They sell Xbox GC, credit works for it.
What are ppl using their Dell $200 on?
I have no use for xbox GC.
Random accessories?
Common sense is not a gift, it is a punishment.
Because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

I just wanted to note @Dan's great thread and experimentation on utilizing the streaming credits for amex plat cards (https://www.dansdeals.com/credit-cards/using-amex-consumer-platinum-cards-streaming-credit-amazon-gift-cards/) and of course can't wait to see all the hundreds of yokels who dont read/dont read with comprehension and will buy the kindle books instead of sending as gifts and wonder where their credits are :).

How is it possible to order stamps from the USPS (for the shipping credit) if their website doesn't allow to create an account?  Any way around this?

Any way to save the $15 monthly Uber credit for use after the month is over?

I think you used to be able to book a ride using your $15 credit and cancel and then the refund would go back to Uber cash with no expiry, but I just tried that and it still shows as $15 Uber credit, not Uber cash.

Would this work for $250 Hilton Aspire Airline credit.

1) Purchase Delta fare $275 or so using a $50 Delta GC (to keep the amount charged sub$250).

Step 2) Cancel for E-Credit due to Covid. Do I need to wait til after 24 hours to cancel to avoid the funds being reinstated on the  credit card instead of E-Credit? How long do these ECredits take to show up?

Or any other good ideas for these Airline Credits at this time?

I just got the offer recently and used it for myself. The way I got it: I checked prequalified offers and it poped up!

Sure, you should get the card in a couple of days and then have around 2 weeks to spend.

Doc has reports of people calling in for the 100k for 10k spend on personal... Anyone here try it?
I had a platinum around 5 years ago, would a popup come to the agent saying I am not eligible...?
