I love credit cards so much!

I have a friend that comes with me to Disney. She has motion sickness to the point that she is unable to sit in the bak seat of a vehicle. She has had remarkable success with something called motioneaze. This must be some kind of essential oil. She rubs a drop across her forehead and behind each ear about 30 min before a ride. She has been able to ride all the roller coasters with this.
This has been wonderful for her as she is bringing each of her grandchildren for their Disney trip. She gets this at Walmart.

Ooh, I'll have to look for this. Sounds like it's worth trying. I cannot ride in the back seat either

Good to hear. I took Bonine for a snorkel cruise in Maui and I was sooooo sick the whole time. It just doesn't do much for me. Hoping the patch does. I've used it before, but not in rough seas.

Lol, I threw up on a snorkel cruise in Maui! Same thing. I was so sick the entire time.

I applied for the Barclay AAdvantage Aviator Card for both DH and I. Both got emails saying under review. I received my letter today (no letter for DH Yet). They just want verification. ID, SS card and Bank Statement. Do we really need to mail this info in. Is there no way to email or fax this? Really don't want all that info going through the mail if possible..

Before I get off topic, anyone get any good AMEX deals lately? I'm not seeing much for the past few days and I am wondering if it's AMEX or just me not getting targeted.

We looked into this for our upcoming cruise but couldn't find any science behind any of it, so DD and DH passed. I plan on using the patch.

I can't either. Ever. Ugh. Even with town car/limo trips to the airport I politely have to ask them to put their stuff in the trunk so I can sit in the front.

Yikes. I was sick but kept it in, which was tough. I told DH to take care of our DD who was young and very adventurous, and kept having to push my DM away when she kept telling me to eat something and that might make me feel better. She said I actually looked green. Never again. And this was with taking Bonine both the night before and the day of. DD and DH did the amazing night snorkel with manta rays trip in Kona a few years ago and I passed. When they came back they said I had made the right decision.

I made the mistake of eating...never again for me either...

I haven't noticed much, but that's all going to depend on buying habits. Also, I really do think there's a 100 offer limit to show on the site. There's hasn't been much I'm interested in so I've been at 90+ offers on my one card, if I get to 100 I add some expiring offers to the card and then logout/login and sometimes I can see a new one. Like I'm pretty sure I got another Hello Fresh offer today after I did that. There's two I'm seeing, one for Hello Fresh itself and then another for Hello Fresh Wine (OT, but OMG AmEx, how much wine can one really buy?!?! At least a quarter of my offers are wine.. and then I have 11 "featured" offers from AmEx taking up space. I really don't need to know about the ShopRunner benefit I've had for probably 6 years now, every single time I look at offers. grr). I only had 1 HelloFresh before, pretty sure, but after I did the "trick" there's 2 now. And I really have to pay more attention, but I'm pretty sure I got it down to 95 but when I logged in again I had 96.

Yes, unfortunately there is no way to email or fax. I called twice to try to see if that was an option and they wouldn't let me so I finally mailed it. I mailed mine just regular mail and had no problems. So long as your identity matches, you will be approved for the card. I'm getting ready to do the same thing for DH. Just make sure you copy the front AND back of your cards. Yes, even the back of the social security card that doesn't say anything except for where to mail a found card to.

The snorkeling in Maui got me too but it wasn't the boat. The water wasn't calm but not totally rough but bobbing around in the water was what made me queasy not the actual boat ride. Goes along with the whole up and down thing being my issue. Though some of the 3d simulators get me but that's because my brain isn't putting them together well enough.

And ugh starbucks I mobile ordered and am still having to wait for all the people that ordered in store after I ordered and got here. What's the point of skipping the line.

I've had some serious first world problems with Starbucks lately. Namely that I bought a venti iced mocha from the Hilton Anaheim Starbucks last week and they didn't put any coffee in it at all. So I paid $6 for an iced chocolate milk...

 

[amalone1013]

Seems I could get Pop for $101 for our one night in September. Right now I have All Star Movies through Hotels.com using our $109 free night and $44 in discounted gift cards. I could pay for Pop with discounted Disney gift cards. Move free night and Hotels.com gift card to other RPR night... Or use free night towards Cabana Bay instead of Hilton the first night. I almost feel like I should 'pay OOP' on the RPR nights and not use my free night there, because they're so much they'll lend a good chunk towards my next free night.

That's awful. I only ever get got chocolate but it was over 10 min from the time I ordered. She was too busy talking and making the drinks for the regulars that I couldn't say anything. She tried to play it like it just came in but it had been sitting on the printer for a few min by then.

My last starbucks order they did give me coffee. (is there no throw up emoji on here?) I HATE coffee. The lady looked at me like I was crazy when I said you gave me coffee in my Chai. She kept insisting it was just Chai. No lady, I can taste the tiniest amount of coffee and this was not even tiny. ICK She finally took it from me and dumped it out and was going to use the same cup, which I was about to protest and she smelled the cup and threw it out and made me a new one.

I tried to book party tickets today through Chase Cruise and Tours and I couldn’t get them with the AP discount only full price. I think it’s def not worth going now.

 

[wendow]

Anyone else remember the announcement that SW would be holding events around the country to celebrate the launch of their new Priority card? There was a link you could sign up through to be notified about the event. DoC had the list of cities and dates and Denver was listed as Aug 9 from 3-9. I put it on my calendar thinking maybe we'd try to go but I've not received any info about it, and there is nothing on SW's site. Anyone else remember this, or has anyone heard anything?

ETA: https://www.southwestprioritycard.com/ Found the original link. We live pretty close so maybe we will go.

ETA2: The venue they are supposed to be at has a concert at 7pm. So confused.

Maybe that’s a sign.

My suntrust bonus posted. Yay!

Too bad it is once per household or I’d be doing it for DH next.

Guess it is time to head to doc’s Page and figure out my next bonus.

I was thinking about it, I kind of forgot!

 

[DisneyMandC]

Oh, I just realized my extra 20,000 UR posted to my CIP!! This was the bonus from small business week that Chase agreed to give me even though I couldn't apply in branch as I didn't have one in state!

 

[wendow]

I only even remembered because I had actually put it on the calendar. I added to my earlier post that RR shows a concert that same evening at 7pm. And it's not free...so is SW just setting up a little tent outside the gates?

Booo... I don't think I'd want to fight concert traffic for a little tent.
