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

Just saw an Amex offer for Zola.com. $20 off 100 and they sell gift cards like Lowe’s and Disney.

Thanks, I’ve never heard of Zola! I’ll take 20%.

We finished the second floor today! Dh wants to only do one “bag” per day. Really it’s more than one bag but they all have the same number. So four bags could all have the number 3 on them and we open them all. Our other set came in today and we’re leaving it in the garage until we finish this one.

Guess I’ll move it to the CF for this quarter. Thanks.

I am so sorry...really sorry since I know what you're missing

Since I'm a control freak I've been busy dismantling my summer plans.

July lemons (aka there went my big 50th trip)-I cancellled my trip to Edinburgh and rescheduled the tour of Lewis, Harris, Skye, Mull and Iona to next June/July. I cancelled my favorite hotel in Edinburgh and won't be staying there (in the spa) for my actual birthday. Scott Dunn is being difficult (I feel you @*WDW*Groupie*!) but I'm hoping my travel insurance will cover 75% of the nonrefundable deposit. Croatia and Slovenia will happen another year, with another company.

Lemonade-I used the ridiculous number of Bonvoy points I received back to book the Swan during Food & Wine. I'm still waiting for British Air to cancel my flight and hopefully I can use those points to rebook next year's flight and was able to reschedule my islands tour with the same company. I found a FL resident rate for nights covering my actual birthday and currently have a GF club level room for that, as well as reservations for Beaches and Cream and Yachtsman Steakhouse. Fingers crossed that the GF Spa will be open because I plan to eat and spa for 72 hours.

I also requested my TA cancel my August Baltic cruise with DCL today. This is the second time I've had to cancel this itinerary so perhaps that's a sign. No plans right now to substitute for this trip but we'll see. Delta was super awesome and refunded my taxes and miles without a miles redeposit fee, saving me what would have cost $900 ($150/per flight x 6 flights).

Lemonade-when we are back to flying again, both DH and I have a healthy stash of Delta and United miles and hopefully soon Flying Blue and BA miles. My love of travel has not diminished (and has grown with absence lol) and I suspect almost as soon as the go-ahead to fly, cruise, go to parks, I'll be among the first queuing up!

I would love to hear more about your experience with Scott Dunn. In our case, they told me to "consider our trip cancelled" but are refusing to honor their "terms and conditions", which state that if they cancel they will give us a refund. They are only offering for us to postpone, but that doesn't work for us (for many, many reasons, not least of which is they may not survive these unprecedented times). Have you tried to file a dispute with your credit card company?

My travel “advisor “ sent me a snarky email reminding me it’s not yet 90 days out so I need to wait to contact her. I’m optimistic I can just say cancel it and let them keep my deposit- no way am I paying in full since I agree with you I don’t see them surviving the economy short term especially with their lack of service. My travel insurance will hopefully cover 75% of our deposit but if not I’ll just walk away- it’s not worth the aggravation of dealing with Scott Dunn anymore.

Chase extended by MSR period from 3 months to 6 month for my sw biz performance. Took five days to respond to my SM.

I had a dream that my stimulus payment was pending. But alas, it’s not. I’m jealous, lol.

We made these a few days ago subbing King Arthur gluten free flour. Turned out quite yummy. Can't compare to the parks because I haven't had a gluten free one at Disney yet.

The GF churros at Tiffins Lounge changed my life...

I just didn't make it in there in January, but that is top of my list for the next trip.

This is a must do for me every trip now. There aren’t many really good GF desserts at Disney but this is one!

DH and I took a break and had appetizers and drinks there in February. We loved it! Comfy chairs, great atmosphere, great food . . .

We've eaten at Tiffin's but not the Nomad Lounge. I started to go in February with SIL but we had the free meals to eat from Moonlight Madness so put it on hold. But will go maybe next trip in a year or so.

We spent a hot rainy dinner time at Nomad. The 4 of us. We ordered a ton of small plates, and each had 2 drinks. We sat on the porch and watched the September rain. It was so wonderful!! Cost us a small fortune, but it was so nice and peaceful.

HEYYYYYY!!!!!! Way too much talk of trips that are not gonna happen in the second half of this year. Too early to get all doom and gloom.

I'm hopeful for some path to normality beginning July - it may be a slow road back, but there will be opportunities. I just hope they find a way to stop this virus coming round for a second bite.

I'm in the midst of planning a trip in December..... it won't cost any actual $$$ at this point,so that's a plus! I prefer planning hopefully(and with no cancel restrictions) than just stewing about right now. I have no clue if it will actually happen or not, but I'm happy just imagining it might....

Oh sorry I meant to say Nomad Lounge (I always make that mistake!) the lounge is AMAZING

I figured you meant the Nomad. I only noticed because I want to go there. I really enjoyed the Brown Derby lounge in February - just walking up, good food, no stress about making a 6 month ahead plan.

Sent a SM to Chase for our new CIP, asking what the last date to meet MSR for signup bonus was. I sent the message 5 days ago, and they responded today, saying due to Covid the MSR period has been extended to 6 months. So now we have until Sept 27th to meet spend. I didn't even ask. I'm super happy with that, since I was going to have to get creative with meeting the MSR.

Me neither, but I have the offer on 4 cards. How does Zola work?

That looks cool! We don’t have tv so we might have to find another way to watch it
