Not exactly the travel credit, but at any rate thought people might like to know that in Israel, the "Tzarchaniya / צרכניה" vending machines count for 3x points for dining.  These are those refrigerator-style machines (like a jumbo-sized hotel minibar, swipe CC to unlock the door) that sell sandwiches, salads, pasta, yogurt, crackers, etc.

Prepaid ezpass works fine for the 99% of people.

The amex plat thread was full of a 4 letter word, so it had to go.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

Quick question for you all....I searched the boards but couldn't find an answer....
CSR is $450 for signer & $75 for AU.
Does AU also get $300 in Travel Benefits?
I don't think so but I've been wrong before....thanks!

"LESS IS MORE" It is the cumulative effect that kills deals!!! How many times do I have to say this?  >:(

I have my NY EZpass on auto reload every $25. The first 4x ($25x4=$100) it reloaded I got credit right away. It has reloaded at least another 8x ($25x8=$200) since then. And I have yet to see the credit.

Anyone have experience that the credit takes time?
Or any DP regarding EZpass NY refill stop working?

If you read the last couple of posts, you'd have your answer.
