Resy question for those in the know...

I recently ate at a restaurant in SLC and was pleasantly surprised that the cost of the meal got credited back to my Amex (gold, if that matters) under "Resy credit." That's cool and all (no complaints from me!) but when I go to the Resy website and search for SLC restaurants, the place we ate is not on the list.

Is there an accurate list of Resy restaurants somewhere (so that I can make better use of this card in future)?

If there is one, I haven't been able to find it. I had a similar experience at a local place which was great since we really don't have much nearby on the Resy list.

It's a loophole. There's speculation that if a sister restaurant is on Resy it might trigger. A list would need to be crowdsourced (I haven't come across one). Some discussion here.

There is a list I posted here when the Amex credit came out. This sister restaurant list, maybe you can add it to the map if it's not there?

Jetblue.... I feel like their weidsite is wonky...or maybe it's just me. So on a points booking which I canceled, they will only give a credit for taxes(?) is this always the case? And I changed another flight to use less points on a different booking, the website is hard to understand. I looked up the refare price, it was def. less than what I was changing for, yet I got an email saying I used those points from my pool.... what am I missing here?

Has anyone had Chase support points post recently? P2 was approved with my link on 10/1 (before the change to new customers only) and they have yet to post.

Checking to see if any of you have gotten your points from this time frame? It's now 2 months and 1 day, and I have nothing yet. I have pretty much given up now.

I sent an SM yesterday and got an unsatisfying response about how the link needs to be used, they can't share info about approval, and wait at least 8 weeks. I replied back that the link was used, I know it was approved, and it's been more than 8 weeks.

For those that have had to request support points - was there a lot of back and forth?

I am not sure if I should try to argue or not.

Yes, it's an annoying Jetblue thing that they refund taxes on awards as a travel credit.

So with JetBlue you don't get the point difference back? glad i closed the card.

You should get the points difference back. The e-mail @hsmamato2 got about points used, could be the system put the points back and then retook the points. That's my guess anyways, I can't remember if I've ever refared with them.

This tracked for my annual travel insurance, too, which was a nice bonus.

I paid my earthquake authority policy yesterday, and the $20 credit posted today. Fast!

It's ridiculous how much better I feel paying for $200 in worst-case-scenario protection when I get a $20 credit afterwards, but here we are...

Just got the Hilton Aspire, is there any risk of clawback on either the resort credit or airline credit if I make refundable charges and then cancel them?

Yes, I know the official terms and conditions.

I got the resort credit then cancelled and it was not clawed back. FWIW, I didn't plan it or do it on purpose. My plans changed and I fully expected it to get clawed back.

So, I am ready to product change my CSP before Friday (getting on a cruise), in the hopes of applying for the CSR when I get off the ship. I have never had the personal CSR before.

1) I think I need to call and can not do it online?

2) I think I want to product change to the OG Freedom? Is it because it is a Visa and I won't need to change acct #'s and because I won't lose the ability to earn a future SUB on the other Freedom cards that are still available? What exactly do I ask the rep to product change to? Do I ask for the Chase Freedom Visa with UR points?

3) I did not use up the annual $50 hotel credit on the CSP I want to product change yet. I looked around and there is nothing I want to use it organically on right now. I was just going to let it go but I thought I would ask for suggestions here to see if there was a quick and easy way to use up CSR $50 hotel credit before I went ahead and called Chase.

TIA!

This is bizarre to me but maybe if I was better about using card perks in general, it wouldn't be!

Interesting... thank you!

Interesting. Recently was in SLC and was shocked at the lack of restaurants listed for RESY there.

Well if you're ever there again, we went to Sol Agave (very close to the Grand America hotel) and it was really really good (and I say this as someone who lives in Phoenix who has great Mexican food here, too)

it's so strange.... so I got the email that said I used the points, and then another confirmation that I had a new seat etc and instead of points cost at bottom of Reciept it showed like I paid cash for it..... I do not understand!

I asked about my missing points from 10/2, they asked me for the persons name,phone number, zip code and the last4 digits of the card that was approved…
I sent that back and they responded they are forwarding it to the appropriate department and I should hear back in 5 business days…so that would be next week

Yes you need to call since they read you the terms and conditions of the new card.
When I PCd to the OG freedom a few years ago I asked for the Freedom with ultimate rewards, no idea if that’s still what the call it though

You could try booking a refundable hotel, wait for it to credit, then cancel it. In the past, Chase hasn't clawed back. Though they're clawing back the Edit credit now, so I think the change is coming, but it may not be here yet.

It might not credit by Friday though.

Solo flight question/advice please...

Since I am traveling alone to Japan, I am wondering what the best way is to care for my personal items in my seat when I need to use the restroom. (My concern being possible theft while I am gone.)

Anyone have any good tips for me? It's not something I've ever had to think about before!

On our most recent flights last month (JFK>SIN, HND>SFO), no one even appears to notice or budge when someone gets up. I saw plenty of solo travelers just leave their things, without a care in the world. Interestingly, however, JAL did make an announcement about theft of personal belongings, so it does happen of course.
If it were me, I typically take a fanny pack in addition to a backpack on every trip. In my fanny pack, I always keep my most important items: wallet/cash, passport, phone, air pods. Even when I'm traveling with my DH, I typically will wear my fanny pack to the bathroom in the airport, etc. So that's what I'd do, if it were me.
