I love credit cards so much! v5.0 - 2022 (see first page for add'l details)

Any disadvantage to getting the GC emailed? Or should I get the physical GC's? I usually get most of my GC's either at the grocery or Staples. I then combine all of my Disney GC's online and I am just wondering if the emailed cards make that problematic?

I have had them emailed quite a few times with no issues…then I add them online to a physical gift card I have up to $1,000 and put it aside to pay my DVC dues at the end of the year or use at the parks

All of my and DH’s personal Chase UR earning cards had a 10% back up to $5.00 offer for Shop Disney on them is morning….

Thanks! I had it on my CSP and Hyatt cards. Another $10 off dues....

So if you buy Disney GCs online at Staples and purchase using a CIP it still counts as office supply purchase, right?

I think so. But they add that 1.99 secure shipping fee so I haven't bought any online.

Ah, thanks. What's the max amount you can buy at Stapes/OfficeMax in one visit?

My local Staples only has the $50 Disney gift cards in stock……I’ve purchased 20 at a time

I got an email last night from Amex about being pre approved for the platinum. But that fee.... Is it really worth $700?

Um, no. Only for the bonus and/or if you get a retention offer. But my dad has had a platinum card since the 80s and never uses any of the benefits and keeps paying the annual fee.

It depends.
I make sure to use every coupon available.
I use the Uber credit $200, Saks $100, airline incidentals $200, Audible $240.... would I normally spend my money there? Probably not, but I do use them all. I also use the Wal-Mart credit, I don't usually shop at WM but I did take advantage of it during their BF early access. We did use the Centurion Lounges twice last year, so that did save us money on food at the airport.
If you look at it that way, it might be worth it, just make sure you get a good SUB.

I like getting one mailed once in awhile so I can get a new design. I use the card in the park and it's nice to be able to know to empty the inside out one before starting on seven dwarfs

Has anyone ever done a trip renting a camper/travel trailer/RV? If so, would you recommend the company you used? We’re completely new to this, but DH is finally getting a truck that he’s been talking about for years. Now that he’ll have the hauling capacity, we’re thinking instead of renting an Airbnb for our Outer Banks beach trip this summer, maybe we could rent a travel trailer and camp. Any suggestions appreciated!

Yes, we did it, after we cancelled our anniversary trip to Hawaii in 2020. We used RVShare.com. The person we ended up renting from was just a few miles from us. It's basically Airbnb for motor homes. It was an amazing experience, though not at all cheap. Edited to add, if you are renting a trailer, it's going to be cheaper than what we rented. You can use Cap One Venture miles to cover some of it though, if you have any.

I'm not sure about Disney gift cards but Visa cards are up to 2K.

edit: from the Staples website:

• Included in the gift card purchase price is a $1.99 Secure Shipping Fee. This covers trackable shipping through the US Post Office, to ensure safe arrival
• Staples DOES NOT sell more than $2000 of gift cards in any order due to Federal anti-money laundering regulations
• Redemption: In-Store and Online

$51.99

1 each


So now we know!

I just received our 1099-MISC from Chase. ugh... paying taxes on referrals suck.

 

[CyndiLouWho]

so anyone got the door dash to extend 2 years? what was the trick? mine still says 1/31 expiration.

Mine still says "active" but same expiration date. However when I opened the app yesterday there was a pop up that said Chase extended the expiration date to 2024.

I didn't get the pop up not sure if I should cancel again for the 3rd or 4th time now I just don't want to get charged

I don’t see the pop up on mine either…think I’m just going to let it be for now and see what happens since I did get the email saying it was extended
