I guess my new AmEx Plat is not going to used this morning to get a work out this morning for Harry Potter and The Cursed Child since there are only 2000+ users in front of me...

exciting morning for me(it doesn't take much lol) 2 more RMN rebates came thru,which I applied to some new shoes on ebay immediately....so the shoes were free!(technically) also booked my SWA flights for spring.... what happened to the Las Vegas non stops from my area? waah. Oh well I decided to go thru PHX instead b/c it was cheaper,which surprised me. (going to Page,AZ)

You should be moving up...I sat and looked at all of the available seats and...decided I didn't really want to pay that much. So hopefully you'll get my tickets

ETA: I had my queue and the cruise announcement going simultaneously-a lot of excitement for a bit

The other was new Orleans. They made a much better deal out of that. Doesn't excite me at all. But I need a job. Hawaii is gonna be $$$ with only 2 sailings. At least I have plenty of time to buy discounted GC.

Update on the neverending resort saga:

So I slept on it last night...and decided...YACHT CLUB and GRAND FLORIDIAN on the Disney Visa offer is it!

Contacted the agent this morning to make the change...Trouble Point - the refunds from the deposits made on my Disney Rewards Redemption cards could take 7-10 days to process. I don't have enough money left on the redemption cards to make new deposits...

So I asked the TA if we could make the deposit on my Disney Visa and then REFUND the Disney Visa and make a payment on the Rewards Redemption cards in a week. I think this is possible with Disney. Of course the TA is questioning the need to do that - "why not just leave the payment on the Disney Visa?" she says...

So I then had to explain to her that 1-2% is not acceptable to me, lol. I'm expecting to generate an 18-30% return on purchasing Disney GCs and using the right CC. Now I'm waiting to see if she's able to book this all...And the reason I'm going through her is I can get a $50 Disney GC for booking the package (and I don't want to walk away from the TA because she has done some work here)...
At any rate.........WHY CHASE...THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!!!!!!! YOU AND YOUR STUPID URs CHANGE HAVE ME DOING ALL THIS STUPID CRAP NOW!!!!! Sorry...I'm somewhat frustrated right now, lol!

Hit the RMN offers last night with Staples, HD, CVS, & Walgreens. Did two purchases or swipes at each...quick $80. All flagged before I even had my receipt printed.

I have done the Staples RMN 4 times (2 on mine and 2 on DH's) None of them ever went to pending. Very frustrating.

My RMN from cvs went through today. We went there on 9/23. I’m going back today to get another gift card!

I agree, NOLA doesn't excite me at all BUT it's only a 3 hour drive so tempting there. We have 2 cruises I need to switch around so going to run things by DH tonight.

My RMN from Home Depot came through today!

In other news, I thought I understood all about the placeholders on DCL so I booked one. Now I learn I could have booked one for ABD as well. Total fail on my part. And the new cruises aren't making me happy. I wanted WBPC from FL and stopping in Costa Rica and this one fails on both counts.

I'm glad you found what you wanted! But that's going to take a lot of gift cards.

We usually just pick a resort hotel in Hawaii and stay put. I've never really considered a cruise to/from there before but I can see that tons of people are happy about this one.

In this case the Fidelity triggered the direct deposit requirement. There are banks that send money the same way as a DD so it will automatically trigger the bonus. DoC has a list for what's worked for most banks. Fidelity, and other brokerages, at least is explainable as income
Just putting out an option for you if changing your DD is difficult.


Yes, cruises are the sweet spot I think. That's how agencies can hand out so much OBC, or Costco with their GCs. Plus it's usually on a volume scale, the more business you bring in the higher the cut. Which is why attaching yourself to the right agency is important, and why some agencies specialize in a brand. ( and why some hand out so much better incentives than others)



Yep. Your status will update within a day or so of approval (a couple hours usually) so you'd be Gold in advance of your stay with the biz card. And unless you have a deposit or prepaid rate, you can just switch it when you check in. (Otherwise if you call the hotel they can update it in advance) You get the Gold earning rate in addition to the 12x what's charged to the card.



That had nothing to do with age and all about if you follow the NBA. I had no idea he existed until the commercial. And I keep up with top level stories of scores and I'll remember players if they're talked about enough, he was obviously not discussed enough in my neck of the woods to make a blip But it is funny and I can only imagine how that went over on the court

Thank you! I don’t believe we’ve paid anything on the hotel yet. I think it was one of those where you pay when you get there. We did a park, stay, fly deal since we fly out at 5:30 am.

I’m so frustrated today too. I was playing around looking at AP rates for Saturday night thinking we could just go down for the weekend again. I found carribean beach for $150. I actually hate Caribbean beach but for $150 id tolerate it. SO and I were debating via text whether to go and if it was worth it. We decided to go and it was gone. If chase was doing bookings I would have just booked it. What’s 10,000 URs? if SO didn’t want to go I wouldn’t have even been mad losing that. But now I’m home for the weekend.

Oh man that would burn me up!! I was concerned too that my rooms might dry up before my TA got to it. Luckily we're locked in on a 3 day hold now.

I do genuinely hope they resolve the URs thing...but then I'll probably be mad again lol.

I'm already moving forward with plans to begin amassing large sums of Disney GCs at a discount. If a month from now they figure things out and I'm sitting on $2k in Disney Cards I'll be frustrated all over again!!! HAHA!

I did get it to the purchase queue but can't really find dates that will work with our school schedule that aren't ridiculously priced. $1000 for two tickets! I have two tickets for $704 but it Jan/Feb is tricky for weather and DS would have to miss a day and 1/2 of school and just can't bring myself to do it

Staples seems the worst for hit and miss. It's pending on both our accounts from the last two days, but a couple weeks ago when we went DHs tracked and mine didn't.

Me too! I figure what will happen is I'll apply for a CSP for DH and downgrade mine to a CFU and right around then they'll bring Disney back online for CSR. So I'll let y'all know when I plan to do that so you can all be ready to book through Chase again a couple days afterwards

I just started getting Disney giftcards too. I booked a 2019 trip in December at the Beach Club so I’m hoarding them for that. Most I have been getting at 40% off so I won’t be too mad but I’m also not sitting on 2k.

Since I acquire mine through the fuel program at my grocery store I have to space it out, LOL. We need to acquire $4,700 in Disney GCs which will generate about Six 30-gallon fill-ups. They expire on us after 2-3 months (depending on what part of the month they were earned)...and we only use about 30 gallons a month so that's why I have to space it out, HAHA!!
