Just circling back on the 10% raise topcashback offer from February. I filed missing claim after 7 days of purchase. Then a month later in march tcb notified me that they have submitted claim to Raise. Almost nearly a month after, upon confirmation through Raise, tcb have added my 10% to my acct. Took 2 mo from the purchase to getting credited on my acct but at least it worked out. Thanks again to this forum, helped me save alot on our early march trip.
 
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.
We love to tuck away at Nomad’s Lounge and spend a few hours even just relaxing, eating, and drinking.
 
@LuckyMamaInDE It is not looking good for our dream trips to the Land Downunder! I pretty sure I am about to breakdown! It was bad enough having our cruise canceled and Disneyland but this is too much! I am so over vacation planning! I doubt will be able nab 3 F Class on Qantas again. And now I’ll have all of these Qantas miles that will get me nowhere :( I am going over to the corner with my margaritas to 😭 💔💔💔💔Bye, bye 🐨🐨🇦🇺🇦🇺🍾🍾 😢😢😢😢😢😢https://viewfromthewing.com/europe-...-september-australia-through-end-of-the-year/
:hug:

I am just so sad. Australia has been such a dream for so many years. This trip was the reason I picked up this little hobby of ours. If it gets cancelled I'll be sitting on a bazillion United miles that will probably be devalued anyway.

:sad1:
I hope they're wrong. I have a 30th anniversary Europe trip planned in late August.
:hug:
I'll grieve with you. :sad2: :sad2: :sad2: I've known for a while that the chances of us getting to Norway and Iceland in Aug/Sept were very slim, but it just stinks. We worked hard to get those lie flat seats, the PHPV in Paris reservation and the Marriott in Copenhagen. Plus all the private tours I booked (and our cruise) to all line up at the right times. It's pretty devastating, really. 💔 I'm sorry you're going to be stuck with all the Qantas miles - our's will be Flying Blue, but with no plans to travel it all just makes me sad. I'll join you in the corner and I'll bring a box of Kleenex. 😭
:hug:

I just stress-ate some dark chocolate, but I probably have enough to share with everyone.
I completely understand how you guys feel so I will share my potential lost trips with you.

July - Hawaii flying first class in lie flat seats, Managed to get a 2 bdrm ocean view over July 4th weekend at Aulani at the 7 month window. Have the luau booked for the 6 of us too. On the way back we were stopping at DLR for a few days and had managed to get a 2 bdrm at Grand California at the 7 month window. DVC banking window will close at the end of the month so if this trip doesn't happen, that's a lot of DVC points I stand to lose.

September - Ireland/Northern Ireland First class on BA using a travel together ticket that was earned by spending $30,000 on the BA card. If the trip is cancelled the travel together ticket will expire shortly after so that was a waste of $30k spend. Four nights at Ashford Castle with UR points and no idea how that will play out as to whether or not we'd get the UR points back.

December - Dubai and Africa. Lie flat business class seats on Emirates, 400,000 BonBlah points for 5 nights at The Al Maha Desert Resort & Spa. One night at Giraffe Manor that is a huge bucket list item and this entire trip is literally planned around having managed to get one night there. Then 5 nights at the Fairmont Mara Safari club in Kenya. I was so looking forward to seeing the Maasai Mara and checking off our 7th continent.

These are on top of the trips we've already had to cancel. We had finally timed the cherry blossoms blooming in DC perfectly and had our 1st class flights booked with points and miles. We had secured 2 nights at The Willard with our last unrestricted free night certs from IHG. We secured a reservation for afternoon tea at Peacock alley and were going to meet up with a fellow DISer for dinner at the Occidental. All of that never happened.

Last week week, I had lie flat first class seats to New York. It was my niece's Christmas present and it would have been her second time ever on a plane and her very first trip to New York. We had free night certs from BonBlah in Times Square and had front row center seats to the Broadway musical she had been dying to see. None of that happened either.

So, I get it. I would never have thought 2020 looks like what it does right now. If you're gonna have Margaritas, I will join you and bring some ice cream and chocolate. While we drown ourselves in tasty cocktails, let's remember that if we travel hacked these trips once, we can totally do it again. :grouphug:
:hug:

If our Aussie trip is cancelled, I will rebook for the same time period next year if possible.

Mine finally posted today as well!
 
Of the cards posted that people are seeing it on, we only have the BBP. Both dh & I have that card but no Zola.
We have the BBP and a Hilton biz card. We wouldn't have used the offer anyway since we have two big MSRs right now and we're focusing everything on those.
