I love credit cards so much!

[SouthFayetteFan]

Which Amex cards do you have?

Just check your spreadsheet!

 

[SouthFayetteFan]

I just did my first Boxed order. Sorry, @SouthFayetteFan, there was a $20 off code so I didn't use your link! But I ended up getting $20 off, plus $25 back with my Amex offer, plus $10.50 by shopping through Ibotta! So basically $100 worth of household products for $45! I just stocked up on stuff like laundry and dish detergent, but I should be good for a while now.

Never apologize for taking advantage of a higher offer YOU saved $5 more and that’s what’s important.

Wow, the DIS was down all morning.

Wow, the DIS was down all morning.

The usual down time from 1-2/3am pacific time went for way longer.

Do you have to load each card individually into Masterpass, or can Masterpass combine them so you can pay a larger amount on Plastiq? I don't think my landlord would be happy if they got multiple checks to cover one month's rent.

As far as I know, no way to combine.

Wow, the DIS was down all morning.

And I had to work at 3am today. I was in withdrawal.

LOL, I came down to my desk, and got nothing! I was like, ack, what the heck do I do now????

I thought it was very odd that our group was so quiet!

And it just went down again briefly!!! Stop, don't they know this is what I do all day while working?

Someone linked to this story from USA Today on Reddit today. Tough read, but reality sucks sometimes. https://www.usatoday.com/story/trav...esorts-tripadvisor-sexual-assault/1816675002/ My take away from it was don't tell people your actual check-out date, apparently that leaves you more likely to be attacked on your last day in country as people leaving a country don't want to be delayed so are less like to pursue justice of any form. My other take away was heck no to Jamaica. And yet I'm traveling to South Africa which has the same level of state department warning so idk how much of my 2nd take away I am actually taking to heart.

I was up during the night, not able to sleep, and I kept trying to get on the DIS. Been so busy during the day lately that middle of the night is my time to catch up. I was in withdrawal too lol.

Guess where we are headed to for Thanksgiving thanks to SW and super cheap flights! That's right, Orlando but to the dark sides. I don't why I was checking with this morning but when I checked the low fare calendar I saw flights to MCO from BWI for $96 on Tues and Wed before Thanksgiving and then late Sat night. 24k points later, $400 for 3 nights at the Renaissance SeaWorld, SeaWorld tickets on that daily whatever site in May and probably a rental. DH mentioned the Universal AP extra month deal going on so I think I'll be purchasing APs for there also. I was missing having Uni APs. If we do add on Uni, I might change our Wed night to PBR or RPR since we like being onsite. I still need to figure out what I am doing Tues night/early Wed morning since our flight does land until 12:50 am. I was thinking maybe we would just stay at the Hyatt at the airport rather than having to pick up the rental and drive to a hotel. So excited! This will keep me out of the stores for BF. Any thoughts on what the crowds might be like a SeaWorld or Uni? Oh, I did pay the $20 per ticket for EBCI for the 3 of us given that's Thanksgiving travel time and the tickets were paid with 24k RR and CP. So excited! DH was just asking the other day what we were doing for the holiday and now we have a plan!

Instant approval for DH CIU! Second instant approval for him this month, with SPG Personal on 10.12.

Just like @amalone1013 husband, Zack, he knows what's happening but kinda doesn't. I have mostly given up giving him the details or the card and he really doesn't care. I booked our upcoming cruise totally with UR's (less the deposit from 2 expired Next cruise certificates that I got reinstated) and that's ALL that matters to him!

I LOVE hearing about people doing last minute trips!!! (what's EBCI?)

Since you mention missing BF shopping... SeaWorld had lot of interesting "extras" when I went a couple years ago. We did the penguin encounter and it was a highlight of my life. Litterally, a top 10 experience- I'm grining from ear to ear remembering meeting Pippin the gregarious penguin If you think someone in your fam might prefer an extra thing like that over some gifts you might have grabbed BF shopping you could consider early Xmas present/s...

Oh Chase, what's going on with you?

Email from "Chase Sapphire Reserve"
Subject "More travel options to choose from"​

If we really have truth in advertising laws they should make them add "sorta" at the end.

From the body: "

ENHANCED SEARCH & BOOKING EXPERIENCE
More travel options, better fare transparency and no hidden fees
"​

So I can see all the stuff I was missing out on before, but still miss out on it and know about it now. Yippee.

and "

50% MORE IN TRAVEL REDEMPTION
Points are worth more when you redeem for travel through Chase Ultimate Rewards®*
"​

The asterisk should really read "kinda, assuming Expedia didn't add more fees to it thus raising the price from anywhere else you could have booked this. In which case points could be worth less than cashing out. YMMV. GL."

Nice to hear an instant approval on a Chase biz card. I'm anxiously awaiting 11/1 when I'll "help" DH apply for a CIP from my referral. It would be so nice to have an instant approval!
