When I apply, I take a screen shot of the offer. I keep them all in 1 folder on my desktop. I name them with the date of the application and the cc name (and husband or my initial).
Makes it easy to refer back to, and easy to see when I'm logged onto my account to check on my spending.

If you paid with a Chase card, just call them up show it on the bill and tell them that you didn't get credit. Works all the time. Is it ethical?

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!!!
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?
That's my social commentary for tonight. Peace.

My 10 year old understood when I told him the rules, 15 and over. Honestly, I think he would have loved it, but it's okay, you can't give kids everything they want. Like the Rebbe Rashab used to lock the temimim out sometimes during a maamar so that they would have to strain to listen at the door. :-)

@CV It was a stupid joke, but I don't see anything racist/stereotyping about it. Unless it's wrong to state the fact that poor people (the demographic of their average customer) buys lotto tickets at a much higher rate than the rest of the population. Saying they should cater better to their main demographic is racist/stereotyping?

If you ever go to Harlem I would not use the term "ghetto-@ss" there. ;)
-
Oh sorry, I didn't realize that the idea of ghettos was started in Harlem. I was under the impression that some cities in the country where you live, like in Warsaw, had salt 70 years ago what I understood to be a ghetto.
Ps, I've been in the ghetto, and they had no problem using those terms around me. That along with the N word, though the N word became an accepted racist term while the other hasn't.
-
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. :)

@CV Personally, I think it's racist to suggest that I'll get sliced for saying something that certain people may not like.
-

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. :)

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.

And I'll say once again, the point of these seminars is a bekiyos/girsa style to show the incredible breadth of what is possible. And hopefully inspire people to dig deeper and leave their misconceptions behind. 99.9% of people learn something new.
It sounds like you were looking for a deep iyun shiur. Like I said I can spend hours on any of the the 128 slides in the powerpoint. But the market for that is tiny and everyone would want it given on a different slide.
So unless I'm opening a mileage university with 128 different courses I don't see how it would be feasible.

I didn't cancel my United card before the renewal date bec I was taking an international trip with United within the 2 month grace period.
Came back crazy Jet lagged. And forgot to call to cancel. Remembered 2 Days too late!
Hucad a bunch of times. Sent messages, no way to get the 395 back.
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.
Only reason I even kept it open was for the benefits.

I lost a temp MVD that I registered, but for some reason it never loaded the permanent card. Thankfully after many, many phone calls I recovered the $500.
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.

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.

I don't know if this is considered "playing these games" but I think this might take the cake! For some odd reason I thought that the Teaneck seminar was tonight and drove up there from Brooklyn. When I got there I was surprised to be the first to arrive! Oh well I guess if I would stayed the night perhaps I would have been the first indeed!

I was $0.58 away from earning a $10 Maxperks reward. Didn't realize that the spend requirement resets at the beginning of each new quarter :-(

Friend once came to the airport and went ballistic when he found out he doesn't have a ticket until the agent decided to look at the next day's flight and found him there...

My parents were once flying JFK-TLV and the Elal security screener kept giving him funny looks.
"What's your name?"
"Mark"
"Do you have a Hebrew name?"
"Menachem"
"Maybe a different one?"
Finally my father realizes he took my brother's passport. Luckily they live close to JFK and were able to have someone bring it in time.

Thank ya'll i'm feeling a little better now knowing that I am in good company!

Kinda reminds me of when we were going on a family trip to Israel and my brother pulls up to the airport, opens his trunk to get his suitcases, and it is empty... :o
Luckily JFK isn't too far from BK.

I just made a goof. On my platinum card. In early Dec I bought a $200 united GC. no credit. I checked the platinum wiki and it recommended buying 2 $100 GCs, so I bought 2 $100 GCs. still no credit.
Jan 1, I changed my airline and bought 2 Delta seat upgrades for a friend at $99 each. Jan 4 - credit.
I was worried the GCs still didn't qualify for the credit, then it hit me!
I checked my on-line statement for the whole 2013. Guess what? I already used the 2013 credit when I opened the card!
So I'm now the proud owner of $400 worth of united GCs.

On one of my first cards I thought the spend by date was based on the date you received the card and not based on the date you were accepted. I missed the official date by two days and citi gave me 30k instead of 50k after A lot of time on the phone.

