Would you believe I am 3 for 3 in Error Try Again on the stupid Marriott promo. The first 2 times I did DHs first on Microsoft Edge Browser that I usually use. Then opened up Chrome and did mine thinking that using different browser wouldn't mess it up thinking I had already played. This time I think, I am no dummy, I will do mine first on Edge then DHs. Nope- Still got the Error. Marriott just hates me I guess. Did DHs on Chrome and his still worked for another 50 points.

OK Marriott is having big problems or they have really bad CSRs. I call to try to book the hotel piece of my travel package. I finally get through the automated line to a real person. I give her the dates and hotel, she looks things up and attempts to book and finally says "call back another time, our system won't let me input your rewards number to look up your certificate". What?!? Just seemed like if the system was down/not working she would have said that at first rather then attempting to book. I guess I'll try back later......

Another fail on my part. Went to Costco and used my CSR instead of CF. I'm so focused on meeting MSR I forgot to pull out the CF for 5x points. Luckily my main reason to go to Costco was to pick up my glasses and just had a small trip ($50). Maybe I need to label my own cards

Remembered to play the 29 ways game and got 1000 pts for me today (hubby's stuck at 50 but better than nothing)

Nothing very useful to report but it took my mind off all the statements that are going to be showing up in the mail later today

I’ve only received 50 points too

That's really terrible. Do you get any emails afterward? I guess not but maybe it's just an error on the page and not that you aren't getting an entry. But that's just weird. Sorry to have rubbed it in

If you have specific questions about tour operators and itineraries, definitely check out the cruise board. I know there are tons of people who have used Anastasia (as well as other operators) who might be able to give you more specific ideas/feedback. Some of the things they did sounded wonderful. I was jealous! In other words, you might be able to borrow their planning

Thanks! There wasn't much there for the N/I/S cruise we took this summer, but I do check there all the time. We are still not sure where we would like to go next (we don't take these big trips every year) and the Baltic cruise is one of many ideas. With this summer's cruise having been so incredible I'll have to work hard to find something that can try to match it.

Nashville Trip Plans so far:

• Flights
  • 9563 RRs each way plus CP, paying $22 in fees; cash price $584 for 2 RT
• Hotels
  • Fri: Courtyard Downtown for 35k pts; cash price $485.40
  • Sat: Hyatt Downtown, transferred 14k URs (had 1k already from a promo); cash price $347.10

Hotels work out well as Courtyard is close to the Ryman for our Friday night show, and Hyatt is close to the Symphony Center for our Saturday night show. I probably would have done both nights at the Hyatt except Friday was sold out by the time I started playing with flying in earlier. And now that we're paying $22 total for hotel and flights I don't feel as bad seeing two shows.

I'm down to 19k RR points now. I hit 60k offers for both biz and personal sign ups so we ended up with 125k points, which are officially used up now. We went to WDW 5 times, Cali twice, Vegas, and will be going to Nashville plus flying home from OMA. Our 125k in points got us $3902 in flights. We paid $190 in taxes and fees instead. Also, I'm going with the full cash price and not the one person cash price that reddit insists upon. I understand the idea that CP makes the companion free whether using points or cash, but in my world we wouldn't have taken these trips without the points period, which we wouldn't have had without the cards, so it's like all free money to me

For the 19k I have left: I had one referral (10k), 9k from credit card anniveresaries, 1300 from a revenue flight, and 600 for staying in an MGM property in Vegas.

So I just got a call from the local branch manager of the bank where I deposit my money orders...I didn't recognize the number so sent to voicemail. He would like to talk about some recent deposits into my account.

I will give him a call back on Monday.

I was bad and ignored the calls and emails from Discover when they locked my savings account Eventually they unlocked it. But that was just when I opened it and then moved $15k out and in a couple times to trigger the bonus, not for MOs lol.

Hmmm... I have to work this weekend I am feeling inclined to order multiple new travel purses online this weekend to see in person, and return what I don't want... Why not? Free returns with shoprunner and ebags

 

[3 DD love princesses]

It sounds like you need to work some airline cards into your plans. 17 hours!!??!!

Sorry catching up from being gone. We took our toy hauler so didnt have a choice. We will be flying next trip. I have the points plus a cp this year but dh wanted to try out the campground.

 

[amalone1013]

What is with the marriott points plus cash rates. I never looked much before, but lately every time I check one it's like, use 12k points to save yourself $15 over the non-member, refundable rate! Who would do that??

That's what I do, order a bunch and return. You should have seen how many I ordered for our England trip, since both dd and I needed one.

It drives DH crazy when I do that - it's so fun! Last year I ordered 9 pairs of tennis shoes on black friday

Oops. This is one of my hesitations about MS. We have our primary accounts at Chase, which I know does not tolerate MO deposits. I also have an old account at BoA that I'm not sure about. So far I have only bought GCs to use for MOs when I know I can use the MOs to pay for soemthing directly, like our property taxes.

My turn to vent about ebay. I was nice and provided a picture when he asked if there was damage to the book, there's a bit of miscolor on the last page. So he overs 6.50 when my starting bid is 9.99, umm no. So I decline without a message and he comes back with 7. Umm again no the min is 9.99. So I declined again with a message saying the min I will take is 9.99 and that I won't take an offer unless it's higher. There's less than 1k of these books and I realize it's a small audience for it I also am not stupid and know even with the small issue it's worth more than 10 bucks. He needs to bid or leave me alone.

It's been 3 months since my last Chase card so I'm ready for a new one! Right now I am eligible for either CF or CIU. I was planning on applying for the CIU 1st because.... more points! But with Christmas coming and Department Stores and Costco at 5x I'm wondering if I should apply for CF 1st then CIU in January. Any thoughts?
