If you spend 50k in an Office Supply Store, Chase doesn't get suspicious?
Well depends on what he spends it on. If he is does usual buying there then why would they.

I don't know if I entered the correct numbers or not in the end, but on my third try, the PIN was recognized as something valid and having 500 bucks on it. I took it. Alls well that ends well.
BTW just as a side note, what's up with those ghetto-@ss VRs at Family Dollar? I mean, are they even real or are they grey market knock-offs from China? I haven't seen such quality since I bought my last Gucci track suit at the swap meet. First of all, my kids we're mocking these lame VRs, "They're cardboard! They're not even plastic!" (My kids know what a real "bean" looks like, I assure you. They've gleefully handled stacks of them.) Second of all, on the back, all there is on the card is a UPC symbol floating in the center. No scratch-off! I mean, come on, Family Dollar clientele are the biggest connoisseurs of scratch-off there are, right?

Not so much a mistake as recklessness... Still intoxicated from the emotional high of the DDS CLE, I took my kids out for our favorite Sunday activity of CVS cruising combined with a Walmart run. Once I got the kids to bed, I started madly scratching off my VRs with a paper clip, and in my exuberance and fervor... sheered the numbers right off!!!

How about clarifying your stereotype / racist comments.
Stereotype, yes. Racist, no. It's a socio-economic joke. You're the one who superimposed race. The scratch-off joke was making fun of the fact that in America, poor people have expendable income. My grandparents didn't go from poverty to upper middle class in one generation by buying lottery tickets or other needless crap. :)
If you ever go to Harlem I would not use the term "ghetto-@ss" there. ;)
Harlem? Yeah, cuz that's the quintessential African-American neighborhood, right? Maybe I'll go check out the Cotton Club and bump into Langston Hughes. Your choice of neighborhoods is as anachronistic as your ability to perceive racism where the is none. :)
It has nothing to do where the idea was started. If you want we can do a little test. If you are ever out my way we will go to an east side club/bar and you are free to use that term. Before they slice and dice you I will explain you are from NY and didn’t know any better. :)
What kind of people "slice and dice" other people because the use of a phrase triggers their wrath? I'll tell you who. Ghetto-@ss. :)
Bottom line, I love you, CV. You're a good man and you have a good heart, which is why you stand up against what you perceive to be injustice. (Yes, I followed your commentary on the Zimmerman thread last summer.) But this is 2014. The ability to perceive race everywhere is not a sign of compassion. Maybe it was in another generation. I hope you take this the right way.

What's real annoying is that at the last minute they canceled the United flight and switched us to a Diff airline. Couldn't take more then one bag, no lounge with unplanned stopover.

I got some measly points as compensation
You couldn't get a prorated refund?

A month later I lost a $500 GC, again, it took many, many phone calls to recover. Though by the time I recovered it I had $471 left. Lost $29 but still happy to get the rest.
I think by now I learned my lesson.
Post by: jj1000 on December 20, 2013, 11:40:28 AM
How? Something we can learn from?Sure, keep a spread sheet of all opened cards when you need to spend on them, of all travel vouchers, and anything else reward related that has an expiration date.
I never bothered as I'm generally very on top of things, but I got busy for a few months and now I lost for lack of that spreadsheet.
It's hard to equate losing miles and vouchers with money though, as in the past week I also got $2,300 in points, so easy come easy go I guess? Still no excuse to lose easy money that can be converted to cash if need be.

If it's a one-off and he shows he can pay it, won't it help avoid a FR?Perhaps. But as far as Amex is concerned, it makes no difference if you pay before or after the closing date. Actually, they rather you pay after the closing date.

I was worried the GCs still didn't qualify for the credit, then it hit me!

Please, Count, give us a pep talk on this. Your words will not be wasted. I think for many of us (definitely me) we are still sheepish about manufactured spend and so we don't go gangbusters like we ought to. If I have a card that needs only a 1k spend, I definitely will go out and meet it on the first day, but when it's 5k like Miles and More, it becomes a whole drawn out process.

