Credit Cards / Re: chase offering miles or credit to retain after first year

« on: November 15, 2011, 09:24:08 PM »

i recently posted a question  regarding churning or staying  after the first year when up for renewal
i called chase regarding my CONTINENTAL  card  to cancel they offered me a choice of either miles or credit in order not to cancel the card i took the credit  figured will offset the 85.00 fee
 

I called when I got my renewal and said that I didn't have a chance to use the card (except for the $1 charge to get the 50,000 pts which I didn't share with them) and they waived the renewal fee for me. I think I must have gotten a new csr or I was very lucky.

Credit Cards / Re: Spend $200 online with mastercard and get a $20 mastercard gc

Do you think that paying a cable, cellphone or house phone bill online will count?

Can anyone venture a guess??

Just Shmooze / Re: What is FR?

I'm sorry I angered so many of you by asking a simple question. FR was not on the wiki that was originally created.
I thought this forum was supposed to help people-not destroy them or make them feel worse by asking than not knowing!

I hate to sound ignorant  - but what is FR? Is there also a place to go on the forum for a list of acronyms and abbreviations?

I've been reading posts and YMMV keeps on popping up. I don't want to sound ignorant but I can't figure out what YMMV stands for. Can somebody please enlighten me?
Thank you.

Credit Cards / Do you get to keep your 50,000 MRP and $200 airline credit if you cancel

« on: June 09, 2011, 09:02:25 AM »

Does anyone know if amex lets you keep the 50,000 points and $200 airline credit if you cancel within 60 days and don't pay the $450 fee? How long does it take amex to credit the 50000 points once you charge the $1000 threshold?

Credit Cards / using the $200 credit on the amex platinum card to buy A"A gift cards

« on: June 07, 2011, 07:48:08 PM »

Does anyone know if you can still buy $200 worth of A"A gift cards and get the $200 credited back to your platinum card. When I called A"A they said gift cards do not qualify for the reimbursement. Also, if the gift cards do qualify can you buy 4 $50 gift cards in one purchase or do you have to buy them in 4 separate purchases? A"A charges a $4.95 fee for shipping each gift card when you buy them separately.

General Discussion / blockbuster free trial

« on: December 19, 2010, 10:15:29 PM »

Can you sign for the 4 week trial if you already signed and used the last 4 week trial offered? I tried to sign up again using a different email and different CC – a message appeared that I already had a blockbuster online membership and did I want to reinstate it. They had no mention that I would get the 4 weeks free again.
