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

hi everyone, hoping you can give me some advice on a credit card dilemma my brain is struggling with. I have booked a Tour de Mont Blanc hiking trip with a travel agency for next summer, and put the deposit on my CSR before Oct 26 to get the 3x on travel. My intention was to put the rest on Cap1 Venture and erase with points. Tonight I just realized the charge coded as entertainment So no 3x and won’t be eligible for Cap1, but there’s still time to change my strategy since the rest isn’t due til May-ish. What cards have “points erase” features that would cover entertainment? I don’t think I’m wording my google searches correctly because I’m just getting results about points multipliers.

Not going to help you in a erasing but the saver card from capital one earns 3X on entertainment which you could then later combine with your venture when you go to erase an actual travel charge

For the stubhub credit. Does it need to be all one purchase or can you spend until you get to 150?

I'd love to know this too!

I didn't even think about this! But yes, you can spend until it reaches $150.

I thought 2 tickets for an event to use the credit, and it came out to ~$100. Then later I got an email from Stubhub asking if I'd like to purchase a parking pass for the event. The cost of parking from the convention center is $20 and Stubhub charges $45! But since I have no other use for the remaining $50, I purchased it. I didn't even think it wouldn't credit. I would be pretty upset to pay over double for parking unnecessarily but luckily the charges & credits have already posted.

For those of that have been to Italy, which type of train ticket did you purchase? The base fare or the changeable day/time fare?

If you purchased the changeable one, did you end up changing your ticket time? I need to buy tickets for Rome-->Florence and Florence-->Venice.

We did end up getting changeable tickets, just for our peace of mind. Never had to change any. We also paid to preselect our seats because we were traveling as a family of 6, so it just seemed easier than having to spread out all over.

This was my hope since I'll most likely buy single game tickets for just me but also parking. I have been able to get parking for less before but it was also closer to the game but may have also been on seat geek.

Parking is terrible at our light rail stations, in that I may not be able to get parking and it is almost double the time to use it vs just driving. But the cost of parking for games has gotten insane.

I didn't buy changeable but did end up changing my ticket from Rome to Florence. It was a flexy fare which was 90% refundable.
