I love credit cards so much! v7.0 - 2025 (see first page for add'l details)

Question about President Circle Status. I have it on my account through Venture X but on my latest car rental, I went to the counter and was only given choices in the Gold member area. Has anyone had this experience before?
I just used it yesterday. I had a hard time actually getting it to show up on my account, even after filling out the form and then saying I matched to it, twice. Is your account showing President's Circle membership in the app? I had to email hertzstatusmatch@hertz all my info before it finally showed up. Then I had no issue with my reservation showing up on the board at the airport as President's Circle yesterday.
 
We also bought the last 2 remaining tickets to The Play That Goes Wrong on the West End. We not not seated anywhere near each other as one ticket was in the Stalls and the other in Dress Circle. Had a blast and laughed the whole time.
I saw "Peter Pan Goes Wrong" (from the creators of "The Play That Goes Wrong") on Broadway. So funny! I loved it. I popped in to say that you will have a great time at the show, then I re-read your post and realized that you already saw it.

I have Five Star through my Delta Platinum and had no issues when I used it in January at MCO. Went out to the lot like always and on the board instead of Gold it said PC.
 
Just reading that a wildfire has destroyed the Grand Canyon Lodge and surrounding cabins in Arizona. I had recently read @CyndiLouWho 's posts regarding her trip and half remembered that she stayed in a cabin, possibly near this lodge. Absolutely not sure about that as I'm not familiar enough with the area.

At any rate it's a big loss and no longer there for future visitors. I'm always sad when something iconic disappears.
Cyndi was in Yellowstone not the GC. It was the lodge and visitor center of the North Rim of the GC that was destroyed by fire. The vast majority of visitors to the GC visit the South rim as it is more accessible.

I was talking to my husband about this last night I haven’t been to the north rim and now won’t have the chance to see this iconic lodge. I make a point to visit all the great lodges in the parks I visit. They can be as amazing as the nature sights.

For any other park lovers, Black Canyon of the Gunnison is closed currently due to wildfires as well. 😢
 

I have an odd question, we are flying out of JFK to Barcelona in Nov on KLM in business. I'm going to book CLE-JFK also with points on Flying Blue, however I was just going to book economy for the 75 min. flight. I'm guessing we'll have to pay for checked bags for that first leg? I was going to wait until we got to the airport in CLE so they could hopefully check them all the way through and maybe not charge us. I know I should have done it all on one booking, but we weren't quite sure what our plans were when I made the initial booking out of JFK.

Oh wow, we were just at Black Canyon of the Gunnison in November last year, so that's sad to hear. Very underrated park but we all enjoyed it. We did Mesa Verde as well and that was really a standout favorite for me! I loved it more than expected, for anyone on the fence about visiting that NP!

It does say President Circle on the app. I am wondering if you book with 3rd party sites if that affects things. I just thought it was weird. I still got a car that I liked, but glad I did not pick compact car on the app. I am booking another car for a couple weeks away and so I will see what that does

Thank you! I started to track down her posts and ran out of time. Glad you corrected it.

That could very well be the issue. What 3rd party did you book through? Did you prepay through the 3rd party? And did you put your GoldPlus number in when you made the 3rd party booking?
The requirements for using the GoldCanopy service are that you book a midsize or higher, paying Hertz at pickup and having your GoldPlus number associated.

This is so sad! We are supposed to go the Grand Canyon next week. We're staying at the South rim. I had looked at visiting the North rim too, but decided it was a little too far of a drive for this shorter trip.

I really liked Mesa Verde as well. My daughter and I did a road trip Denver to Moab (Arches, Canyonlands, Dead Horse SP), Monument Valley, Mesa verde and Black Canyon. Return to Denver. Very fun 2 weeks.

I was booking through Capitalone Travel and I may not have put my gold rewards number. I did see that for my upcoming reservation and will keep an eye on it. I also booked a full size car for my upcoming trip. Fingers crossed
 
so I had a credit balance for awhile on an IHG cc, I got an email saying they were crediting me back the amount and click on box in email to claim...naturally I didn't click on it, when I look at acct page separately it says 'credit balance refund'..... Anyone heard of this before? Do I need to do anything else here,or will they send me a check?

A couple of other limiting factors are - booking the “managers choice” won’t give you PC options onsite, and also some smaller airports (for example, Birmingham, AL) don’t have a PC section.

I've had this a few times, and had the same hesitation about clicking. If you're happy with a paper check then you can ignore it. After a certain number of days from the email they'll automatically mail it. I tried calling once when I had a credit and just wanted it to go into my Chase checking and they couldn't do it over the phone. They said they'd have to send an email with the link to click, and then follow prompts. I did it that time because I was certain the email was legit.

Ok thanks- I will click thru but wanted to make sure it wasn't a really good fake lol
 
For anyone that values Skymiles, I was able to confirm using the Delta Platinum card as my WDW hotel card for Magic Band purchases resulted in 3X points for all our Disney trip purchases. Since we fly from a Delta hub several times a year, that card is a huge benefit for us just for the other perks.

No. On the Delta Platinum, the 3X Miles on purchases made directly with hotels is a permanent benefit. The Delta Reserve does NOT have that multiplier.

On a related note - while I have no experience with the card, I saw the CSR has a 4X multiplier for direct hotel purchases, so perhaps it works as well.
