So I have 4 Chase cards and my new CSR and CSP are not listed under my Chase accounts when looking for new offers. Is there something I need to do to activate Chase offers on these in order for them to show up? We eat Chick-fil-A A LOT so I'm needing this new Chase Offer to show up and my current 2 Chase accounts don't have it listed

Nothing you need to activate...the offers just show up.....I find the cards I use the most get the most offers

Just seen an offer on my Amex BBP - spend $4,500 get 1500 MR points (up to 3 times).

I make that a bonus 0.33 MRs per dollar - gee thanks, Amex.

Mine was spend $13,000, get 3500 MR...no thanks

 

[mamathompson]

guys guys... $150 is a lot of chick fila...

not in our house!

I was going to say the same thing.....not with my crew! Heading to check if I have the offer right now!
ETA- Success! This is a good one.

It seems like you get more offers the more yo use the cards.

20% of $150 = $30 maximum

Duh....
Thanks.

I've got a bunch of (about 9) travel reservations (mostly Disney, but others as well) where I've put deposits down on DH's CSR. The deposits total several thousand dollars. I'm planning to cancel that CSR when the AF hits next month. What will happen if I (likely) cancel some or all of those reservations? Most are in the January/February/March timeframe, but I've also got a tentative reservation for the 50th anniversary next October on there, so it could be a year after the card is closed that deposits would be refunded. Any advice on how to handle this?

You can PC it to one of the Chase freedom cards that don’t have an annual fee so if anything is cancelled the deposits would go back to the card

Oh perfect! That’s what I was planning on doing with that card anyway.

I was just able to adjust late Feb/early March SW reservation!

I probably won't eat that much in Chick Fil A (my weird children don't like it) but man I can eat a 12 count of nuggets in about 2 minutes flat... I don't even need sauce! And if there is a peppermint chocolate chip shake to wash it down with, so much the better! (Sweet tea is an acceptable substitute when it's not the right time of year for them to have the shake).

Oh lord - don’t get me STARTED on the peppermint chocolate chip milkshakes!! The day they come out each year is literally my favorite day of the year! (I might need to go get another $150 gift card on my SW card....)

We head down to Orlando in 2 days. It will just be a pool trip but we had highs in the 20's lately and any escape feels good. Then, a couple days ago @SouthFayetteFan mentioned something about winter SW flights and there I was looking again... I booked some flights with the idea of making changes. Last night I made my first change and then I got an email that SW changed my homebound flight which allowed me to "fix" our flight home. I now have flights and am homeless. Time to start setting my alarm for 0330 again to find those sweet timeshare trades.

So I know Amex doesn't like gift card purchases to meet MSR, but is it ok for trying to meet the $15,000 spend on Hilton for the FNC?

 

[StephPlum]

Received an email that Hilton is extending points expiration through 12/31/21 and staGus through Match 2021. Good news.

Yeah, I got that one also. But I don't have a Hilton card and my points expired long ago. Only had a few anyway.

Also drastically lowered the night requirements for elite statuses. With the current promotion I will be at 15 nights for the year when I get back from Denver, only need 20 for Gold, 30 for Diamond. I think I can manage 15 more nights by the end of 2021, especially if softball comes back next year.

Thank you! I hadn't heard it went that for out already. I got my March Hawaii flights changed and saved 55,000 points Although I am beginning to wonder if that trip will happen. Wondering if I should be thinking about backup plans.

Good luck!! Hope you find something. I look every once in a while to see about using the cert I got for the timeshare presentation that I did when I met you in WI Dells. Haven't found anything that works yet. I really like Wyndham Bonnet Creek, but I've only seen it on there once.

I think I need an intervention. I keep buying black Zella joggers. How many pairs do I need?

For anyone needing to use their AmEx Plat Saks credit: I had an email this morning that gave me 20% anything including beauty. Rakuten is still at 10% too. Scored some Benefit products for Christmas gifts for my DD.
