I love credit cards so much! v4.0 - 2021 (see first page for add'l details)

I didn't get an email either, but I can see it referenced on the chase site when I log in. Under my Freedom Flex if I click on:

5% cash back (Oct-Dec)5% cash back (Oct-Dec)|Details

Then on the right side of the page:

Have more questions? See FAQs & Merchant List

The last section on the left says: "Earning your 5% cash back on your Top Spend Category offer" and it has all the details.

When I click the same link on my Freedom, I don't see the same thing. So I'm assuming it's only on the Flex not the plain Freedom.
I do wish there was an email or something more concrete to confirm. I'm going to put all my grocery spend on the Flex to get the 5%. If the 5% for whatever reason doesn't happen, I'll only be getting 1% when I could've at least gotten 1.5% on my Freedom Unlimited or used Visa gift cards bought for 5% back. Annoying to have to wait

I got an email this morning about it.

Just got a SW Priority Chase card approved thru a referral from my son. Had to call for approval and they gave me a very high credit limit - almost $18,000. Should I ask them to lower it? I asked to expedite but they said they do not offer that with SW cards. Also, FYI the referral link said the offer was good thru 12/1, not 12/7 on mine.

You should probably lower it before your next Chase card. But it might be handy to have now as you meet MSR.

With the Hyatt card, it takes about 48 hours for them to verify your membership, then you can ask to expedite. Might be the same with SW.

Oh good. Hopefully I'll be getting one soon.
Was it in reference to a Freedom Flex?

I had some Flash Deals on my Chase offers. Only good for two days. 20% off at BB&B (up to $14) on two cards, 20% off at Walgreens (up to $8) on one card, and 20% off at Exxon. Running out at lunch to pick up some gift cards.

Thanks for posting! I have them on 3 cards, with 2 days, 4 days and 6 days to redeem.
Chase Freedom got the 2 days, Disney card got 4 days and CSP got 6 days. I got the 3 you got plus McDonalds, same on all 3 cards.

Also got a Best Buy on the Chase Freedom 10% up to $25.00. So that card is going to see some action, with Walgreens, Giant, Best Buy for DGC's.

 

[Judique]

What are Flash Deals? Are they listed somewhere separately from the usual Chase offers, or are they just mixed in with the usual offers?

Mine were mixed in.

I was looking at my Netflix account to see if I need to load up on gift cards. I don’t see a balance anywhere. Can anyone tell me where to find it? I know it used to show me. Also I notice that they just charge me Willy nilly whenever they feel like it apparently. My billing date went from the 26th, to 13th, to 3rd, to 22nd and now it says the 9th. Anyone else’s account look like this?

Yep. Netflix doesn't split charges, they just prorate. So if you pay ahead with GCs they'll just adjust your service dates to fit what credit you have left. You might end up with a 3 day billing period to use up the credit and then they'll charge your card for a full month.
Since you don't have a full month left, it looks like you're out of credit as of 11/8. The only place I remember seeing a balance is in the confirmation email after I reload.

That is what I was thinking but it has been every other month since June and I haven’t added anything since then so should have been one big balance. Unless maybe I added a bunch of smaller denominations and they don’t add together. I don’t remember. Weird. So I guess I’m out. Didn’t seem to add to a round number either. Maybe I should keep an eye on those better

Yes. Just the Flex.

Used two of my Chase Flash offers. Bought a $50 Uber gift card at BB&B and $40 of Google Play gift cards at Walgreens. Unfortunately I had another BB&B offer on my Chase Disney card but the only Chase Disney card I have expired in 2020. And then I realized there was fraud on my WF Visa and I have some good 10% off groceries (up to $50 back) offers on that card So I had to cancel it.

Putting together a Halloween care package for DD this weekend. And boy do I need a vacation from my job and DS (and the rotten puppy) but I need to hold out until Christmas.

I went to BB&B and purchased $75 worth of Disney gift cards on my SW and Disney cards….didn’t have time to get to Walgreens and grab Disney GCs…since we are flying to Orlando now….thankfully the SW flight departed on time

I had Walgreens, BB&B, Exxon/Mobil and McD's. I used Walgreen's after my lunch date for DGC, and some chocolate. Might see if anyone wants to head down to BB&B this evening. Not sure if I'll use the other two.

Yeah, that could be. I haven't done smaller cards in a while. I have an old, cheap, DVD plan so last few years I buy a larger card when someone is doing a deal and just cover the year.

If you can find the email(s) from June might be able to find the balance. Otherwise I guess it'll be a surprise on 11/9 if your card gets charged or they found another credit

Thanks for this. I have a few that last until 26th so I have a bit of time.

This time of year is always the most $$$ we spend so figured I’d give it a shot. I always think I will have a hard time spending $7500 in 3 months but it will probably be easy the next two months.

I feel the same way but applied for CIC 9/23 and have $1900 left on MSR as of today. It helped that we ordered a $2500 couch but we still spent more than I expected.

I see the Amex Plat offer for $150 when spending $800 at a fine resorts or whatever it’s called. So if I spend $800 I will get the $150 plus the $200 hotel credit.

Why is Amex tempting me so much. We are booked at Hilton Embassy Suites for 2 nights in Waikiki for our April trip. Totally on points, no fees.
Royal Hawaiian is $800 a night since we need two rooms or a suite. I am so tempted to book it bc I’m lazy and want to be right on the water.
However, even after all the credits I’ll still need like $1500 for 2 nights.
Plus it changes my touring style those two days.
Don’t do Diane, don’t do it!

Do we know if those offers stack? I certainly hope so, but asking just in case. I feel like with Amex they go out of their way to mess with us. I don't even need it for anything, but considering just doing a weekend getaway if I can get $350 off.

They do stack, at least they did last year when P2 had a targeted $200 travel credit on his Plat and I added the $150 Amex offer to that card.

Thanks for the DP. I'm seriously thinking about a splurge weekend getaway if I can use them together. It would help me with an MSR, too!

Not the Plat but still Amex: the Marriott offers have repeatedly stacked with my Brilliant credit. Just recently $50 off $250 stacked in August September along with my $300 credit.

I have no personal experience but it seems like they would
