I love credit cards so much!

[gottalovepluto]

how do you see that? my one purchase is still pending and I'd like to check for the points.... did you hear if the CSP works too?

Haven't heard on CSP. The UR points show under the UR portal under activity so I call them "pending" because the points won't be available to me until the statement closes. The actual charge on my CSR has already posted. UR point breakdown under activity doesn't show until the charge posts. Sorry for my confusing terminology!

Thanks for the plane pics! Love the TUMI amenity kit FWIW, at least you were in lie flat seats...apparently with the increase in DL transcontinental lie flat routes they are taking away the JFK-KEF lie flat planes...when I read about it this week all I could think of was "whew, great timing calypso." https://thepointsguy.com/2017/11/delta-removing-biz-class-europe/

It doesn't look like there are lie flat out of MSP or JFK so rats, just rats.

You’re welcome! It was a cool amenity kit. Yeah, I saw that and said the same thing. Now we’d like to go back in 2 years but if lie flat Delta isn’t an option direct to KEF I will need to find another route. Sadly, Icelandic Air doesn’t have lie flat seats in their Saga class. Looks like we will have to connect in LON or CPH. Sigh, back to the drawing board. I hate starting from scratch again. Grrrr ... Maybe I can convince DH to do an angle flat. Seatguru, here I come!

Love my iPad Pro! Which store was offering 13 UR? May do some shopping during the layover at JFK. Sorry I wasn’t able to get hotel pics this morning as I was running late. Here are some plane pics from Delta first class and the Tumi amenity kit you get. It isn’t as spacious as the BA first or AA first flights we’ve done but it was the only reasonable lie flat option to Iceland. That is my foot with my leg extended somewhat and I am 5 feet tall to give you a rough idea of the space. The plane is a boeing 757-200 75S

pictures look great! Although i thought delta one was in a 1-2-1 configuration... As for 13UR, i did 5x Ink+ and shop through chase which gives u 8x. YMMV though on shop through chase, im not sure if ill get it, but as things should go, 13x!

Walmart chase pay 10x deal..... If I have 4 cards that are linked thru Chase pay and each would qualify for this deal, can I use each card in a separate $325 transaction,and get the 10x points? or is it only once thru that app to pay ?

I'm so confused! Been scouring reddit and it seems like there's different viewpoints on this..... anyone know if the CSP works for this? I hear it does, but again want to be sure!

from the last time, its up to $325. all Freedom/Sapphire line card would get their own amount of $325. You can making multiple purchases too.

I currently have the Amex Everday Card. I have not used the rewards in quite some time but recently transferred some to JetBlue to book a flight for my son. So now I am looking for more ways to earn JetBlue points.
If I apply for the Amex Blue Cash Perferred is that only cash back rewards? Will I earn reward points that I can transfer to JetBlue if I want?

Apply for JetBlue Mastercard with annual fee. 60,000 TrueBlue points for $1,000 spend.

Cancelled my AMEX personal Platinum card after calling 3 times over the past couple of weeks for a decent retention offer. Admittedly I didn’t put much spend on the card because I’m always working on spend for other cards. Prior to canceling I booked my final FHR booking at the Delano in Vegas. Rate was $111 a night with a $160 resort credit. Also took advantage of the JetBlue transfer bonus and transferred all my MR to JetBlue.

Was a bit sad to cancel but the CSR works so much better for my family. AMEX transfer partners aren’t that great and the ones I do transfer to incur a fee. Not so with Chase. Even the centurion lounge is not free for my family of 4. I really couldn’t justify the $550 annual fee so had to cancel.

Just saw a DP on Reddit that CSP got 10x at BestBuy!
ETA: and another DP says CSP worked at Walmart!

I can confirm that I received 10% UR on Walmart purchases for both my Chase Sapphire Reserve and Chase Freedom despite being on the same Chase Pay account. (Both cards have the points pending.)

Yes. I know about the Jet Blue cards. I just think 6% on groceries and 3% is great. But I currently need to focus on airline points and not cash back. Thank you.

Then you don't want the Amex Blue Cash Preferred you asked about. For Amex, if it has "Cash" in the name then it's a cash back card, no points/miles.
When I looked up the suggested JetBlue Mastercards (offered through Barclay) they do TrueBlue points. If you wanted more generic airline points options from Amex then you'd need to look at the cards that earn MR points.

I have something I need to decide by 11/30. I fly United occasionally, but not often. I've got a targeted offer for a 30% bonus when transferring hotel points to United miles by 11/30/17. I could transfer 37,333 SPG points to 11,200 Marriott points, then transfer to 65,000 United Miles.

I think I'm going to skip this offer, but thought I'd ask this community for advice.

My WM charges are all still pending...except a $140 charge from 11/22 which has gone missing

Get the card for sign up bonus, then sock drawer it. Any card that earns MR can be transferred to JetBlue.

Is there a Marriott Rewards question of the day today, like there was last Sunday?

Nope. They said it will be back next week.

Thank you. I have the Amex Everyday card now and used those points to transfer to JetBlue. I will keep earning on that one for now and eventually get the JetBlue Card(s).

Thank you - that is what I plan to do, eventually. Want to wait a bit.

I know there are other places to ask, but everyone here is helpful & not rude. I have WDW tickets from UT. If I link them to MDE, what happens if I cancel my trip? Can the tix just "hang" in the system?

Yes they will stay in your MDE until you use them. This is a nice option because they can't get lost. However once you link them you can't remove them from your MDE. If you happen to have current tickets linked I would suggest putting them in under your middle name so they don't get used before your current ticket. You can later reassign them to yourself. Before the last price increase I purchased 2 sets (8 tickets) for future years to use after our annual passes run out. I will later reassign them to the 4 of us that go and upgrade to annual passes.

Chase gave me points x2 for my two cancelled BF Kohl’s orders (Apple Watch). I’m assuming they’ll be clawed back but I’d love to keep an extra 2,800 UR points

They'll claw back- and watch the claw back! I once had them claw back as if the purchase had received 3x when it had only received 1x.
