IM SORRY, AM I READING THAT I CANT BOOK DISNEY WITH URS ANYMORE.

 

[Lain]

Yup, just called and they can’t book Disney as of yesterday! WTH I am so mad!

Did you ask if this is a permanent change or temporary?

right, we knew it!!

Expedia sells Disney rooms and tickets so why could we not use URs for those but yet use for the rest of Expedia’s offerings. That makes no sense!

I think I'm too tired to be mad today, I'm equally parts and sick to my stomach for all you planning on using URs for Disney. They could at least enable purchasing of Disney tickets on the UR portal if they're getting so cozy with Expedia!

Alas I will also say that at least anyone looking at this redemption will still get at minimum a $0.01 value out of their URs. Redeeming for cash sucks compared to $0.015 but it is a legit option if you were absolutely counting on using that money. I know you'll have to supplement it with a healthy chunk of change but you aren't out more than the base rate of $0.01/UR.

I did and she said she thinks it’s permanent. I had her fill out a thing saying I was unhappy with the changes.

You exercised amazing restraint if the word you used was indeed "unhappy"!

The tinfoil hat is not necessary. With this many changes this quickly yes, they have a RAT. Someone there finally figured out Reddit was a thing.

Wow, is Chase trying to get a large number of Disney-loving cardholders to downgrade or cancel their CSRs, CSPs, and CIPs? If they can’t redeem URs at 1.25 or 1.5 cpp towards their Disney vacations, and the best they can do is a cash deposit or credit statement of 1 cpp, a lot of people will have a hard time justifying the AFs.

This will be me. I was absolutely counting on using URs for my 2019 Disney trip. I have no other money saved for this trip, other than Disney GCs I’ve been planning to purchase between now and then. I’m just going to have to cash out.

This is going to change my plans some and I’ll have to reevaluate. I was planning to get DH the CSR next month, but with no need for the 1.5 redemption now and no double dip available, maybe I should just refer him from my CSP and then we’ll have another $600 to cash out and I don’t need to pay a $450 AF. Obviously I know there’s the $300 travel credit, but that was a distant second to the 1.5 redemption value.

None at all? The resorts were showing up on the ur portal thru cf.

I wonder if they will just keep the Disney hotels on the CF portal and not roll them out to the CSR/CSP/CIP portals so people are stuck redeeming for 1 cpp.

I was planning on keeping a CSR for the 1.5 redemption too, but it’s gone if this doesn’t change. I’ll keep two CIPs to MS because it’s easy and cash out I guess. This really just better be temporary. Any other ideas for free Disney vacations? I was pretty much paying for everything with points, tickets, dining plan, and hotel.

 

[wendow]

This doesn’t make sense and I don’t get it. Why would chase care if we redeem our URs for a Disney hotel or a Marriott or a holiday inn?? What’s it to them?

Idk I just called the cruise and tours department asking to book a package through Disney.

Why keep Two CIPs to MS? Just curious.

A card with a good cash back reward? Use the cash back for vacation expenses you can't use points for. I used my Discover IT cash back to buy disney GC from target with my red card (5% discount). Then used the Disney GCs for our meals.

I think I can hit the $150,000 max for the 3x UR.

I’m thinking I’ll just go ahead and hit Chase for all they’re worth. Refer DH to CSP at the beginning of October. Cancel my CSP. I’m thinking I might just apply for the CIU or CFU in November so I can get an extra bonus. I’m not worried about burning bridges with them since DH will have his cards and as long as we can keep his open, I don’t really care.

If I decide at a later date I want CSR for redemption value for future trips, I can just upgrade DH’s CSP next October.

Expedia doesn’t sell Disney packages, right, so maybe that is why. I don’t get tickets or just rooms if that is true.

Can the title of our new thread be, I hate Chase so much!
