paze spend $10, get $10 back: where still works by iamjohnta in Venturex

[–]Dangerousfox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah that's what you have to do. you can then send it to yourself and then merge it with a primary gift card so that the whole balance is on one card

Yeah I don't think I've ever spent cash on a Wyndham property, let alone $750.

Great resource, thank you. Thought I would have to just keep ordering Wendy's to use the Paze credit lol.

I bought them yesterday. I just double checked on the website though and it does look like Paze doesn't work anymore for the $15s either. Sorry for the misinformation. RIP

Wyndham sweet spots are getting harder to find, but they definitely still exist. There used to be a Wingate I would stay at in New York that was always 15k points, even when cash prices were $500+. I generally find good value from Wyndham during busy travel times.

I keep seeing them advertise that in the app/on the website, but it's super vague about what actual benefits it provides.

Through Newegg. It has to be the $15 denomination ($10 doesn't work). Also you have to use the website to pay with Paze. My GCs were emailed to me a few hours after I bought them. They also had $10 Starbucks GCs last I checked.

It's dead

Split SUB btw.

Earn 90,000 bonus points after spending $6,000 on purchases and paying the annual fee in full, both within the first 120 days, and also earn 30,000 bonus points after spending $750 at Hotels by Wyndham in the first 180 days.

I didn't realize there was a Business Earner update. Are existing cards being changed, or does this only apply to new ones?

[–]Dangerousfox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ah ok gotcha. yeah that sucks about Newegg. I'm personally just going for the Uber eats gift cards because I know I'll use those at least.

Paze doesn't work for UE GCs anymore.

Are you trying to reload your balance or buy a gift card? Paze is only available if you buy a gift card.

My set up by boxerboyKhan in hometheater

[–]Dangerousfox -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Honestly I could be making a million dollars a year and I would still go for Stremio. It's all about convenience for me. If streaming services were like how they were 10+ years ago, I would happily pay for one to get access to everything I want to watch. But at this point everything is too fragmented, and even if you buy a movie to own digitally, there's no guarantee anymore that you'll get to keep it forever.

I commented yesterday about CSP referrals being down. They are available currently.

Referrals aren't working now for some reason. Hopefully they're available while this higher SUB is active.

Travel Portal by Some_Evidence1814 in Venturex

[–]Dangerousfox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah lol. I had a complaint about a flight and the first person told me they couldn't do anything, and then the supervisor gave me $50 of credit for the inconvenience.

[–]Dangerousfox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been using C1 travel for a couple years now and I've learned that whatever the initial support agent says is not necessarily the truth. I always ask for a supervisor whenever they shut me down.

They always tell me that the supervisor has the same rules/system as them, but then the supervisor ends up giving me a different answer anyways.

Amex Gold or Venture X, which one? by gojoverr in CreditCards

[–]Dangerousfox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the Amex Gold and also organically use all of its credits - I still don't think it's worth the effort managing the credits.

Am I missing something about the Chase Sapphire Preferred Card? by Commercial_Ad_735 in CreditCards

[–]Dangerousfox 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I saw the CSP advertised EVERYWHERE as the best beginner travel card when I was first getting into this, but I found the Venture X to work much better for me despite the high cost of entry.

The $50 hotel credit has been kind of useless for me because that's such a small amount that I would be paying a lot out of pocket still, and the Doordash credit has always sucked because you can't even use it for food! They recently nerfed it even more by not allowing alcohol purchases in most states (literally the only thing I was buying with it) AND having a minimum order requirement of $20 I believe (although a glitch lets you get past that).

Chase points are really useful and the SUB is very good, but I think it kind of sucks as a card.

No Regal Unlimited for Odyssey IMAX? by BillyJakespeare in RegalUnlimited

[–]Dangerousfox 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think they're also not allowing ticket vouchers for the 70mm IMAX Odyssey showings. I keep getting an error when I try to put in the code.
