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

This is the 2nd trip this year where a change in weather after I'm there has caused me to buy clothes. Ended up having a day with rain in Paris and only suede sneakers so had to buy new.

Currently in Philly, left on the redeye Friday expecting 80s all week. It's barely made 70 and I'm going to the baseball game tonight so I bought new jeans so I won't be cold. I was planning to buy some this trip anyway but still. I have stopped packing the just in case outfits etc, though neither of these situations would I have planned as just in case.
 
Some do it. For me it is not worth the risk and worry over it. Amex claws back points more than other card issuers.

In my experience Staples reports level 3 data to Amex. Buying the gift cards isn’t a problem, but I wouldn’t include it towards the bonus spend.
That's what I was thinking. I'll just use a CIC and get 5x.
 
I just got my car insurance renewal and it's jumping up $1300 for the next 6 mos thanks to the 2 claims my daughter had (1 accident, 1 deer who took out her whole drivers side). So that means I have about $7k in spend coming up in September (between property taxes and insurance alone).

I never look at the bigger spend offers. Is there a great business spend worth trying for? I'm so happy I have my "big girl job". The idea was to take the extra money and try to save it up. Sadly all this extra money is just flying out the door :(.
 
If you want to use the Chase travel portal, you want to get as much over there as you can before 10/26. What's on the card will still redeem at the better of 1.25 or the Chase points boost (when available) for a couple more years. Anything earned or transferred after that date redeems at 1x if there isn't a points boost on the offering.

Of course, if you aren't using that 1.25 as one of your redemption options, who cares :-)
'Dd' (me) got a CSR several weeks ago (the new and not-improved version). 'She' (me) has earned the 100k URs; if I transfer them to my CSR will I be able to redeem them at 1.5? Or will Chase know that they are from her card and restrict value on those points? I'm also wondering how they will know which points I've earned and which have been transferred to my CSR. How good is their IT department?

I read it explicitly includes transferred points, too. It's what you have on there on the cut off date.

Not finding the Chase language in my quick search, but this article does say transfers count: https://frequentmiler.com/chase-tra...-25c-redemptions-replacing-with-points-boost/

But, I thought if you opened the card after the announcement, you had already lost that benefit (or really you never had it to begin with).
 
What is the best way to use Avios to book Qatar's Qsuite? Booking directly through Qatar or using a partner to book?
