caught up from the last 11 day while we were at disney. Only good thing about an 17 hr drive back Home.

Just checked in to report this but Lain beat me to it! I also saw an offer for $10 back on a $200 Amex gift card. I know there’s a fee AND shipping but IIRC sometimes you can also get one or both of those free too through email offers.

Waaaay too early for winter. At least we will be in Florida in 8 days!!

We normally fly frontier, also. The flights are just too cheap to pass up. We might be going to Phoenix in December because the tickets are $25 one way.

Did you get snow?

Now I have to look at this. My grandpa goes to Phoenix for the winter.

Was this a regular Walmart order or grocery pick up?

Regular order

There are several DPs from Reddit that a GrubHub GC does not trigger the credit, and a few that say a Seamless GC also doesn’t work. I don’t use either service, so I can’t speak from experience. However, someone noted that GrubHub has a pickup option, which should trigger the $10 credit and save you the delivery fee and tip. If GrubHub doesn’t deliver near you, check the app to see if there are restaurants that offer the pickup option.

Further confirming the idea that Amex doesn't like it if you MS your MSR, but is happy to give you more cards as long as you keep buying cash equivalents on the cards you already have: https://www.reddit.com/r/churning/comments/9o1xqx/daily_discussion_thread_october_14_2018/e7s8pb5