Great minds think alike. :D
If there's something you bought and they didn't charge you the $500, I wouldn't worry too much. ;D Yea, I know, sometimes you wonder about your sanity. But playing these games in general makes me question my sanity.

It's basic A Rat In The House May Eat The Ice Cream (arithmetic)! How do I mess up arithmetic?? How do I think I am adding up to over 5k and then it's 4,600? Are there statement gremlins?

Why does everyone want to hit the spend right on the head? Any why isn't the spend completed in the first few days?

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.

Old thread. Feeling newly dumb (and a bit anxious).
I just bid on a rental car with Priceline. I wanted to try out a price, so I put in a fictitious name and used an empty GC. BUT THE GC WASN'T EMPTY!!! So I now have a good priced rental car reserved not in my name! I hope I can use it.

Call up priceline, sometimes it is possible to cancel the RSVP, try Google for excuses. I have a friend who has cancelled them before.

Call up priceline, sometimes it is possible to cancel the RSVP, try Google for excuses. I have a friend who has cancelled them before.
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.
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?
-
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?" :-[

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.

I wouldn't make myself crazy for 2700 points, but if it could get done easily, why not.

No warning. IIRC it was about 50k points.
There weren't any points that hadn't posted AFAIK because I haven't been using the card lately.

Thank you for contacting Chase about the rewards on your
closed Sapphire Preferred card.
Please be informed that as per your rewards program any
unredeemed rewards gets forfeited due to the closure of
the account. Hence, your unredeemed reward points have
been forfeited and are no longer available for redemption
or transfer. I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience
this may cause you.
Help!!

I'm guessing this might be more of an over the phone kind of thing. I've found that reps have an easier time saying no to a computer screen than to a person.

Maybe try calling and say that you never asked to close the account, you only wanted to downgrade and there was a miss-communication.

Looks like that was regarding shifting the CL. But I can ask when I call them.
Has anyone ever done this successfully?

CSR was very nice, he tried to reinstate the points but couldn't so he reinstated the account and told me that the points will come back automatically in 7-10 days.

That's why I plan on calling.
Just called back. They were willing to transfer $1401 of my $2500 and then I closed the card. Thanks for the advice.

@etec0,
What's the end of your story?
-
Just wondering about this whole parsha about closing your SP before switching out the points... if you downgrade a SP to a Freedom, would that cause any problems? I just downgraded my SP to a Freedom a few weeks ago. I hadn't switched out the points for maybe a month or two. Now your story got me wondering.

You're good.
If you'll want to transfer the points to a FF partner you'll have to transfer it first to your or your spouses UR card that has a $95 AF

From comments on FTG
1. Once trying to change my voice to sound like my wife to ask for a fee waiver: Rep: "Ma'am, Do you have a cold, or is this really Mr. ----"?" Me: "Click". I did call back with my wife 5 minutes later to do it right.
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".)

Do those cards all have the same UPC? If so, make a note of it and then if you can't find the card, the cashier could probably type in the UPC.

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
-
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?

Chase told me last week you only have up to 60 days from the date the fee posted to get it back.

I did ask them if I could reopen the account and they said no. 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.

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.

If your grocery is accommodating enough to let you carry a balance, maybe they can also clean up your mistake by refunding the Platinum and charging the PRG.

They would be able to add on the leg but...they would need to issue a whole new ticket at the current availability. So I wouldn't get the discounted rate (140k) I booked originally. I would need an additional 165K :( Make sense?

I churned the UMPE, and forgot to create a new FFN. I just got 36k credited to my old account. :'(
Is there anything I can do to get the 55k + $50? Can I use the miles or sell them?

I thought it's to get matched to 55k + $50.
Should I try for that? Or quit while I'm ahead?

No, it's to make sure you get the sign up bonus. I imagine you're "ahead" now and lucky, but I don't know if trying to match will end up backfiring.

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.

You only see the new posts, and have to 'hold kup' as you dont see the entire thread.
You also dont need to keep opening up threads.

By far the stupidest thing I've done is to open 2 Us Airways cards and a M&M card and close them all.
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.

I don't think a reopen causes a hard pull. But even if it does, it may be worth it to get back in Barclay's good graces. You can use that day for an app-o-ramma.

