just realized that I accidentally let my Marriott 7 Night Partial Package Category 1-5 Hotels expire. if you remember this came with the 90,000 SPG points transfer that gave the SW CP and the week at Marriott. it expired a week ago...on hold with them now. anything I can do? anyone experience this?
TIA

Putting a Hilton resort room rate on my Ascend card instead of Aspire.

Not sure if this is a dumb mistake or a pet peeve. Staples cancelled my Lowe's GC orders yesterday (both the original online order as well as the subsequent phone order), but the charges are still pending. My available credit is now below $400 so I'm unable to hit up OM for the VGC promo :(

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.
