It can really be hit or miss who will accept the Visa gift cards online. I have had really good luck with them working at shopDisney. I tried to buy DGC on the Topcashback site and they would not work.

Generally you can't buy a gift card with a gift card. There are a few exceptions.

It's been awhile, but I see (small) Chase offers for Starbucks on several of my cards.

Does anyone know- If I "add funds" via the Starbucks app but use Apple Pay, will it still "count" as having used the card that has the offer on it? Or do I HAVE to "actually" use the card?

$100 software subscription credit posted on USB Triple Cash biz. Since it takes 11 months of consecutive charges, nice to see it in action. 11th charge was last statement and current statement just closed.

I did seats.aero. Nice to get a year of pro for $20 on a no AF card.

If anyone is interested, current SUB is elevated again. $750 for $6000 spend over 180 days.

Thanks for the follow up. I switched my seats.aero to my Triple Cash card (based on your earlier post) so glad to hear it works.

It worked for me but I think the last time I had one of those Starbucks offers was 2 years ago.

I ApplePay every where I can though and have never had an issue with Chase not paying out on those offers.

I hope I did this right. I know I'm close to the end of the month so hopefully the Resy charge posts before October 1st... There are so many good restaurants in the Bay Area I'm shocked. I think there are 5 or 6 within walking distance of me in Oakland area. Anyway, I wasn't able to get a reservation at one of my faves so I walked over and bought a $100 gift card at the restaurant (they use Toast to do it online). I had previously activated Resy in both my Amex Plat (and Gold). I also linked both cards in the app, but I paid with the actual platinum card. I hope that is okay? My sister thought you needed to use the app to pay to get the credit but that didn't sound like what PP here have done or the instructions online. Hope I'm right??

Yeah - you should be good. No need to pay thru the app - not sure its even possible.

Great, thank you! I was wondering the same thing about the app. Didn't seem possible to me either.

Fee free Mastercards should be the week of 10/5 and the Visas should be the next week 10/12, if I have my calculations correct and they stay with the same cadence. Yes, I've tracked these out to get as many UR's over to my CSR by 10/26.

oh yes I had forgotten about all that..... pls remind me, what are the new rules? After 10/26 we can;t combine?

Transferred UR to Flying Blue last night to book an economy flight and it's taking its sweet time to get to my FB account. Last time it was instant.

I do wonder if it's hung up because I had transfered UR to BA a bit earlier to book our NRT to HKG flight. I know there's issue if you do a test transfer before a bigger one to the same program but I've also never transferred from two programs in one day nevermind less than an hour apart.

At least I'm not worried about the seats disappearing and worst case we take a different time.

Points still aren't there. I know they say it can take up to 7 days, but is it worth calling to make sure there's no issue or should I just keep waiting?

And if I call, is it the number on the back of my card or another number? Never called about reward stuff before.

I think we're going to pull the trigger on the Amex Platinum. I calculated that between the streaming credit ($300), the Resy credit ($400), the airline fee credit ($200), Uber Cash ($45/$180, we don't Uber much), and WalMart+ ($132 to get Peacock), I am $182 ahead after paying the $895 fee ... and my DD gets $300 of LuluLemon for free .

Is there a place to enroll that is recommended over another? A shopping portal that will give me more money to apply through them?

No you can continue to combine points across your Chase cards but points earned or transferred after 10/26 will only be worth 1x when redeemed in the travel portal after the 26th instead of the 1.25x for CSP & CIP and 1.5x for the CSR.
