Shoot, yes I said that backwards. Wait, now I am second guessing which is which. I guess I better double check. I sure don't want to be stuck at home!

Well let’s just hope you aren’t stuck anywhere

seriously. well I said it right but had it backwards in my head. So I may end up with my outbound cancelled. uggh. Out of 5 nonstops that day, 3 are on 800s. Lets hope they choose a different one to mess with.

For those of you with eBay “businesses” did you see this:
https://www.doctorofcredit.com/major-change-to-paypal-refund-policy-processing-fees-wont-be-refunded-on-order-cancellation-affects-ebay-sellers-etc/

Major Change to Paypal Refund Policy – Processing Fees Won’t be Refunded on Order Cancellation (Affects eBay Sellers, etc.).

So in summary, if you have a refund and you paid the CC processing fee you won’t get that back. On a $100 order this could cost you about $3 (if a refund occurs).

It seems like there are quite a few of us worrying about this. I really hope we all have our scheduled flights with no issues!

@SouthFayetteFan Sigh. You had to go and do it while I was gone. I leave for 30mins to go Pew Pew with the laser and I miss it! Made something for my daughters teacher. She's in a Montessori program.

If anyone is booked on SW....keep checking your flights
We are flying roundtrip ISP- MCO 5/25 and 6/2

Noticed while checking prices today that one of the direct flights home is showing no availability....searched other Sundays and the same flight is not available at all....I’m wondering if that flight number will be cancelled due to the grounding of the MAX 8

That's what they did to me, even tho it was not a Max8. Told me to be thankful they gave me 5 days notice. Tweeted them and commented on their FB posts, all ignored as well as others too. I figure my new plan now is to book two return flights and cancel the one they don't cancel so I at least have a way to return next time.

I got the email this morning that our return mco-isp April 21 was cancelled, the 1pm-ish one, guessing that's the one they've cancelled across the board. They put us on a 2 stop flight getting in at 11pm same day. The only reason we drive out to isp from NJ is for the nonstops! If I wanted stops, I'd fly ewr (which don't get me started on them taking those away from us - we are having to seriously consider if we'll go for the companion pass again, we're covered through this year).

Anyway, I got lucky and was able to switch us to the nonstop leaving mco around 5pm same day. It was sold out, then had 2 seats available while I was on hold, which we got. And then later (possibly still now), more seats were available. Who knows.

When they made the original switch, they dropped our early bird. The girl making the second switch assured me that she was able to reattach them, but they're not there so I'm going to have to call again. Fun stuff. I know I'm lucky we got an acceptable flight back.

In much better news, my husband's CIP2 was approved overnight. Woo woo!

I stopped at Safeway today and picked up the MCGCs on my account. Just sent them to a car loan through Plastiq. I've now put almost $4500 through on my 'business' plastiq account (think of all the driving to the post office I do...) though about $1300 so far was not business cards, so I'll be curious to see if it tracks towards the $10k. That's enough progress for tonight, right? I'm wiped lol. Last night was not enough to make up for my 3am shift yesterday. DH lands at 11:30 tonight but FIL has kindly offered to pick him up (more like insisted... he keeps telling me that it's silly for me to stay up and go out there late when I have to work early and he's at home - I will bow to his wisdom )

May do DHs Safeway deal tomorrow or Thurs, all going on my Brilliant (it's textured, I didn't realize that...). So glad you pointed this out @Lain. I may still pull the trigger on a Platinum in the next week or so, it helps make a good dent in the spends. If I do that and CIP 2 for me, that will put me at my highest MSR ever... $24k. Brilliant upgrade, DHs CIP 2, AA Biz cards... $1300 to go on Arrival Plus... Wow this sounds super crazy!

On the other hand, maybe I should push through a bit and look at hotels... I think I've twisted DHs arm into adding another day for our F&G trip. We were already looking at after Easter, even though it will be busy... we like one of the concert artists... I'm very tempted by MK being open until midnight since we've never had that (also a sign of busy but 9pm park close on slow times makes me sad as we're night owls)... now they added the passholder MK night... But hotels are scarce. May be coming to terms with cashing out more URs. Or may be using my Brilliant credit at Swolphin... I can put A Year in the Life back on too @afan I watched Winter and Spring, I knew I'd seen Winter and turns out at least half of Spring. I'm excited yet scared to watch the next two!

@amalone1013 - if you’re buying the MCGCs on your credit card (or a credit card with your name on it), you don’t need to wait to bring along Zack. Just save the coupon to Zack’s account, and enter the phone number attached to his account at checkout. The cashiers don’t care whose account you use; they mostly care that you’re paying with a credit card with your name on it.

Oh yes, I just meant more that we will probably be carpooling anyways lol. I could have stopped yesterday but forgot.

I had to explain direct vs nonstop to DH tonight lol

Well I missed this one earlier...but it fits here:

And this one for good measure:

Someone remind me when you should be able to see points pending on CSP. When you meet spend or closer to closing?

If you mean the signup bonus points - they’ll probably go pending within 5-10 days after meeting the MSR. Then they’ll post with your next stmt close.

I discovered new travel offers on Sams club's website today. They used to have travel stuff, then didn't, but it appears to be back. I see DAH for 10-15% off, but I haven't had much time to play around with it yet.

Not seeing them a week later but I did SM to confirm MSR was met. I got my mom to get a CSP and wanted to make sure she met MSR. I’ll just keep an eye out Thanks.

Quoting myself to add a screen shot. This is what I bought for my boys for our trip. It is quite a savings through sams!

ETA: I am seeing some pretty good hotel prices too.

They used to go pending on a certain day if I recall but that was years ago. I think it’s part of some batch process they run (kind of like how support pts post on Tuesdays).

 

[Haley R]

Dh’s offers are gone on his CSR. Is anyone else having this issue? If not, does anyone know what I can do?
