Lol I know right! I loaded $20 on my Dunkin’, $20 on my Starbucks. Just waiting for those 4 to credit.I had so many of those offers, I will be all set for donuts for awhile LOL.
Now if they would credit...
I would for the car rental discounts and the 10% off at Auntie Anne's Pretzels. Inow have to go look and see if I've got it that offer.Got a Chase offer for $8 off a $12 AARP membership (auto-renewal). I have read some blogs about pairing this AARP discount with a Chase discount to buy cheap British Airway flights and then upgrade those flights.
IDK if I'll bite. Anyone find AARP membership worth $4-8?
I have had multiple returns with Saks and I always order something else. I don’t want a surprise bill from Amex a year from now clawing the credits back like they did with Dell that one yearA question on the Amex Plat Saks $50 credit. I purchased a $75 item (a Zwilling pan) online almost a month ago. I got the shipping notification a few days later and got the $50 credit almost immediately. Problem is -- the pan never actually shipped (the tracking just says the label was printed, no estimated delivery). So I submitted a question about it at the Saks website. Today I get an email saying that I was issued a refund.
I really WANTED the damn pan. Trying to decide if I should quickly order something else from Saks or just wait and see if they claw it back? Either way works (though the pan is no longer available obvs), I just don't want AMEX to get annoyed -- was NOT trying to pull a fast one for the $50!
Oh man! How frustrating. Just shows how much the representative you’re speaking with can make such a difference. Sorry this was your experience. I guess I’m lucky mine went so smoothly. Hopefully you can get it sorted easily.Soooo not quick or painless for me. It took over 25 minutes of me respelling my name (which is Amy Porter, NOT too hard) address, AND email. In fact I respelt my email about 10 times. I said @aol.com, she said @yahoo.com? Then came back with @eola.com? She says she sent the letter, and I haven't gotten it. She says it can take 24 hours. I'm thinking I just need to call back and ask again. UGH! She had everything wrong everytime she would repeat the info!
My biggest problem is forgetting them! I have one more 5 off 10 food offer and DD is making dinner tonight and I can't drive today since I had a procedure earlier that required anesthesia. It expires today! I'm considering door dashing some Panera cookies or something (that I don't need to be eating!).
Wish I'd read CFA before I did Starbucks. DD does that fairly often and I could have put it on her card.Can you load your Chic Fil A account or something like that so you can use the offer today, without the hassle? Hope you're doing well.
Is it the form you linked? And it gives different offers? Definitely did not know about that! I tried it for my CSP and a SW card but it said nothing eligible.Here's another Chase tip: you may already know about this but I'll post anyway. I have 8 cards total so every so often I fill out the form and check to see if there is anything useful there. Sometimes it is UR's. These are called 'spend offers' and are in addition to other offers or regular rewards on your chase cards. It's also a reason for keeping certain no fee cards.
Your offer is activated.
From January 15 to March 31, 2023 you’ll earn 5X total Bonus Points on:
This offer is valid for every $1 you spend on up to $1,500 in combined purchases made with your World of Hyatt Credit Card.*
- Gas station purchases
- Grocery store purchases
- Internet, cable and phone services

I get 5% on gas Jan til end of March using my Hyatt card.
Sounds like we are taking very similar trips in May. I was also surprised by the Eurostar prices. It would definitely be cheaper for us to fly, but the Eurostar is kind of a bucket list thing for me. I don't have any info on ways to use points to do it, but I think I'm going to open a new checking account with a bonus to help offset the cost.My dd and I are headed to London and Paris for her graduation trip this May. I have our flights into London booked via AirFrance and back home from Paris via AA, all booked with points. Our hotels in each city are booked, also via through Hyatt and the Cap1 Portal. (Yay!) I have been working on itineraries and the next thing I need to book was the Eurostar from London to Paris. Yikes! I should definitely have factored those costs when planning the trip and booking hotels. Because now we don't have much flexibility and the prices are high! $414. Much more than I had budgeted.
Anyone have any tips for utilizing points or getting a discount? I read online that you could transfer AMEX points to Club Eurocar but I don't actually see that as a travel partner, so maybe that is not available to the US? Or it was just bad info.
It might actually be cheaper to fly at this point but we were kind of looking forward to the train, so trying to make that work. I do still have 125,000ish URs that I was planning to cash out to cover our various activities for this trip, just didn't anticipate spending so much of it on the train!
Any ideas? Or do I just need to suck it up and pay it?
Thanks!
I do. They have a rewards thing where you earn points for watching videos, doing quizzes, etc. You can also earn points for exercise by linking a fitness tracker. Redemption options change often and aren't fantastic, but I've been able to get a bunch of random $5 GCs. AARP is also on capital one shopping and other portals.Got a Chase offer for $8 off a $12 AARP membership (auto-renewal).

I'll probably regret it, but I didn't use all mine because I wasn't confident they would credit. I wish they would be more consistent with their emails so I'd know if something actually triggered the offer.I had so many of those offers, I will be all set for donuts for awhile LOL.
Now if they would credit...
Not that I am aware of. However, you can pay your Disney cruise with Disney gift cards. You can buy DGCs at a discounted rate through Sam’s or BJs and save a little cash that way. You could purchase DGCs at Staples or Office Max/Depot with a CIC for 5x on the dollar. You can purchase Disney GCs at a grocery store for 4x with an Amex gold, 3x with a Citi Premier, 6x with an Amex blue cash. You could purchase DGCs for 3x with a Chase Flex at Walgreens or CVS. You can always redeem your extra points earned for cash if that works for you.Are there any CB sites that ever work on Disney travel? Figured I'd ask before I drop a ton of money on final cruise payments for my whole family (they'll pay me back but its for three rooms).
Chiming in- Target Redcard is 5% off, too. I know that's a card a lot of folks have...Not that I am aware of. However, you can pay your Disney cruise with Disney gift cards.

Thank you! We’re taking a quick Disney trip in a month so the GCs I have are earmarked for tickets and expenses.Not that I am aware of. However, you can pay your Disney cruise with Disney gift cards.

I found this online that may be helpful: https://thepointsguy.com/credit-cards/hotel/marriott/eligibility-chart-marriott-bonvoy-cards/ Looks like your card remains the same since you were grandfathered in.So probably a dumb question, but I had the original SPG Amex that was then converted to the Bonvoy Amex. What is it considered now? I see the Bevy and Brilliant online but don’t see one without a “sub heading,” and my card is old so it has nothing besides “Marriott Bonvoy” on it.

My husband just got an Amex platinum so I’ll definitely look into that one.
I think the best I can do will be 2x on my CSP.