My number one of all time was a card I passed on. >:(
It was the ST card that is no longer available for new applicants. This is hands down the best card for airline tickets (Delta). Not only does it blow every other card out of the water it blows away most glitches!

I needed to book a flight in the summer from Phl to Jax for myself and three kids. Even though there was saaver availibity with aa I couldn't find anything on ba so I just booked on aa. (Being as it is a stopover in clt I figured it wasn't a great loss.)
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.
I feel stupid!

If you provided your Staples Rewards number at checkout, it should be listed in your purchase history http://rewards.staples.com/SRC/ViewPurchaseDetails.do even if you did not opt to get an email.
If you paid by credit card, the store could probably pull it up by searching with your credit card number and they could reprint the receipt.

If you paid by credit card, the store could probably pull it up by searching with your credit card number and they could reprint the receipt.
not showing up online, I'll go in store hopefully they'll be able to pull up the transaction with my cc, thanks!

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.

Seriously? How much did that failed attempt cost you?
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!

Seriously. $67.85 to get there. 7500 BA Avios plus about $45 to get back.
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.

That 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.

The WMT near me lets me do up to $3000 a day, not bad, I would not do more anyway.

I just had a big scare! I thought that I forgot to cancel a ticket within 24 hours.
It would have been $440 down the drain - or just the $300 or so cancellation fee.
Whew!! I had cancelled it.

Called Marriott for redemption from DW's account.
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)?

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.
The hotel charged me $280 and says they could only waive the $280 fee if they redeposit the points.
Is it possible to get everything back? Any tips?

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.

Seems like they refunded the points. And they offered to waive the $280 charge if they get to keep the points.

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.

So here’s a story about a dumb mistake I made. Has a happy ending though
.
So , my first cc was a FU, of course since it’s billed as a cashback card I made the mistake that probably a lot of noobs make...I redeemed 32k for cash back 
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)
So cheers 🥂 here’s to 32k ur !!!

After receiving a $20 bag of chocolates from Amazon, my wife and I were confused as to who ordered this item. After all no one has access to our Prime account and none of us ordered it. Upon further investigation I realized that my 4 yr old son ordered it from Alexa. Reading the history prompts I saw "I want chocolate" (I believe he meant to ask Alexa to play a song about chocolates). Next thing we know there's a package of chocolates at our door.
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.

You only need to spend $300 for the promo. 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.
Realized today that thanksgiving weekend is nov 28. Now I gotta figure out how to unwind it all :)! 10s of hours of meticulous planning, but never checked the official calendar (hebcal is my go to page :()

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.
So tell DW you did it on purpose. And then the following week show her all the articles of millions sleeping at the airport when AA cancelled their flights. ;D

I Booked 2 consecutive flights on JetBlue (Mosaic). I decided take the 2nd one, but forgot to cancel the 1st one. I remembered when my phone notified me that it had just taken off!
I immediately called the Mosaic line feeling really stupid, but they were able to cancel and refund as it was still in their system.

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

Multiple DPs of this not working so dont feel so bad. Then again multiple data points of a lot of funny things happening with upgrades so :-\

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.

Had a large spend coming up decided to go for the Amex Biz gold offer 75k/10k an hour later I got a phone call from amex asking if I still want to apply for a new biz card
(I had called a few days earlier for a better offer then online which only required 10k spend got a firm no then)
He starts offering me the plat 100k/10k I'm so pissed missing out on the better offer for the same spend all by 1 hour. Oh well at least CSR gave me his direct line if I decide to apply eventually.

I put back the nozzle after about 10 gallons - not because I forgot to pump some more, but because I had no place to pump additional gas into.

First, the HACK (discovered by mistake), when you finish the spend requirement on a co-branded Chase Credit Card (at least Bonvoy, but I think others) and the bonus didn't post yet, If you SM Chase they will put it in manually AND when the billing cycle end the system will also add it automatically, resulting in a double bonus.
Now, the MISTAKE, nothing will post until the end of the billing cycle AFTER the spend is completed. I didn't realize that. So, I still only saw 9k points on my account... and I SMed chase again to ask what happened to my points. They looked at my account, and saw that it was double issued but not yet posted, so they took back the extra 100k points :(
