How about draining the Visa e-gift cards, like you get from Swagbucks? I tried to use one on Amazon today and couldn’t so I broke my order into 2 parts to use part of it. Now I have $3 left and $5 on another.

Like @Albort said, just load that amount to your amazon account

@Alexle2007 is there not a number you can all to find out your remaining balance?

Do they ever match? I have met my spend but not gotten my points yet. I don’t have an employee card but would happily get one

Some questions on Plastiq business referrals, the 10,000 FFD offer.

1) Does the referrer have to be signed up as a business?

2) Can I refer P2? I know Chase does not have any problem with this but not sure if Plastiq sees things the same way.

3) What qualifies as a business from Plastiq’s point of view? P2 has one of those businesses that is good enough to get a CIP if ya know what I mean, wink wink. Is Plastiq going to be as easy-going when awarding the FFD’s to P2’s business account?

The Plastiq news comes just as I am making some major payments on a kitchen renovation to a contractor who does not accept credit cards so I am trying to get the most out of this.

Thanks for your help!

I’ve heard mixed reports on them matching. I figured it’s worth a shot.

Yeah - I’m really sorry to now throw this one out there. Didn’t somebody mention about waiting so many days before you try again with Barclays?

So how does anyone use them for Disney GCs?

I’m guessing as long as you pay with a business card, you’re a business. My account wasn't set up as a business but I got the offer to refer another business.

Thanks. Unfortunately, we don’t shop at either of those. They are no where near us.

stop and shop? Mine does

Southwest Schedule Release Update

I try to keep all my friends here up to speed on this. Southwest's next release was originally schedules for May 23rd. They subsequently pushed it back to May 29th. Now they have updated it yet again to June 20th!

We are currently accepting air reservations through November 2, 2019. On June 20, 2019 we will open our schedule for sale through January 5, 2020. This date is subject to change! Please check back frequently.​

I'd assume this has something to do with the Max 8 situation and trying to reach a resolution before releasing a schedule of flights for the holidays that they perhaps will need to alter later.

For those who are planning to fly Southwest no matter what during those busy months, this is probably a minor frustration. (It's not like anybody else is beating you to those flights). Unfortunately, for those hoping to price SW against other airlines, this is a pretty major delay. They could be faced to make a decision to go elsewhere as holiday travel plans need to be finalized.

NOOOOOOOO!!!!

 

[wendow]

NOOOOOOOO!!!!

Agree!!! Getting ridiculous!

 

[wintotty]

Yes I did. It was legit. There was no fraud; they just wanted to confirm I was the person who applied. I think its routine.

Thank you! Phone numbers were different, so I thought it was scam. I guess I should call them back then.

I’ve heard mixed reports on them matching. I figured it’s worth a shot.

They gave me an extra 10k. Took 2 statement cycles.

 

[wendow]

So how does anyone use them for Disney GCs?

The ones from SBs? I either use them on sams website to buy Disney or on the Disney website to buy Disney. Mostly sams for me though.

I spend mine at Panera.

Yeah. 120 days. Just not sure if that is from first denial or the second one

 

[wintotty]

@wintotty - I'll also add that I ignored this call back in March and that's what caused my card to take almost 4 weeks to arrive. It was legit I would've returned the call sooner except they left a voicemail and it got buried amidst 3 other junk voicemails from that same day (UGH I hate junk calls!)

Oh I don’t want the card to be delayed. I’ll call them back!
