I had booked a reservation in the travel portal using all of my MRs. When I had to cancel, they credited my card as if I had paid it in cash. I know I can call and ask them to change them back to MR, but now I’m wondering if it’s just best to use the card until the credit is gone which would essentially be me cashing out my rewards?
That's a shame, but good to know. Yes, she can apply again anytime after downgrading. Since she didn't get the bonus she's eligible now as long as she's not holding any Sapphire card.
I'm jealous! I got 5% on my two Chase, will see what Hubby has on his set when he wakes up.
Same restriction for me at Best Buy this week. I wanted to buy $200 in Disney GCs, so I grabbed 4 $50 cards since I didn’t see $100s. When they told me there was the limit - I said let me look again for different denominations and found a variable load one. So I was able to get $200 in the end. Dumb restriction.
I don't mean to out myself but I worked at best buy in high school back when dial-up internet was a thing. the reason they do is that a lot of credit card fraud is done through gift cards, the same reason these scammers that take advantage of the elderly either ask for gift cards or money orders. I'm not sure who takes the loss on it but id imagines it's some type of loss for the store.
I have an AMEX Business account. It requires $5,000 for 60 days, 10 uses of the card (aka charge your coffee 10 times) and then after the points post, you are good to remove the money. I did it when they offered $300 rather than 30,000 MR. I actually needed a business bank account, so I'm keeping it. There are no fees for the account.
The terms have changed, debit card transactions no longer count.
Oh. When I did it, it was use your card 10 times. I guess they changed it recently.
I was going to research this one too. Do you know if you have to have a business card with AmEx for this? I have the Hilton Biz, but DH doesn't have a biz card through them (just regular Plat and Gold).
I don't have an AMEX Business CC and I was good to open the account. Since I don't have an AMEX card, I can't transfer the points, but from my understanding you can once you have linked up your MR. If you don't have MR, you would just turn them into cash in the app.
I have this offer in my AMEX account, what "business" info is needed to open this?
I have a Hilton Business but it asked me which card to use the information from and I used by regular Plat. I uploaded my driver's license for the business documents, SS# and name for the sole proprietor. Once approved, it immediately populated into my list of accounts in my Amex account along with all other credit cards and back accounts.
Just got an email that I was approved for the card and the credit limit was over $10k so clearly didn't need to shift any credit around. Very weird that it went for review and had to be further escalated before being approved.
