I've had all the regulars in NY/NJ. I think Island Crust Cafe in Seattle is better then them all.

I found that Capital One holds for 3 days with all transfers. Chase and WF were instant.

Smaller transactions were instant for me with Cap 1.

Hi Everyone,

I've been thinking about the Plat card and adding 3 AUs, with a total Annual Fee of  $725. What are some ways you guys use to minimize or subsidized the annual fee? I.E. Buying Groups for Points to Cash / Sell Global Entry/ Etc.

Thanks!

Definitely no reason to pay for AU’s green and golds are free.

FWIW I tried many different versions and IME the Jewish flat ones cooked best.

It’s probably a Jewish seller

I wonder if that would be a problem when it’s fulfilled by Amazon. Not saying it’s not... just wondering.

Yes.

But there's always a chance that it can be delayed for various reasons

Depends on size of transfer... I found that cap1 holds funds for 3 days when over 1k. Didn’t have that with chase.

Baltimore store is stocked, was just there yesterday. Unfortunately not many other shoppers then.

It would be a good idea for Seasons to be 100% open and upfront about the situation and make the effort to send out daily emails / FB status so that people will know before they go. Most people will go elsewhere rather than take a chance that the store won't be stocked. And direct communication is the only way to beat the vicious rumor mill

Couldn’t agree more went there last week for challah, bakery wasn’t stocked. Probably will go elsewhere this week. Not that we have many options here....

they also posted that about their Clifton, Lawrence, Baltimore, and Queens stores. There are plenty of customers to keep all these stores and also the other brand stores alive and healthy.

Clifton is a work in progress... definitely better than it was though.

But now we know that they have the ability and can do it at any time

It would make sense that staples was behind it. That is not a guarantee that it won’t happen with others... but so far so good.

Has ANYTHING other than Staples been clawed back?

i don't believe so, that was hopefully an isolated incident
