Opened a checking account funded by CC with $500 opening bonus.  One of the bonus requirements was 10 swipes.  By accident only made 9 through Amazon and Square.  Noticed my mistake the day after the swipes were due in by.

I know this is JS and everything, but I just realized my SPG sign up bonus spend deadline is today. Anything I can do besides just referring to this as a dumb mistake?
Yes.  Buy lots of vgc

Said he only made 9 swipes and needed 10. You want to dispute a swipe that wasn't made? What am I missing?

Forgot to check my ink statement to see that I hit the $50k bonus limit and purchased MCGC at Staples last week.

Thankfully the store only had 4 cards left otherwise would have bought a lot more and totally missed out on a lot more 5x.

For the first time in almost 3 years I made a preventable blatant mistake. Helping my brother no less. UGH!
Waste of a credit pull basically...

Drove out to a Target in Colorado to buy a REDcard this past January and loaded it with funds during that initial purchase. Lost out on months of MS because I never registered it (and therefore could not reload it). And now it's too late.
