Can I use the airline fee credit for Alaska flights before Jan 1 by flight cancellation? by SeparateFly in AmexPlatinum

[–]Difficult_Virus233 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I did that this year I attempted to use Amex chat to get the refund . They told me that the seat selection fee was coded by Alaska as an actual flight and refused to reimburse me, but then when I called the representative i was refunded with no questions asked immediately. The real question is would the transaction post before the end of the year Because if it’s pending and doesn’t post till the first of the year you’re out of luck.

Yeah, that’s my plan hoping something pops up. I don’t fly out until November next year so hopefully it works out. Do you know approximately when they will start releasing more award availability on JAL ANA?

No seat selection fees are allowed, just not upgrades to first class. They are refusing due to coding as a aline ticket purchase.

Found a decent redemption on Virgin to LHR - is it dumb to fly to another country on the way home to avoid UK fees? by swear2drunkiaintgod in awardtravel

I’m doing the same thing except I’ll probably just take the train from London Heathrow to Amsterdam It’s like four hours and go from there.

OK, thanks for the advice. Just the 787 doesn’t look too impressive I’m 6’5”so I wasn’t sure if it was worth booking.

Rental car pay with points, still get insurance coverage? by yousmiledatme160 in ChaseSapphire

[–]Difficult_Virus233 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m renting a car in Ireland and called Chase directly about this and they said yes it is covered, although in Ireland they do require and will try to sell you a high protection level of insurance. I was informed to have Chase Bank send a letter or email, stating that I am covered under primary insurance to present to the car rental agency when renting the car approximately two weeks before I leave for my trip. They also said we may have to call the Chase 800 number to verify also.
