I mailed in a $5,000 money order to Amex in CA. USPS is delaying the delivery. Bill is do tomorrow, will just paying the minimum due on a business account affect my credit or credibility with Amex in any way?

not that I know of. But they will charge you interest

you can call them explain what happened and they should be able to reverse any interest or late fee charges

Credit Cards / Re: Chase Sapphire Reserve

« on: September 16, 2020, 04:37:39 AM »

I bought 4 cans of stain for my deck from Home Depot to finish my half started job at night.
   While I bought the same color as my first few cans, I went ahead with my roller and finished the rest of the deck that night.
  I wake up in the morning to find my deck 2 different colors.

 What happened was, HD mixed up the color accidentally and now I have a multi colored deck.

 I went back to HD and they told me oh I'm sorry there's nothing we can do as the cans are empty, should you have come back with the full cans we could have gave you a refund.( Well da sherlock if I had a full can.)

  While I happened to have used my Chase Sapphire reserve card for the purchase I tried to file a claim for the stain but was turned down.

 Does it make sense that they don't cover paint/stain?

  Then they told me oh we don't have that feature of Return Protection.

  That was fake news as the card account shows that as one of the benefits.

 Now at this point which one of the benefits would you guys go with for this stain?

Return Protection
You can be reimbursed for eligible items that the store won’t take back within 90 days of purchase, up to $500 per item, $1,000 per year.*

Or

Purchase Protection
Covers your new purchases for 120 days against damage or theft up to $10,000 per claim and $50,000 per year.*


  (Trying to help out a friend, don't know why he was turned down.)

if its less then $100 definitely dispute the charge (you did not get the item you paid for) if its more i would also go with a dispute but it could  take more time and you could not win

Just got this email from a school for חינוך מיוחד

אישורי מעבר - אין צורך לא לתלמידים/הורים ולא לצוות באישורי מעבר כיוון שמותר לצאת למקומות עבודה חיוניים. אם נשאלים בדרכים צריך להגיד שאתם עובדים בבית ספר לחינוך מיוחד / מסיעים את הילד לבית ספר לחינוך מיוחד

ולא תהיה כל בעיה לעבור גם מעיר לעיר.

translation to English
it will not be nearly as bad as pesach!

Again, this says nothing about what it was like when there were 200 cases a day.

i was here and would say it was about the same. however recently i am seeing more people not covering their nose.

You can always tell them you have a טיפול רפואי and they are not allowed to ask questions. Worked for me over pesach.
