Random DP. I had a gold and was getting $10 month credit to Uber. I upgraded it to Platinum and started to also receive the $15 month to uber. It's been 7 months and they continue to give me gold in addition to platinum credits on uber

I have that with a Schwab Plat card - cancelled the card, still getting the credits.  Not complaining!

Booking Tix for a family to Israel on elal. Which card has better protections? Chase sapphire reserve or Amex biz plat? Ignoring point earnings for now.

Thanks.

Has anyone found a way to use the equinox credit aside for gym membership? Also has anyone recently had luck getting travel bank credits on airlines besides for United. TIA

I was told by a rep that you can still get it as a check refunded even after paying your bill and you close the card but if you downgrade you’ll definitely get it as a statement credit.

If I use my BP at Dell and receive my credit but later return it and in the meantime I did another Dell purchase. Will they claw back and then” re’reimburse” or just leave me with my credit? It’s נוגע when I’m closing the card imminently. Any dp’s is appreciated. Thanks.

If I cancel a Clear membership and receive a full refund- will Amex claw back their credit?
TIA
