I got my subway points but I never got my Shell App miles from that same weekend. I know they scanned my card at shell as they asked if I wanted to use my dream Miles.
I am the opposite LOL Got the Shell, not the Subway miles.
Hold the phone.....why on earth would the personal shopper be adding those tickets to his/her personal MDE?Woah, so many back and forth emails between the personal shopper and myself before I finally got both of the tickets for the After Hours at the Studios attached to my MDE account. She had in fact linked them to her own account and needed to add me as a friend, I needed to accept that request before I could find the tickets and assign them to us. I first needed to make hubby his own account so "he" (quotes because we all know that I'm the one who did this) could accept the ticket. I then had to have this new dummy account send a friend request to me so that I could pull his ticket to his actual profile. I'm happy it's done and I can move onto the dining reservations next. Ok, I lied, next is to look at car rentals now that Disney isn't charging for parking we might use some miles for the ability to go to other resorts without allowing 90 minutes for transit!
SO big warning for people using personal shopper for any ticket media - be sure to link those tickets to your account before heading off on your trip. If you get down there and discover that they are linked to someone else's account you could end up with a massive headache, you'll have no paper trail for payment to prove they're yours.
I git my Shell miles as well. Did the Save on Foods card linked offer and got the Save on miles but not the bonus 100.
I don’t know about the first time purchase part. My screw up yesterday was not paying with my MC…oddly I made the cashier backtrack and scan my AM though. I’m going back today to buy another gift card but I don’t know for how much. I’m still trying to figure out how much I might need …one day at MK and then 7 day cruise.
I was waiting to see what happens before I purchased more but I bought $250 when the offer first came out. I thought the AMs would show up when my MasterCard AMs posted. They posted today and while I did receive the 3Xs for shopping at Metro, I did not receive the 250 for the purchase. I'm not sure what to do now. Did I get the offer wrong? Do I need to purchase something with AMs to get the bonus? Do GCs not count, although MC has no way to know what you purchased. Just not sure if I should bother with it anymore.
Which Metro is this? the Metro at Taylor and Bayridge did that to me and they were mean about it. It was a real interrogation. They made me feel like I was defrauding them.
YES! Glad it’s not just me it was humiliating
It’s a Metro policy to ask for ID on gift card purchases over a certain amount. What that amount is I can’t remember. I’ve had to show ID on several occasions and the cashier has called a manager to look at my ID and approve the purchase. Oddly, that did not happen the other day but I paid at customer service which I never do.
I wasn’t IDed at all just interrogated . Loudly in front of a lineup of people. For a Disney gift card. Maybe if I was buying a whole whack of MasterCard or Visa.. I would understand .
Agreed with everything @TammyLynn33 has said. I was never IDed. This particular Metro has no shame. I was called out the same way, in front of a lineup of people, several times. I would go to the 10 items and under checkout to save time, so you can imagine how many people would be behind me listening to me getting scolded about purchasing a gift card. I quit going to that Metro. They are really nasty about it. The last time it happened I questioned them back, as to why they would have an issue with Disney GCs. If it were a Visa GC I would maybe understand, but what do they think anyone is going to do with a Disney GC? They just got more hostile. Besides, it's not just the questioning, it's the way they do the questioning. It's accusatory. They look at you like you are trying to steal something.
turned it on it's side looked at it from different angles. After he approved and was walking away he stopped and asked who the card was for, I said me, I'm going to see Donald duck.
There have been a lot of gift card scams over the last few months. The scammers put a barcode sticker over the real bar code. Unless you know what to look for it is very easy to not notice. The card gets activated to the fake barcode and the scammer has your money with no record of it ever happening. Good on the store to have a thorough look at the gift card before you purchased it!I don't think we'll see the miles for the Mastercard offer post until AFTER the promo is finished. Same as the online one that took place during the holidays, those miles posted in a lump.
Our city has been caught up in the grandparents scam the past 6 months or so and I had the manager called over when I grabbed one to top up my order a couple of weeks ago. I told the cashier while I was waiting for a till to open that I was planning on adding a bunch of money to the card so she was ready. Good grief I didn't get the scrutiny but the gift card sure did, he even pulled a magnifying glass out of his pocket
Banks do have an option to question large withdrawals IF someone who is connected to the account requests this. For example, if a person has PA over their parents accounts and has concerns that what they are doing with their money isn't above board, that they are being taken advantage of, they can request we question the person and even request we contact them when this is happening. This is a request that doesn't happen often.
