I'm not sure what your doing different, for 2 years straight I have gone for and missed the middle package. This year I had 3 computers 2 people 1 wired in, 2 wireless all of them pretty new, speedy internet connection (34.5 Mbps) and no dice with the middle package.

today. marriott egiftcards at 80%, they resell for around 88% cash. you must figure out how to convert them to physical gift cards in order to sell them (and i assure you it can be done relatively simply  ;) )

Why must you convert them to physical GC's in order to resell?

I don't think any of the resellers buy Marriott egiftcards though I don't mind being proven wrong

for anyone that likes to use marriott points(like me) then this is a great value to pay for the taxes and any other fees

i have never sold gift cards to these sites, but for not such a huge return, not sure i want the risk
if you have sold before and had success, then go for it

How? By "buying" gift cards with the e card?

What risk necessitates a huge return in regard to this?

saveya will give 885 and seemingly you can use ecard.
that's 85 bucks in profit, plus 800 in MS.

Trying to make a booking with my points for Edmonton June 28. It's not on the blackout list for AnyDay rewards, yet it's still trying to charge me the higher amount. Called Hertz and no one could help me. They said they would send an escalation and get back to me in 24-48 hours. Anyone have experience?

Oops again. Not sure it's worth it to shlep the family back to the car rental to/from one of our day trips. I guess I'll just pay cash for the extra day.
Booking my rental for OGG. Will use 7 coupons + 1 day cash.
Should I book a premium @$75/day or a standard @$40/day. How much is the difference in the car? Do I risk anything that my bill will be higher? Off chance the coupons don't work for whatever reason?

If you make the reservation over the phone, then why wouldn't the coupons work?

The biggest risk of renting a premium is in case of an accident.  I always give in the coupons at the end, assuming there's no damage. But if there is damage and you opt to not use the coupons then you'll pay the full premium rate.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Can I use chabad + the coupons?
Anyways, I'll be paying the balance with my CC, isn't that enough to be covered by CC?

Sure.
With Chase the whole balance needs to be on the card IIRC.

AMEX may be different, but then coverage wouldn't be primary unless you pay for premium coverage.

If you research that, let us know.
