I don't have any pure Amex cards, just co-branded. I don't think I get Shoprunner on those, but let me know if I am wrong. I was just looking through the catalog last night to see what I was planning to order and thinking last year there were good Amex offers by Black Friday and hoping they would show up again.


If your insurance covers, let me know. Annual enrollment is going on now and I'll sign up Ever since I hurt my knee 2 years ago, I can walk all over but standing still for even 10 minutes just kills it. We have stand up meetings at work and I sit down for those!

The Bonvoy Amex cards have shoprunner. Take a look under the benefits section on your login.

I just have the spg biz and I was able to get Shoprunner. Though I ended up not using it because it upped the price when I added it. i think that was on ebags.

Interesting offer from Capital One this morning.

Did you know your Contactless Capital One® Venture® Visa® card allows you to simply tap to pay for your purchases? Tapping to pay isn’t just fast, easy and secure—it can also earn you up to a $30 bonus when you tap to pay 3 times each month through January 31, 2020. You don’t need to register or enroll to receive your bonus.

I don't pay much attention to "tap to pay". I've seen it at Costco. Where else?

Aldi and Walgreens for sure. Maybe Target, I know they have new terminals but I always use my Target card so haven’t paid much attention.

OMG! The carbonite roaster!!!

That is from DSs least favorite SW scene ever.

I don't think this was shared here yet:
DISCOVER CARD HAS RELEASED THEIR 5% CASHBACK CALENDAR FOR 2020:

• Q1 (January–March): Grocery Stores, Walgreens and CVS
• Q2 (April–June): Gas Stations, Uber, Lyft & Wholesale Clubs
• Q3 (July–September): Restaurants and PayPal
• Q4 (October–December): Amazon.com, Walmart.com and Target.com

Obligatory link to DoC:
https://www.doctorofcredit.com/discover-announces-full-2020-5-cashback-calendar/

I will be using my Serve Card a lot in Q1. Also liking Q2.

I closed my personal plat. I feel a little sad but not as sad as I would if I were paying the $550 AF lol. I waited til Nov 1 though to cancel so my Nov Uber credit posted

See above. Use Discover Q1 & 2 for Uber GCs.

And in other financial aspects I'd like to purchase our second vehicle. We've pretty much settled on a Honda Pilot but haven't decided if we want pre 2016 or the newer style.

My sister has a Pilot. She bought a Toyota hybrid (Forerunner?) when her twins were born as she had 3 kids under 3. She ended up getting rid of it because she couldn’t fit 3 forward facing car seats in one row across. She can in the Pilot. I thinks hers is a 2010 and going strong.

I have Marriott and Hilton cards only. At least the Hilton has ShopRunner but I think they all do.

Ever since I hurt my knee 2 years ago, I can walk all over but standing still for even 10 minutes just kills it.

My knee is like that too. Standing or sitting too long is bad. When I first start walking after sitting or standing too long, I limp. Moving is ok. Although all the walking at WDW eventually gets to me.

I have a friend asking me about Chase travel cards. She isn't interested in opening and closing accounts, just wants a good travel card with "perks." She asked me about the CSP and I advised her to look at the CSR. Probably losing a support click...

View attachment 449507

I did the same 2x recently. And 2 other friends applied for CSP (I don't have) so I had the use my BIL support link. I'm a good friend AND a good SIL!

Funny story (to me at least). Made it to Orlando today, and decided to have a pre-race meal at my favorite restaurant, Jiko! So before dinner I’m sitting at Victoria Falls having a drink and catching up on stuff, and I see that Ryno tweeted 9 minutes ago with a cast compliment for Victoria at Victoria Falls. So I look around and yep, one of the servers is named Victoria (awesome synergy!). I’m not sure if Ryno was still there, I looked around but couldn’t see him. But I did show the tweet to Victoria, who was so excited! It was her first cast compliment Fun stuff.

My SW personal card had a tracker. Didn't have one for the SW Biz I don't think. Definitely didn't have one for my CIP which I got around the same time as my SW personal, so it's still hit or miss whether you get one or not with Chase.

No tracker option for AmEx.

@alryan @stitchfan18
I can confirm that my SW Bus has a tracker as well.

