I just bought my parking and didn't use the CIP, for some reason it didn't even dawn on me that it could code as travel. Thanks! I will use it for our long trip in August,
As someone who has Allegiant as an option for flights I would say to look at the value of multiple flight options before deciding which is better. For instance Allegiant might get you to WDW at 6pm and a flight on a major carrier might get you there before noon, same for coming home, a major carrier with many more daily flights can get you more time at WDW. Also there the pesky baggage and seat selection fees w/ Allegiant. And getting from Sanford tends to be more expensive than from MCO if Sanford is where you have to fly in to. So I would check what the flight costs are and it might end up being close to a wash between Allegiant and a major carrier w/ points.
Thanks for your advice. I've priced out all the airlines close to me and Allegiant wins by a long shot. American is the only other option close and none of the American flights are transferable (not through British air, etc).
Just when I thought I knew so much! Thanks for this
Cash back will go towards your credit card balance and is a good use. If you book anything travel related through Chase Travel, your value goes up 25% so if you were going to get $100. cash back towards your statement balance, you would be getting $125. towards travel IF you book through Chase Travel. That may or may not be worth it. If you have status with airlines or hotels, you won't get your status benefits usually when booking through Chase Travel. Sometimes, they run a special Pay Yourself Back at with the extra 25% for certain charitable donations. I use mine often for that, but I am regularly donating to the charity anyway no matter what the cash back offer is.
What?!!?!? I had no idea! I've looked at that Chase website 1000 times. I'm assuming there's a number listed somewhere I've overlooked?
Update! She called and was approved! She applied for the 100K CSP and originally got the fraud letter but after calling was approved.
We’ve done it a few times when we’ve had a surplus of URs. It can be a pain to book that way. Like @wanderlust7 said, if there is any change or cancellations it can be annoying. I think we’ve been able to make changes ourselves on the allegiant app but it won’t be easy to get a refund if that’s the case. Sometimes when we’ve called Chase the rep has no idea how to book it that way so we’ve had to call again and get someone else. We do fly allegiant a lot though because they’re the only ones that fly nonstop to where our family lives. We just flew allegiant to Knoxville and it was a great flight there and back.
We did this a few years ago during Spring Break. I thought it was pretty good deal for 1.5 CSR considering you can’t transfer points there. 64K for $960 room that gave us Express Pass Unlimited for two days for 4 people. The lowest price they were selling the passes on our trip was $220 each and the other day was $300 each or a little more. Seeing those prices just made the redemption even sweeter.
I believe it is based on your gold anniversary date. You should get the extra $50 immediately giving you a $150 credit when booking at delta.com/stays for hotels. We just use ours for crashing after late night flights where we are moving somewhere else in the am.
Didn’t want to chance a denial if I did it with my support link so no idea if it would have worked or not.
