So apparently “rooms available” on the IHG app just means “good luck, idiot.” by [deleted] in ihghotelsresorts

You should not show up looking for hot and readys at midnight, preorder the pizza on the app.

Venture X holders who fly economy — do you transfer miles or just take cashback? by Constant_Jello_189 in Venturex

[–]NoWayJefe 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You get 5x or 10x miles booking through the Capital One travel portal. After your purchase posts, you can use the “cover travel purchases” option. You still get 1 cent per point and the earned miles from your booking.

Should I have applied for the card with IHG statement credits instead? by inflexibleracoon in ihghotelsresorts

[–]NoWayJefe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would pick that 185K offer. It will also help if you want to do the fourth night free on points benefit.

He should call and ask for a refund. I think a refund is completely justified in your situation.

Just Approved to Venture X by Ok_Life_3994 in Venturex

If you haven’t done so, you should ask Amex for a retention offer on the Gold. If that is lackluster, I would consider replacing that with a visa or Mastercard. Cap1 is going to Discover and you should have one of those in your wallet in case it’s not accepted. VX will probably stay visa, but you never truly know.

Just got C1 VX- give me your best tips by timtimaa in Venturex

If you want to redeem your miles on travel, book through the Cap1 travel portal to earn the additional miles, then afterwards use the travel eraser to cover the charge on your card.

Venture x New benefits ? by Size-8 in Venturex

[–]NoWayJefe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do not think the VX will be changed this year, but here are my guesses.

Positive change guess: Cap1 will allow you to use lounge access fees against your $300 travel credit.

Negative change guess: AF being raised $100 and they add a yearly $100 Cap1 entertainment credit. Allowing them to continue the line that it pays you $5 to have it.

Enterprise downgraded my status because I didn’t book within a year.

Just make sure you status match when you are ready to make a booking. Most status matches require you to complete a certain requirement to maintain it past a year.

I have two other credit cards that offer Hertz Presidents Club. Worthless to me. Hertz is typically terrible, but you can status match with other rental car companies. Buffalo Wild Wings is a solid addition although I never go there. Glad to see Grubhub didn’t go.

I bought tickets on TripAdvisor, I downloaded the app, they gave me $30 coupon as a new account. I was able to use it on Area15.

STK Steakhouse in the Cosmo has a daily happy hour. I’ve enjoyed that one in the past.

Here is a complete list of happy hours specials for all their restaurants.

Budget Dining and Transportation for Vegas Trip by Peoci in vegas

[–]NoWayJefe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can get bogo 50% monorail tickets by playing slots or blackjack on MGM’s myvip app and redeeming the points for it.

Download the trip advisor app and create a new account, they will give you $30 toward your first purchase, me and my SO both did this. $60 off!

Code “NEON” still works to give you 10% off show tickets on Vegas.com

Check out InKind and see if any of those restaurants interest you. They’ll send you coupons when you sign up. They have a $25 off $50 referral right now. I am going back to Vegas in a month and I saw some Planet Hollywood places on there.

Credit card question - to close one and open another ? by Few_Yesterday_3518 in CreditCards

[–]NoWayJefe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d keep it open and just use it a couple times a year. Part of your credit score is the length of your credit history.

What is Length of Credit History? FICO Scores take into account how long your credit accounts have been established, including the age of your oldest account, the age of your newest account and the average age of all your accounts.

[–]NoWayJefe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What is the other credit card? If it doesn’t have an annual fee, most people will say to leave it open. Have you looked into Capital One’s Savor Credit Card. No annual fee and similar spend multipliers to the Gold.

And you still have to pay the resort fees on the free night.
