Any chance you can trigger the $250 refund when buying tickets using the 1.6 for AA/USA? Has to be done on the phone with them. I'm guessing not, but doesn't hurt to check.  ::)

Only if the TY points doesn't cover the total cost of the ticket.

And presumably only for the portion that you pay cash. So = no. Thanks!

Isn't the car rental insurance only secondary coverage?

It is. Outside the US and Canada your insurance doesn't cover so it's primary.

Got it

Regarding the Priority Pass, how does it work? When I swipe the PP in the lounge, does it charge my Prestige card that Citi reimburses? Or does the charge never post?

No charge. If you bring more than the allowed guests it'll automatically charge your Citi card.

No charge. If you bring more than the allowed guests it'll automatically charge your Citi card.
Also, the priority pass app was updated, now you can show a "virtual card" in the app + a boarding pass and get access without needing the real card. (at most locations, it shows who on the app)

i know they cover CDW worldwide, but did anyone ever have experience w them?
sure they're not as easy to deal w as amex, but are they as slow and annoying as chase's cdw insurance?

Would also like to know. Does this count towards reaching the bonus spending threshold? I'm assuming since it counts as a purchase it should...

That wasn't what I was referring to btw. I am asking when it adjust the AF regardless of which car u used to fund it. But the responses are correct it does count.
