I love credit cards so much! v5.0 - 2022 (see first page for add'l details)

I know it'll notify me of a message but I've never had it take this long to get even the 1st response on amex chat. Using the app. Know their stuff has been bad the past week or so but I expect it before 10 min like normal. Maybe by the end of the week it'll be resolved just want my resort credit.

Eta and now almost 30 min later the chat box is gone so I guess that's the end of that.

Thanks for this....I was on 13 minutes waiting so far....and will just give up.

I just want my free 30k points for a pay over time email I got last week that won't activate from clicking from the email!

Has anyone heard what kind of problem they are having? I had to log in and out a few times between my biz and personal accounts to get my info to show. Hope they weren't hacked and not talking....

Amex is a nightmare right now. In addition to the login problems, my statement closed 3 days ago and the MRs haven't posted yet - usually post within 24hrs. I have not received my Audible credit from a charge on 3/15 - that usually happens automatically within 3 days, and 2 Amex offers which I used 9 days ago have yet to credit. Amex is great when things work as they should, but horrible to deal with when they don't.

I'm on day 15 since booking a FHR using my Platinum card and no $200 credit in sight. They drive me nuts when they are inconsistent.

No but it's been all over r/churing and amex. No explanations though

Part of why I like doing it on the app vs computer. I'll get a push notification when they respond. Click on it and it reopens the app.

Also some on reddit got this offer as well but when they went to do it was only for 20k so seems there was an issue. Didn't see outcome of anyone contacting them.

Been that way for lots of people. I did see some have started getting credits for things but it's been an issue since mid March for pretry much everything. Pretty sure my resort credit is stuck there too.

On 4/14 I'll have to PC my Amex biz plat if I don't receive a full SC for the AF, which is unlikely at this point. I used the airline credits at the end of March and like so many others, the credit hasn't posted yet. If it doesn't post before I PC, does anyone have experience on if it will be honored, since it was a valid benefit of the card on the day it posted?

ETA: Disregard, my credits have posted! Whatever they were doing to their website today must have worked and triggered a lot of these delayed credits!

FYI….Southwest is starting to change some June flights…noticed the week of 6/6 right now

 

[Sheree]

got the dreaded SW flight change email. June non stop to Nashville is no more. ugh from PHL. very frustrating, layover in Chicago. and leaves 4 hours earlier!
hoping they don't change return but not getting my hopes up


I just cancelled my SW cards, with the elimination of so many non stops just not worth it. even with my CP

sheree

An FYI….Southwest is starting to change some June flights…noticed the week of 6/6 right now

My 6/8 flight to Maui was changed. For once it was in my favor. I was able to change to an earlier arrival time, one stop instead of two plus saved over 3k in points
Now to see if my return flight on 6/18 gets changed. Right now it’s almost double the points I booked at lol

Ok, DS wants to go to London. I can make it happen at the end of June/early July. Hotel suggestions? I have plenty of Hilton FNCs and Hyatt points. Suggestions?

Amex credits which have been delayed appear to be posting according to reddit. Fingers crossed for all of you who have been waiting.

I had a hard time using points or FNC. Hard to book rooms for more than 2 people plus no points nights available.

Back from London. Generally had a great time, with a few snafus. Got to see a great football (soccer) game from the 2nd row with our team winning 5-1! On the downside, DH now + for COVID.
We booked most of our activities thru Chase portal including our airport transfer. The driver no-showed and we are supposed to be refunded. Anyone know how to get those points back from Chase?

It was excellent! Purchased tix thru a travel agency (Sold out game, couldn't get 3 seats together through the club) which gave us access to free food and non alcoholic beverages pre game. 2nd row, center line.

What a fun activity for your son! I'm sorry your husband is + now but I'm so glad you went and had a great time. The only thing one of my sons requested on our Germany trip was to visit the Bayern stadium in Munich which we did. It was great and I loved the building but he would have loved to have seen a game.

She did have an excel sheet with every card she ever had, when it opened, if she closed it, and points redeemed. I don't think anyone has gone through her computer yet. My dad was under the impression her cards were automatically closed when the death certificate was issued. Does anyone know if this is the case and what would happen to her points? We had all of her reservations from the vacation we had planned last month canceled and refunded so she should at least have those points.

My father was an authorized user on many of her accounts; would that help? Or a history of transferring points? I have transferred points with her before.

Thank you! It has just been a hobby the last few years, but I am planning to return to school to study health communications and education and I would use professional writing in that sphere.

I'm very sorry to hear about your mom. A love for travel is a great legacy to have left you. Definitely try and transfer her miles and points - she earned them and I'm sure she would love it if someone used them. I'm trying to do that with my dad's Cap1 points right now. Cards were not automatically closed.

We had a great time. The stadium itself is beautiful as it opened in 2019. DS missed a day of school as we returned Monday after the game Sunday and I’m sure DS thinks it was worth it. Lol. We also did the Harry Potter Studio tour, the Churchill War rooms and Thames boat ride.

My March credits have not posted and usually do within 1-2 days. Used chat last week and no response after 45 minutes so left. Went back on today to try chat and had answer to the chat last week already posted , said give it 2-4 weeks.

How were the war rooms?

We watched the game! How exciting, we're a Tottenham family. I'd love to go to a game there!

Thanks so much for posting this! I tried it on Saturday, and got instant approval! Had my new Amex card delivered on Monday (picked a rose gold), and did my first grocery spend this morning to make sure it worked! I'm now an official collector of MR points!

I was also approved tonight.

Thanks for posting

Not the person who you were asking, but I toured the war rooms a few years ago and they were fascinating (my young adult kid also thought so)--well worth the time.

I had a hard time using points or FNC. Hard to book rooms for more than 2 people plus no points nights available.

So glad you have a great visit! Which hotel did you stay at? I did see if I changed it to 2, standard rooms were abailable.
