Phew! I was starting to worry about my Marriott upgrade offer.. because my statement closed on the 18th for the one I made the purchase on, and usually my points show up in my Marriott account in 2-3 days and they're still not showing. But I just opened my statement (because it would have made too much sense to do that right away when it closed) and I can see the upgrade points on there.

@havaneselover sorry to hear of your loss. Especially at this time of year. Remember all the great memories and celebrate them.

My account closes on the 24th so now I know when to look for my 50K points. Let me know when you get your free night, as I should be just a week behind you.

I hadn't seen my MR's from my Gold card and I had checked this morning. Because of you, I was on Amazon looking at the wallets and I decided to get one. When I got to the payment screen it asked if I wanted to pay with MR's. No, but there were my 50K plus what I already had! Nice surprise!

I have HRH booked for the late Jan trip I am surprising my boys with at Christmas. But we need a hotel for the 1st night. Debating staying at the Renaissance Seaworld (using my free night cert since it’s a Cat 4) and using the second day of our voucher or offsite at Universal with an early/quick drive over to HRH and then 3 days at Universal. Any recommendations for a Marriott option near Universal?

Did you check in the early am? For some reason MR don’t seem to appear until later in the morning. I know when I checked once at 6 am nothing but at like 10 am they were there. So strange since you would think the updates would be happening overnight and be available in the am.

Curious about this a well for a potential trip back in the fall. I think my brief research showed a Four Points Sheraton and residence inn. I think the Sheraton was a bit closer with better reviews but the Residence Inn has breakfast.

Has anyone see this. Interesting?

Color me confused does he mean getting 2 cards one EIN one SS. Or using spouses SS put putting you as the business hence putting all RRs into one account?

@tink1970 or anyone else who knows about the Amex flight credit and Delta. Please help!

I already have 5 $50 gift cards. 2 for the Gold, 2 for Biz Plat, and 1 where I messed up and ordered it from my ipad. I am looking to buy flights first week of April for the Star Wars race weekend and want to use my companion certificate. Flights are expensive since such a short trip and not any wiggle room with dates, but I am tired of waiting for it to come down more. If I buy now and use Biz Plat the companion certificate fees should credit right? (If it credits I can justify the flight cost).

If I wait to buy I am thinking I might just use the boost your mileage function for our January trip. Any idea if that would bill now and credit? Or should I just suck it up and get 2 more gift cards and call it good?

I actually read most of the thread on flyer talk on Delta, but I don't want to post there and my precise question hasn't been answered.

 

[DisneyMandC]

I didn't notice that!


That's what I figured, it looks similar sized to my current one which has two sections, each with 4 card slots on each side (16 total) plus 2 big pockets, and one section has a zipper pocket in the middle for change. So I figured this is wortha shot and it's free returns.

Haha I think we must have the exact same wallet! Mine is exactly like that too. I can’t even remember where I got it.

My last PNC took 6 weeks, still waiting this round but it's only been 1 week. I was on the long end of the wait at 6 weeks last time. They batch process. It seems to be they process bonuses out over a few days for everyone who met the requirements as of a week or 2 before.

I read to wait for the debit card before attempting to log into the acct. I still don't have the card so I haven't done the deposits yet.

 

[gottalovepluto]

Waiting on my link Their support seems rather slow so I'm hoping it comes soon or the $100 promo is extending, but even at $50, it's a quick and easy $50.
I finally got it all set up to push from Chase and did that this morning, waiting for it to hit.

Still waiting on my PNC debit card so I can set up that acct and finish that one. How long does it take to receive that? I just need to learn patience lol

Keep an eye out- my link just came through!

 

[gottalovepluto]

PM me if you get good news back on the $100 offer...

Hit you up on Reddit

Suffering a lot of year end FOMO with these Dec triple dips but ultimately it’s not a good call for me this year. New Years Resolution: chill on the FOMO, there will always be another cc!

Sorry it took me so long to respond. I have had the credit trigger for fees on an award ticket as well as a change fare ticket so I would think any fees would kick in but of course I can't promise that. I just remember being sort of shocked (and annoyed, since I was going to buy gc and ended up having the fees count). It's worth a shot if you can tolerate the risk.

PS-have fun running the SW race-I injured myself and had to quit running before I could do that series.

Hello all you wonderful people! Here's my question of the day:

DD would like to build up her credit. She has a credit union Visa, but would like to get a points earning card. We looked at that CFU offer that was talked about for college aged kids, but it looks like it's cash back. Any suggestions?

I’m pretty sure @Lain knows where you live, when you woke up AND what you ate for breakfast. Actually... @Lain... ummm SANTA...is that you????

I'm pretty sure @Lain knows where I live.

one thing ive told ppl is to build a nice stash of UR with CFU or CF... once ur ready to travel, apply for a CSR/CSP and transfer points from CFU/CF to it and travel. could work for ur DD as well.

For MIL. It's like her third one thus year



Had my first Amazon issue for the season. Shoved my envelope in the mail box with a bunch of mail and another box and broke the little gift I got to go with DHs concert tickets

That's what I was suggesting, but the offer looks like it's $200 cash back instead of URs. This confused us since we all thought CF and CFU were UR cards, not cash back ones.

We’ve had lots of late packages from amazon and they’ve given us a $5 credit each time.
