I love credit cards so much!

This one works like an eraser. You have to have a $100+ travel charge post and have 10,000+ points and then you can just erase the charge (ie statement credit).

Hmmnn, so could work for DVC rental or other discounted rooms through a TA or direct, but not if paying with discounted Dis GC. I will have to ponder this.
You think it is worth a 5/24 spot?

Ha, if only that was his Christmas gift. DH promised it for getting an "A" in ELA but I don't know what will happen now since he ended up with a "B." I do have some iTunes GCs put aside for his stocking. I might just re-wrap some of his unopened Lego sets so there are gifts under the tree

Oh wow! My kids get $5 for each A, $1 for each B, and have to pay me $5 for any Cs. Guess I am a cheapskate. I won't tell them about your son's iPad deal.

@disneymagicgirl Did you get the Vineyard Vines email for 25% off with free shipping? Ugh, now to restrain myself!

Yes. I may or may not have spent $400 over 2 transactions.

I bought all sale items, plus the additional 25%, plus 4% ebates, and 2 deals of the $30/$150 amex. Seemed like a good time to stock up.

 

[disneymagicgirl]

why do u have 4 SW cards in the family? haha.
Id do the CSR/CSP double dip for DH while u still can. 8k minimum spends though.

We do the same. 2 Cps for 6 people is awesome.

I’m finally seeing the Chase offers in my app this morning too. Most interesting is 10% off Starbucks up to $3.00 (that part isn’t so interesting, lol). Funny that I had 10% off SB on my United Club card and 5% off SB on my CSR...Guess they want me to use that Club card.

there was a 15% off Starbucks Amex Offer last night. Would check your Amex cards for that!
seems like Lowes and Office Depot @ 10% is worth doing... Couldnt add biz cards, would be a nice stacking with Office Depot and ink card.

It's not that far from the bridge and there is a Target that was walkable closer to 17, right behind it. It's the road that takes you to a beach.

The bride's family lived in Awendaw and had the wedding on their property. Beautiful!

oh, yes, off the IOP connector. Thats the opposite end of Mt P where we want to move back to, so we stay at the end where we are concentrating the house search. I will keep it in mind for temp housing during a move though! Love Homewoods for the space/kitchen for longer trips.

@Albort Chase offers are on my account today.

Me 3! (or 4 or 5 by now ) Since you both got it I thought I'd try and yep!

On my CSP I have like 7 offers but my CSR has 14, on both I have a 10% back at Lowe's but the Starbucks offer is 10% back on the CSP and only 5% on the CSR. So folks should double check the cards to make sure you're using the right offer you want.

I've run the math a bunch of times on the Black Friday deals, after we decided we would just go with a 5qt artisan/tilt head Kitchenaid mixer, and I think Kohl's is the winner. The Kohl's cash just pushes them way past anyone else. Macy's does have a model on sale for $220, which would be $215 OOP after adding taxes but subtracting $15 for a Kroger GC coupon. And I could get $30 from RMN and ~$25 in gas savings buying GCs at Kroger for the whole purchase price. The Kohl's deal would be $240 OOP with taxes but subtracting $10 for a Kroger GC coupon. Then I'd get $20 cashback, ~$19 in gas savings, $60 in Kohl's cash and a $10 reward from Kohl's rewards program. So spending $25 more OOP but getting $54 more in rewards - yes it's mainly locked down at Kohl's, but we could put it towards other houseware things, like some new utensils or oven mitts. Then I'd feel like instead of spending $215 on a mixer, I spent $240 on a mixer AND other kitchen things - it's all about perception, right?

Kohl's does sound better, however, are there any sales with the mixer that involve using your Kohl's credit card? I know sometimes things are 30% off, but only if you charge it to a Kohl's card. Just want to make sure that's not an issue before you purchase all of your gift cards.

Question for Sam's Club shoppers - can you cancel Sam's Club GC purchases? Not being a regular Sam's shopper I thought nothing of ordering a bunch of Sam's GC's for b-day gifts when I was buying online for the 11/10 sale. I stupidly put both purchases on the same order. The restaurant GC's shipped and have arrived, but the Sam's ones are still in "recently placed order" status for delivery between 11/14 and 11/20 - I'm having doubts I'll be receiving them by tomorrow. I need the Sam's GCs for Friday so I'd love to just cancel these and go in store to pick them up instead. I have a "return item" option but not sure if that works to cancel it?

While I'd love free GC's, realistically I'd just like the charge to finally post to my Discover card, where the only reason I'm buying them instead of WM GC's is the warehouse category to finish off my first year double cashback. This is crazy.

There is usually a little button that says cancel order. I have done that when using the wrong card. Not sure how quickly it has to be done, and not sure if would work for a GC purchase.

Is anyone willing to help me find some good plane tickets for Dh and I to get to and from LAX in may/June?

I usually set an alert on the hopper app, airhint site, and do daily searches through kayak or google flights.

Oh, yes, now that you say that, I do have "Cancel This Order" but have been afraid to click it since I only want to cancel part of the order. I can cancel a partial order that way? I don't want to screw up the discounted restaurant gift cards I've already received. I may have to call but was trying to avoid it for the same reason, I don't always get competent reps when I phone in.

Chase offers showed up today for me too!
I added a bunch, but I don't see them anymore after I added them. Is there somewhere to see what ones you've added? I added them so fast I don't remember most of them. Not seeing a spot like on Amex for offers added, just used & expired.

 

[miztressuz]

Now that I have the Chase Offers in my app, scrolling through all the cards to see what differences pop up. Getting mixed results here -
My IHG card shows the section but tells me to use the card and offers will show up... gentle chiding that it's been about a year since I used it (other than paying the AF) have to remember to pull it out on the next grocery trip to put a little spend on it. So I figured if you don't have the section it's just because it hasn't been rolled out, not that there's no offers.
But my Disney card doesn't have the section at all. Is that the same for anyone else?
In a twist my CLOSED SW card has the section with 1 offer in it - the 10% off Lowe's one. They'll also let me refer friends to this closed card... keep wondering if they'll actually give me points if someone is a approved for it even though the card's closed. Don't know what's going on with that.
My CF has the most offers of all of them, maybe because oddly enough it's still the card that has the most transactions on it. The offers are necessarily any better but there were the most options.

This is a very good point! I did check for that though. I had run all of my numbers and then had that thought, so went back to check again!

My SW card also lectured me.. similar situation No offers on Disney one.

The one's you've added just get moved to the bottom of the list, you'll see a tiny green checkmark with "Added" at the bottom of the offer tile for the ones you've clicked on.

Must be something screwy with my account then as when I add one it disappears from the list.

My SW is the same which is funny since I am working on my MSR right now and putting all my spend on it! My Disney has nothing, but I have a separate login for it so wasn't sure if that account just hadn't gotten them yet.

For those that asked about discounts on Disney GCs, in the Disney GC thread it was posted today that BJs has 20% off the $25.00 cards and 8% off the $50.00 cards. I bought a bunch of the $25.00 since 10% off is a good deal for me (I used to be content with 5% off at Target!).

Maybe try a log out and then back in. There's no where else to check, there isn't another section like AmEx. I'd rather they have an Added offers section instead of "expired" offers; haven't figured out the point of that yet, just to rub salt into the wound for missing one? Always thought it was just another backwards BoA thing but apparently it's a goofy Cardlytics thing (the backend for both programs).
