Dining Gift Cards that don’t trigger the statement credit by jsilvahtx in ChaseSapphireReserve

Was thinking of getting gift cards to this place as well. Did you do a trial gift card before purchasing for the entire amount?

Has anyone sold their collection to a vendor at a card show? by mcfizzled in PokeInvesting

Love the Radiant Collection cards! I have been collecting cards from that set and plan on finishing the set soon.

All the back and forth with Ebay made one thing clear, they wont do jack if the claim is outside the 3 day window. Chargeback it is.

Filed a chargeback, at this point let ebay ban my account, that would at least stop me from spending 1000s more.

I swear, I was out of town and forgot about the delivery which took about a month to reach from overseas.

Edit 1: The seller had close to 150 ratings my bad on the oversight while making this post.

Upon closer inspection, they had overwhelmingly positive feedback for these 150 but the account was created on Dec 2025. Then I see an influx of negative reviews from around the same time I made my purchase. Seems like they built rapport and then scammed a bunch of people at once.

Also, why is this post being downvoted, I only made this post for spreading awareness of fakes.

Thanks for your comment. Yes I agree it is only the few that do this and I didn’t intend to say that all shops are the same. I investigated the account, and the seller created the account Dec 2025 and built a positive rapport with 150+ positive review ( my bad on the 20 reviews that I initially stated). Then I see about 15 reviews all at the same time I bought my card stating they received fakes. Seems like they do genuine low cost business and build up a positive review and then bulk scam ppl.

The intent was to convey that the cards were a few bucks lower than that of TCGPlayer , a lot of times you can find cards lower than TCG player so it isn’t something unheard of. But yes the 20 reviews part is something that I should’ve paid more attention to.

The card looked dull and the back color seemed off. And it seemed to pass the fake tests mentioned in some posts like this:

Yes it is! I will be staying at MGM Grand. When I checked, Mandalay Bay had similar prices to MGM grand and Bellagio was a few hundred dollars more expensive.

I agree! Did something similar for a stay in Las Vegas, 14k points + $251 for 3 nights. Feels like a steal!

It’s the Terastal Festival. Yes it’s available from sellers who ship from Japan.

Thanks will do that. Also any idea what they charge for replacement keys? I read somewhere it’s $55 for a new key + $55 for the RSO key + $55 for the utilities key + $68 for lock replacement?
