I love credit cards so much! v3.0 (see first page for add'l details)

Just got an email from Ticketmaster that my Mariners game in August was cancelled and I'll automatically be refunded. Yippee!

Yep, waiting on my Motley refund. I'm still waiting for Aerosmith to cancel their 50th anniversary show in Boston. There's no way that is happening and I just want my money back at this point.

My kids went to the beach with their dad for a week. We stagger them so I'm used to having one of them around most of the time. I'm already in tears. And I get to keep my ex's dog who barks at the tv and irritates my 13.5 year old dog.

Same with an extra dog only it’s my daughters...my little 8lb pup is 11...her pup isn’t even a year and 50lbs...He is a sweetheart but wants to play with her like he does with the other large dogs he’s around...it’s going to be a long weekend

@punkin -
We recently bought a new refrigerator, stove, dishwasher, microwave. We bought them all at Lowe's. They had a price match guarantee that if you find a lower price on the same model somewhere else they would beat it by 10%. The Lowe's employee who helped us tipped us off the the fact that Home Depot's prices were typically 1 or 2 cents cheaper so we could use that as the price match and get 10% off. For example, our frig was $2398.99 at Lowe's and $2398.97 at Home Depot, so we pulled that up on our phone and they gave us 10% of Home Depot's price. When we looked around at all the places around here that sold appliances, that was the best deal every time. I'm not sure if every Lowe's does that.

Edited because I quoted the wrong post

Do you think they would price match Costco?

usually no, most stores will claim Costco is "exclusive members only" place, therefore wont match.
that being said, it doesnt hurt to try.

I'm thinking of going with Costco anyway. They're cheaper and their 5 year protection plan is also cheaper.

Goodbye Captiva. The van pulls out at 7am. Gotta get some sleep - the week has been amazing. We got one last sunset in tonight before packing up...


(It took a little while to train the Pelican to do this...)

On the topic of distancing... this week was everything I imagined it could be in that regard. Since we departed the Walmart on Saturday at 5pm or so, I have not spoken to a human outside of my travel party . A few nods as people walked by our tent at a distance. Passed some folks on bikes ringing the bell. But literally 100% distanced for 6 full days.

Oh, no. Your poor dog! Thankfully mine is bigger than his (same breed) so she can hold her own

For those with the Happy card promo on AMEX, don't forget it's about to expire. I was about to let it go when I found a Father's day card that includes Lowes. Might be nice for those who are doing home improvement! I realize it's not the Happy Guy we used to be able to use at Home Depot for Disney cards but it is something we can use at 15% off.

Does anyone know.....

If we use our CIP for our room charges while a wdw, does it count toward the 3x for "travel" instead of using our card at individual locations (for example....using our card at DS versus charging everything to the "card on file" via a mb)? I'm explaining this poorly.

I have put my CIP on file, then used our magic bands for charging to the room....it did code 3x as travel

I was wondering if that was going to happen soon since they're doing an all new schedule. And there won't be fans.

Requested and received a refund for the MLB.TV package. Most of the Brewers games will be blacked out on MLB.TV for me since they will be playing all NL/AL Central.

oh perfection. so many pelicans down there.... I love watching them and bravo on the social distancing vacation!

That's annoying. I know who they'll be playing but the schedule won't be out until at least tomorrow from what I read the other day. Sports is one of the reasons we keep directv. I know there are other ways but there's enough other stuff we watch that it's just easier this way. Looking forward to it being on again.

About to wrap up the spend on DH's Southwest cards. He has already earned the Companion Pass thanks to the extra points they are crediting right now, but still need to finish earning the extra points from the tiered spend offer.

I cannot decide what I want to do next. Not having any travel plans makes me not as excited about getting cards. I'm open to anything at this point.

Current stats are:

P1 (Me)
SW Priority - 10/18 (1/24)
Amex Plat - 11/18 (2/24)
CIU - 2/19
Citi AA Biz - 4/19
CIP - 5/19
Amazon Biz - 7/19
JetBlue Biz - 7/19
Chase Biz - 11/19
Amex Gold 12/19 (3/24)

P2 (DH)
AU on my now cancelled Plat (1/24)
Hilton Biz - 7/19
CIP - 10/19
Southwest Priority - 1/20 (2/24)
Southwest Plus - 1/20 (3/24)

I also have a CSR that I just upgraded to in December and paid the fee for this month. Thanks to the new categories I finally used up the travel credit this month too. I've also already had the Hilton biz and have a CIC. The Disney and JetBlue cards are my oldest cards which I have downgraded both of to the no fee versions. DH doesn't like to mess around with cards very much so it's been nice to just have him put everything on his own SW card. However he has gotten much more receptive to cards since seeing how much we have gotten out of them, even during a pandemic. We are considering cashing in a bunch of Amex points for Home Depot gift cards to replace our dying fridge.

I keep thinking about the JetBlue plus card, but that is only $1k spend and not sure DH would use the card if it's not in his name and he does all the grocery shopping currently. I was also looking at the Citi Prestige, but not sure I want another points currency right now. I have used about 100k URs recently so would like to try and bump them back up. Could I cash out a few URs on my CSR for groceries (might as well, right?), then downgrade to a CSP to support him to his own CSP or is that frowned upon since it has only been 6 months since I upgraded to a CSR? At what point then could I upgrade to a CSR again if I want lounge access?

I wouldn't pc it down yet, though I think some used to go back and forth more frequently than a year but with how things are changing I don't know that I'd do that. If you still have a support link for the CSP it should still work. Mine still does though I think I'm still waiting for the last support to post.

The other option would be have him apply for the CSR then he'd get another $300 in credit. Especially if he's doing most of the grocery shopping, I think that you can redeem URs for them past the end of this month. But I think the extra points for grocery shopping finish on the 30th right? I should really pay more attention but I've been working on an msr so I haven't been using it as much but have made a few grocery purchases on my csr and cf for the extra points. I just know my hilton is through the end of July so I'll finish the last $250 of it at safeway for the 12x points.

I know the CIP support is basically dead and that I shouldn't count on those ever appearing, but have the CSP support started taking longer than it used to? Probably more of an @Albort or @SouthFayetteFan once he's back home question. I haven't seen anything on r/churning about them but I also haven't been looking.

I haven’t seen any DPs of CSP clicks lagging. They seem to be posting efficiently although I have no personal DP in the past month to state that for certain.

I had some points on it but I'm not sure which one it's from. I need to go on and figure out when they posted because I was only going by what my total points was and also thought I'd already moved the support points from the first one over. I just couldn't figure out how to find out when the points posted.

If you look at your monthly statements the support points will show on a separate line

Thanks! Trying to find the statements in the app I found on earning on next statement first and there's the support points. So the one's I thought I had transferred but hadn't were the first bit. The next will be on the next statement. Which also means I haven't been looking in the right spot while waiting for them But I'd also say normal amount of time for them to post.