I meant legally. As a joke of course.. I knew. Sarcastic/ joke font needed. Also too nervous.After calling twice. I asked to have a friend added because I, the reservation holder, would not be able to pick it up. Refused both times. Getting panicky. Hoping Alamo would let it pass when I hit their counter. If not, I would lose the money and have to priceline again on my phone.
Call up priceline, sometimes it is possible to cancel the RSVP, try Google for excuses. I have a friend who has cancelled them before.
I pulled up my reservation and chatted. This time, after I tried to add myself as a friend, she said I would need to be there with a cc in my name for the security deposit. So I told her >>> that Patty Patch is a name I use on some of my things, but that she has no ID or cc's in her name. <<<
Hold. Then she came back saying she would make a one time exception and cancel the reservation, pending approval by alamo. and she would send confirmation to my email. I asked her to send it instead to XXX@gmail. instead, since I don't monitor the pattypage email too often. She said ok!

I pulled up my reservation and chatted. This time, after I tried to add myself as a friend, she said I would need to be there with a cc in my name for the security deposit. So I told her >>> that Patty Patch is a name I use on some of my things, but that she has no ID or cc's in her name. <<<
Hold. Then she came back saying she would make a one time exception and cancel the reservation, pending approval by alamo. and she would send confirmation to my email. I asked her to send it instead to XXX@gmail. instead, since I don't monitor the pattypage email too often. She said ok!

Why don't you call Alamo and add yourself through them?The information on the reservation as it was, was all wrong. Name, email, even cc- it was a GC not my united card. Had Priceline not cancelled it or added me, I was going to try Alamo. Cancelling it was a great solution for me. Now I know what price works and can make the reservation properly.

This morning I went gift card shopping, but was in a rush, and a little lazy, so I didn't add any item(s) to my purchase. A little later today my card was declined in a store. When I called them up, the agent on the phone pulled up my most recent charge and flat out asked "I see it was for XX.XX... Was that a gift card?" :-[What's the big deal? Other than your card being declined.
Post by: MC on June 25, 2014, 07:02:54 PM

Wouldn't it be easier to load a bit less than $500 to the gift card?Besides for the fact that it would lesson the cents/mile ratio, it's too complicated to keep track of which cards have what amounts until I get around to loading them to BB.

I just closed my Sapphire in middle of my billing cycle to get them to approve #3 of my 3BM, I did transfer the points to my Ink, but the points earned from the last cycle hadn't post then.
On my last statement it says "total points currently unavailable for redemption.... 2742.
Is there anything I can do?
I wouldn't make myself crazy for 2700 points, but if it could get done easily, why not.

There weren't any points that hadn't posted AFAIK because I haven't been using the card lately.

2. Rep: "Oh, I see we've already waived this year's annual fee, you called us last month..."
3. Rep: "I'd like to help you, but I believe that card is issued by another bank," (in my defense, Citi and Chase both begin with "C".)

Made hotel and office supply store purchases with Ink Bold even though I knew I would cancel the card before the next statement to get the annual fee refunded. Points that could easily be worth half the annual fee will be forfeited. Any ideas?My experiences with chase recently is that these is a new rule that u can cancel up to 180 Days and still get the full annual fee refund back. U Just have to request it, it's not automatic
Post by: David R on October 12, 2014, 12:36:30 AM
Are you sure you need to cancel now to get the AF refunded? It seems you can get it refunded for up to 180 days.Oh, I thought it was something like 60 to 90 days or so. I cancelled it last week and the annual fee credit already posted, along with the aforementioned hotel and office supply purchases, in the "transactions since last statement" section. When the statement will be generated later this month, I assume the points earned will show up as "unavailable for redemption". Has anyone been able to get UR points that posted to a closed account to be transferred to an open account?

Even if I could, I would not reopen it if that would involve rebilling the AF because the points at stake are worth less than the AF.

Get a 1X $50 statement credit by using your connected Card to make a single purchase of $200+ on all charges to your room, including your room rate, when you pay for your stay with Marriott Hotels between 11/6/14 and 12/31/14. Tweet using #AmexMarriott to add this offer to your connected American Express Card.
When the Courtyard offer was around it was tough to find hotels with gift cards. Many said they never carry them. So let's hope that online works.
Didn't work this morning. Bought a Gift Card at a Courtyard, did not get a confirmation email after.
T&C exclude Courtyard
My Bad. Ouch
That will teach me to read the T&C more diligently.
Onto a Marriott now......
Was hoping to make some money by selling the GC online instead ended up losing $24 by selling it.

Paying with the same Amex card twice at Office Depot.I put a small piece of masking tape with the store name on each card that has the offer : OfDep, for example. (many cards have multiple pieces of tape. )
Then, when I charge the card, I either remove the tape, or even better, I cross off the name. Helps avoid this problem.

