One more request for advice.

I am renting a car (for leisure) next weekend. I currently have the CIP and the CitiAAbizcardwiththereallylongnamethaticanneverremember. Since the purpose of the rental is not business, I am assuming I don't get any of the insurance/rental car protection that would come with either of those cards, correct?

But, I think the CIP will also still give me 3x points on the cost of the rental itself?
Is it an eBay business? Could you not be scouting new inventory for your business on this trip? If I didn’t have the CSR and had to justify a claim for the coverage that comes with CIP, I pretty sure I could easily.

The business is, in fact, eBay! (you would honestly not believe how much Star Wars Lego Minifigure Lots can sell for! :faint:)

Looks like you need to be inventory scouting :) Hmmm...my DS has so much Lego it’s not funny. We have 1/2 finished Death Star sitting in my bedroom and multiple boxes of brand new Lego sets that I am sure he will never put together. He would much rather just play with the minfigures.

Well, since all the minifigures got sold, I guess I'll need to go look for new ones!
 

Hm, and now I'm in a similar boat as @wendow .

Since hubby is staying at a Marriott for work this week, I sent him with my SPG card that has the Spend $200 get $40 back offer. He'll put $200 on that card and the rest on his Marriott card (for convenience, since I'd just be transferring the points to his account anyway). Evidently he asked at check-in to put the $200 on that card, so they charged $200 on 7/21 (fully posted, not a hold) and it hasn't triggered the offer yet :confused3

The offer is still showing in my Saved offer list like it never happened. When I checked the details of the transaction it's got the stay dates listed so it should have come through correctly as room and rate charges. I think as of Tue it was still a pending transaction so maybe needs some more time after it posted? Usually it's been pretty good with the emails with just a pending charge but this is the 2nd or 3rd offer I didn't get notice. Don't know what's up with AmEx lately. I'm hoping it'll catch up eventually.
DH did this on Friday and it showed up as a credit on Tuesday. Not sure if he got an email I didn’t ask. I just check the account online.
 
We get a value pack of coupons every week in the mail. This week I noticed one for a free 3-month membership at BJ's. I've never been to a BJ's before, but I've seen it mentioned on here before. I looked and we have one 25 minutes away. Is it worth it for me to join to get gift cards? I can't see what the discount is on them because I don't have a membership.
I joined with the online membership when they had a sale on Disney gift cards. It was worth it to me, from what I have read they offer a sale on them a couple times a year above what they are normally discounted. For example I got a $500 DGC for $465. I think the normal price at BJ’s is $485. I don’t have a store near me so the online membership was the only one I was interested in,

Ah okay so it was about 7% off. Is BJ's ever listed on AMEX or Chase offers?
 
How do you use PayPal in-store at BJs? Can you or is it just online pickup?
I'd guess online pickup, but I haven't tried that feature out yet. I think the only way is to somehow order from the web for the Discover category.

Good to hear. I'm hoping it'll show in a couple days but I think it's weird to not have the offer disappear yet. I'm pretty sure that's what happened in May when we used the last one - got email few minutes later, offer disappeared, couple days later credit when it fully posted - so hopefully it's just a weird AmEx quirk now. Thx!

I can't see the Disney ones because I'm not signed in. Are they priced at $465 for a $500 one?
 
Just popping in to say that I just woke up at 3:45 am PST on our Disneyland/San Diego trip to schedule FP's for my Sept trip to WDW. I hate FPP right now.
#FirstWorldProblems#ChurnerProblems

There's only three of us going in Sept for a 5 day trip. Couldn't get SDD (except 5th day after we take off - not going to work), FoP, or SDMT. Pretty disappointing morning. I'll have to go read up on the SDFP method on dischurners. Oh well, I'll keep checking and see if anything pops up. If not maybe the extra early magic hours will help. It's kind of weird, this is by far the worst I've done on FP's at 60 days for a trip, and Sept/fall is supposed to be soft as far as crowds. :confused3:confused3:confused3

On another note I love MaxPass! DD6 rode BTMR 8 times yesterday! I think we've ridden Hyper SM 10 or so this trip, RSR 4 times, Indy 4 or 5 times, and so much more! We've been so busy with rides we've barely had time for eating. Had "dinner" last night at 11:15 (kids ate at hotel before we returned- don't want anyone to think I'm starving my children!) Heading to San Diego today, the weather should be better (low 80's). It's been hot here (mid-90's). Not humid though, contrary to what I've overheard people saying :):rolleyes:

Ok, back to bed for me!
 
Amex is driving me nuts this morning. Placed an order from Boxed on my son's rose gold on Sunday. Ordered two 16 oz. vanillas (it seems like only a few years ago Costco sold vanilla for $6 for 16 oz. and now it's $30). On his account, under savings on the offer tab, it shows it's redeemed but it hasn't credited. It also isn't triggering the dining credit. Chatting with Amex but they're clueless.
