    I love credit cards so much! v6.0 - 2023 (see first page for add'l details)

    Amex Plat fee posted 3/20, I chatted today to see about a retention offer, I was transferred to a specialist who gave me the rundown of the card benefits, I said I like the lounge access but wouldn't be traveling as much this year and was disappointed that Audible was no longer a digital credit...

    I had some of my SW CL moved to another card, can't remember which one but it was no problem.

    Sounds like you've already found a place, but I travel to Atlanta for work about once a month, usually just an overnighter and always stay at the airport Hilton. They always accommodate my requests for a high floor, corner room and the bar has very good old fashioneds lol. Priorities!

    I had those offers on a few cards a few months ago and used them. I got 2 yesterday but now mine are spend $150 get the $15 back. Not quite the incentive that it previously was.

    Uber money grab?

    Prebook is definitely worth it if you don't live near a major town/city AND you want a guaranteed ride at a specific time. My daughter's car was recently in the shop and she didn't have a loaner, so she prebooked rides to work since she lives outside the city limits, was totally worth it to have...

    Yes, even if we don't "cook" I still like a kitchen for longer stays. We might have a dinner of local cheese and bread with wine, etc. so a bigger fridge and room to spread out is so nice!

    Ahhh, 21 days, I'm jealous! And I'll be waiting on your report since we aren't going until September. We too might look at an Airbnb in Paris, so many markets there I wouldn't mind buying food and taking it back to make our own meals some of the time.

    Just wanted to share the data for a trip we booked to London/Paris for Sept. P2 and I each transferred some miles to Flying Blue during the last bonus from Amex, but we had to top it off yesterday in order to book what we wanted. I had been keeping an eye on KLM/Airfrance and when I found a...

    Eating out

    Quoting myself because we both did a year end summary on our credit cards last night for 2023 and I guess we eat out more than I thought! We averaged around $1100 a month! :crazy2: We did travel quite a bit last year so that accounts for a lot of it.

    Eating out

    I'd say maybe $800? It's mostly just DH and I, but occasionally one of the kids is home from college, however I'm more apt to make one of their favorite meals than go out. It really ebbs and flows, some weeks we don't go out at all, then others, like this past week DH has met a few friends...

    Pin Trading - still a thing?

    My GD was trading back in April, there also were some souvenir kiosks that also had pin trading that we just randomly found.

    Anyone buy United travel bank yet and receive the credit on your Amex Plat? I bought $100 on Jan. 2 and still waiting. I didn't want to buy the other $100 until I knew it worked again this year. This is how it is listed on my Amex account so I'm a little nervous: Special Service Ticket Flight...

    Ah I'm jealous! Tried to figure out a way to do a quick NYC trip to see that musical, it looks hilarious, I follow them both on IG. Looks like it's ending the end of Jan. though.

    I have an offer on several Chase cards to spend $100 or more on phone/utilities/transportation/gym/Insurance to receive a $15 credit. If I pay $100 early toward my next Verizon cell phone bill with one of my cards, I won't lose the credit for autopay correct? Since the balance would then be...

    Anyone with the IHG card receive the United Travel Bank $25 credit for this year yet? I noticed I received it last year on Jan. 5, so may not happen until then. I'm wanting to book a United flight and patiently waiting for the $25 credit. They expire after 6 months and I'm not sure if I'll use...

    I know Amex credits have been taking longer to post, but here's a puzzler. A week or so ago I used my Plat card to book a night at the Dolphin to get the $100 Marriott credit, a few days later I used DD's AU card to book the 2nd night. I had added the $100 back after a purchase of $250 to both...