Also, the taxes and fees Priceline charges are higher than any other place I saw. They say that includes their fee. So, to make the "name your own price" work, I assume they make up a bunch of their "loss" with the fees.

After the deadline I realized I am .75 short of my signup bonus because I forgot to take SBS credits into account. Sure I'll HUCA. Has anyone had success getting the 50k anyway? Amex.Wow, good luck.

You also dont need to keep opening up threads.

Every time I apply now for a card I get an automatic denial when my Score is 768 at least. The recon dept. tells me the computer denies you since you've opened 3 cards and closed them out.

By far the stupidest thing I've done is to open 2 Us Airways cards and a M&M card and close them all.See if you can reopen 1 or more of them?

The problem is I need 4 tickets and there was only 3 saaver awards. So I booked the 3 saaver for my kids for 12.5k (I fudged the birthdays so it shouldn't appear as an unaccompanied minor) and then for myself I paid 25k for a business seat.
The problem is since they are not part of my itinerary my citi and Barclays card won't give them free luggage and I only get two from business. If I would have put one of my kids in the business section we all would be able to get free luggage.
I realized what I did about an hour later but they couldn't help me.

Mixing up my cards while loading at WM, and having three split tender loads in a row cancel because one of the cards was emptythats annoying, got to have a pocket system

I need to extend the expiration of my Flying Blue miles. I was wondering if flying from USA to Canada on a Delta flight operated by WestJet would allow me to earn Flying Blue miles. I chose the Delta flight number when purchasing from Priceline and my credit card was charged by Delta. Furthermore, the confirmation number can be looked up on Delta.com. Delta is a member of SkyTeam, but WestJet is not.
Wont help. Westjet and flying blue aren't mileage partners
Flew to Canada for no other reason than to extend the expiration of my miles, and failed to accomplish that goal. The response of the quoted DDFer was accurate but I had already flown between the time I asked and the time s/he responded.

For any future mileage expiration extension needs, check if the airline has an online shopping portal (Flying Blue does, as do most of the major airlines) and just order anything from one of the linked stores. You should be able to find something for under $5 shipped..
Go now and sign into all your accounts and make a spreadsheet with all the expiration data listed (or use AwardWallet which can pull that data automatically) and do this shopping "trick" for any accounts that are within 3 months of expiring.
You're welcome!

Here's how I found the flight: On matrix.itasoftware.com, on the One-way tab, I entered the airports I was willing to depart from in the first box, I pasted the North America airport list from forums.dansdeals.com/index.php?topic=45539.0 into the destination box, chose the option to see calendar of lowest fares and entered / alliance skyteam into the routing codes box. I looked for the lowest number on the calendar, then reversed the route and looked for the lowest number on the calendar again, then chose the lowest of the two. The mistake was that I did not repeat the search using O:DL,AM in the advanced routing codes box after seeing that Delta and AeroMexico service the area. That would have limited my search to flights operated by SkyTeam member airlines.
I wish extending the expiration was as easy as transferring some more miles from Chase or Citi, shopping through a portal, or ordering a magazine, but for Flying Blue, you have to fly.

Paid a credit card from the wrong bank. $35 overdraft fee. Hopefully can get it waivedThat means the bank paid even though you did not have the money in the account. It could have been worse if they decided not to pay, in which case you would also have a declined payment fee and possibly a late fee from the credit card.

yea and considering how much it was kind of glad. +im not sure amex would have been thrilled with the declined payment (although it was on a very established account) also glad i had mint send me an alert or it may have taken me a couple days to notice to replace the funds.

Revenue ua flight got cancelled and I asked to be rebooked on AA thinking I'd probably get redeemable miles, forgetting that I was booked on a revenue flight with UA and would have gotten that anyway. I'm not getting any more miles and lost upgrade chances (would have cleared)you can still claim the miles from UA for the IRROPS flight so you get to double dip

When rep said that the account is marked as Female, I just retorted, oh that's a mistake (could have said as in the past that it is DW's account and I'm calling for her - they would either let it happen or I would need to HUCA - but it was too close to Shabbos to deal with that). Now they want me to send a copy of ID.
Am I better off:
- fessing up saying what actually happened, providing DW's ID and proof that we're married (was trying to transfer from her account to mine);
- Photoshop;
- Attempting to transfer from her Marriott account back to SPG account, and then do SPG to SPG transfer (if I need to, as I'm not sure I can take advantage of United promo before United chart devaluation at this point, taking account all needed transfers)?