 

[SouthFayetteFan]

I was denied...

AHEM... you were denied for what??? (Let us not forget the discretion we are attempting to exercise here)

Please consider editing (removing) this. This is DISchurners ONLY material and has been widely reported/discussed on the News thread over there.

Rewind, I just called Vero Beach and the pool areas will be open for our visit. They are closing in September 2020 TUJ storm's over.

I just finished my MSR on my AA Citi Biz. When the points post in 3 weeks I'll be booking business class out of LHR on BA{knock on wood for availability}. I'm halfway through my Blue business MSR. The taxes from booking the prementioned flight should come close to finishing it off. You gotta love depart taxes out of London.
I'm currently working on my AU bonuses from my Gold card. I got the 5k from my DH's. I think I'll use my 15-year-olds card to buy the drink package on our upcoming royal cruise. That just seems so weird, but it covers the 500 dollars.

I'll be eligible to apply for the CIP on Jan 30. I may have to wait a month or two. I have a European cruise that has to be paid by Jun 2. It's hard for me to put 5k on a credit card in 3 months without a travel spend. I guess not having a lot of bills is a good thing.

Any AmEx issued personal or biz card should be good for Shoprunner. I think it's generally just corporate cards that aren't. You'd sign up here: https://www.shoprunner.com/enroll/americanexpress

According to DOC, he thinks it might be ok. You can prepay Verizon up to $500. My charge hit this morning. I'll post if I get a notification of using my offer.

I haven't gotten any notice from Chase on the Xfinity Home offer. Fingers crossed, it's been about a week.

The Chase offers are slow. I just got one credited that I did late September.

We did the Bernina Express this past summer - it was absolutely gorgeous! The panorama cars can be quite hot in the summer, though, with the sun streaming through the huge windows. The Man in Seat 61 is a great resource for all of the Swiss trains.

(We love trains, and actually did the Gotthard route, Voralpen Express, Glacier Express, and Golden Pass line in addition to the Bernina Express (and a bunch of other train trips). What a beautiful country!)

Just did a super quick review of this site and oh man, I think this trip just got moved up a couple of years. I need more vacation, I need a career move. I want freedom to move about the world.

My first month of FINALLY understanding it’s ok to have multiple credit cards and here’s how it went:
October
P1
*Barclay Aviator MSR hit (1 purchase) I started out easy
*Citi AA Biz $2100 into 3k MSR
*60k AA miles posted

P2
*CSP MSR finished 65k UR
*Barclay Aviator MSR hit
*Citi AA Biz MSR done
*Took 5k RR SW offer to upgrade from Plus to Priority. Still waiting for card. 1 purchase to get miles. AF already refunded from Plus.
*123k AA Miles posted in 1 month. Boom

November
P1
Finish Citi MSR this week
App for Platicorn

P2
?
MSR for my Platicorn will require us both to use the card without causing stress or unnecessary spending. But there’s always Christmas.

In another week we should be sitting on 240k AA Miles for Italy next Fall. For a rookie, I’m happy with that!

My dd would die to see Elvis Stich!

He was having fun making the pumpkin change from orange to silver on my shirt. He's on top of the pumpkin which he also really liked.

Would also like to add that as a Dental Hygienist I know not to talk about politics or religion with my patients. Now I’m adding using credit cards for there bonuses and perks to that list. HOLY COW people think I’m going to end up in financial ruin. Soo..that kind of “crazy” talk I’ll have to save for here! Haha! People are PASSIONATE about the DANGERS of credit cards.

And yet, they always want to hear about my latest travels.

 

[Alice Sr.]

I’ve used this for the last few trips and it does a really nice job holding a couple backpacks on top of my suitcase.

Thanks, I just ordered one.

 

[Judique]

Nope!! Just checked the listing and it’s not original. Boo!!! Ok, whew, saving money now lol

Regarding the hitch hiking ghosts, I just pulled a ticket off the paper that UCT sends with the hard tickets. I was surprised to see 3 hitch hiking ghosts on the front. I bought these tickets in 2017, and had just left them in the plastic sleeve. Was going to buy a new AP, but after looking at my ticket stash decided I'd use a 7 day and try to upgrade it to an AP.