Called Marriott for redemption from DW's account.Who are they to say you are not female? And simply judging by a voice no less? Threaten a lawsuit.

They called, and think they're talking to Sara/Chaya/Mushka/Francine/Whoever, so send ID to prove it. Done.

I booked Sheraton Tel Aviv for 2 nights - 28k SPG and completely forgot about it and wasn't emailed any confirmations before my stay. I ended up staying the Ritz.See if they'll rebook you for a different night. Then cancel... Alot easier to get a hotel to rebook a missed stay for free than actually waiving the no show free ime.

ETA: I believe the below post was was somewhat related, but I remember seeing more on it. @PillanSmye should be able to clarify.
You want a SINGLE card to be reporting a $2 balance on your credit reports at all times. Doesn't matter if it is the same card every month.
You do NOT want to use a Chase card, because when you PIF Chase they will force a mid-cycle update to the CRA's (one of Chase's most awesome features IMO, just doesn't help for the FICO geeking method).
You do NOT want to use a Disco card and leave $3, because then you are giving up the $24 Disco pays you every year to have their card. Always leave $2 on your Disco card before the statement cuts, so Disco will write it off and report a $0 balance.

anyway life moved on and I discovered ddf 
of course I was very disappointed for being duped like that....Anyway last week I decided on a whim to call up chase: can I pretty please have those points back ?
I got a good rep , with a bad English and asked nicely that I want those points for travel , can she reverse the transaction?
She had a few questions for me a. When am I gonna use the points if she gives it back b. On which airline c. Do I also want her to transfer the points from csp to the fu or do I have enough for my ticket 🤨🤨(I told her no, thank you very much)
Anyway she said she’s sending the request to support and I should expect an answer in 10-14 days... she was very nice and apologizing the whole time, and had no clue about ur
I waited with bated breath , and yesterday finally I saw YES they were back!!! (They did debit my acct for $320)

Not using UR (CSR) to book excursions. Man have I been throwing money down the drain!!!
Does it cost more to go through UR, or is it same price as everywhere else?

Only started recently.Thanks, I feel better now. :)
Does it cost more to go through UR, or is it same price as everywhere else?It varies. I have seen it both ways.
Isnt UR generally more valuable when transferring to partners?The only partner more valuable for me is Hyatt. Up to now Hyatt and car rental has been my only use.

When I tried to return the item I was met with an error message, and after chatting with amazon I was told that not only is this a non-returnable item just that, but being that it was bought with some of my promotional credit, that is also non-refundable (HUCA did not help). So now I'm stuck with this chocolate (kosher so it'll still be delicious) but a waste of money.

transfered 31k to LM for a 31k flight, I forgot that I had 1k in there from testing it right when it was added as an MR partner. I feel like I will always have 1k in the accountI donated 1 mile to charity last year to extend, now I have an orphan 999 sitting there for good.

TIA

Not sure if this is a dumb mistake or a pet peeve. Staples cancelled my Lowe's GC orders yesterday (both the original online order as well as the subsequent phone order), but the charges are still pending. My available credit is now below $400 so I'm unable to hit up OM for the VGC promo :(Time for more cards.

You can split payment to charge the amount of your available credit to the card you want to use and pay the rest some other way.

A few months ago I booked a wonderful romantic getaway for thanksgiving weekend November 20-24 with the mrs, with great air fares (watched for weeks) and a 4 night price matched stay (with Citi prestige concierge for 25% off in addition to the price match 25% off) at the best hotel at the intended location.If I were you I would keep it. All you lose is one day of work, while you gain much less crowds wherever you're going, much better pricing, much less chance of crowded and cancelled flights, with more rebooking options if something goes wrong.

I arbitrarily opted to upgrade my card but not hers, and I've since completed the spend and received the bonus.
Now that the offer has expired, I notice that DW is only a few $k short of $60k spend in 2019 -- meaning that she could've received an extra weekend night upon hitting $60k (whereas I've only spent ~$20k on the card).
Hopefully they'll re-target her before 2019 ends.

DW and I were both targeted for upgrade offers from HH surpass to aspire.

I assumed the count to $60k would reset upon product changing but the graphic online suggests otherwise
except if you click through it will tell you you received it already. at least in my case. Either way this one has not been so clear cut so dont feel too bad. Im still trying to nail down the exact science going on here.
