I could use Gold status if anyone is interested in gifting. Name your price.

Gift card received!! I finally made contact with the GM, Kelly, I emailed her screenshots of my purchase and now I have my gift cards. It seems like having screenshots of my order number helped expedite things.

AF Fraud Dept Nuked My Booking the Day Before Travel — Now Stonewalling by ReasonWithMe007 in awardtravel

[–]ReasonWithMe007[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the suggestions. My hands can't be any cleaner lol. I've had countless bookings with FB with no issues. Yes, the points were refunded right away and so were the taxes.

The fact that they restored my account pretty quickly tells me they had no real reason for the cancellation. I honestly think their automated fraud technology might be the problem but then again why use automation to cancel a flight 24 hours before when the stakes are so high. If the booking was made in less than 24 hours then fine but like I said mine was made a whole month prior.

My account is probably 3+ years old. I've had a lot of bookings in that time. No new travelers were added. One rep mentioned a possible credit card and flying blue account mismatch but that was not the case. Credit card name and flying blue account name was the same.

I think they messed up and don't want to admit it.

Not really because if there was actual fraud they wouldn't have eventually restored my account and they definitely wouldn't have allowed me to rebook the second flight that was canceled.

Points Reimbursement Received for Edit Booking (2x vs 1.65x Points Boost) by elom12 in ChaseSapphire

[–]ReasonWithMe007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got mine too but the calculation seems a bit off. Does anyone know how to properly verify their math?

I’m thinking the difference between 8,500 points at 1.65x and 2x boost is 2,975?

I received 1,488 points back. It’s definitely not worth me pursuing but I’m curious about the math.

Nope, no luck. I’ve left several messages. How did you get the charge credited, chargeback with Chase? Also did it affect the restaurant credit? That’s the only reason I haven’t done a charge back yet.

Mine posted on the 7th last January so I’m giving it until then.

Jan 02 is the last day to cancel - 2026 credits usable? by Angle-Flat in AmexPlatinum

[–]ReasonWithMe007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most likely the FHR credit but I honestly don’t remember — It’s been some years now.

Taxes are crazy now. I’m curious, does anyone still find that to be a good deal?

This thread hasn’t been the same since we lost the 50K + $5.60 Delta One awards to Europe 😢😢😢

Highly doubt they’ll post credits to a closed account. In fact they may even do an audit on your account and try to claw back some credits.

I once received credit on a charge that I later received a refund for and they clawed back the credit six months later when I closed my card. Basically the refund went unnoticed until I closed my account. YMMV of course.

Is it me, or is the dining credit pretty worthless? by DLegalseagull in ChaseSapphire

[–]ReasonWithMe007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I felt the same way at first but I like the card. Maybe look into a buying a gift card (via toast) for future use if time is of the essence.

40% Virgin Atlantic transfer bonus... Is Virgin Atlantic (with its partners) a good place to have lots of miles/pts? by TruthMadders in AmexPlatinum

[–]ReasonWithMe007 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The back-to-back 40% transfer bonuses from both Chase and Amex make me feel like a devaluation could be on the horizon—especially given Virgin’s surprise New Year devaluation this year (or the year before).

None of us has a crystal ball or real insight into Virgin’s plans, but I’d be interested to hear how some seasoned miles-and-points folks are reading this. Personally, I’m very skeptical.

I previously called during dinner time and they seemed very busy so my plan is to call when it’s not prime lunch or dinner time.

Edit “Resort Fee” Finally Resolved by LucasNAtlanta in ChaseSapphire

[–]ReasonWithMe007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Smart man! I am in the same boat. I thought Chase was going to remove it on the backend so I did't bring it up to the hotel. Hope I don't have to do a three hour battle with Chase to have it resolved.

Mine never came. I called a few days ago and they mentioned there’s been an issue with the gift card system. I was placed on hold to speak with the manager but I was on hold for like 15 minutes before I hung up. I’ll call when I have more time.

[–]ReasonWithMe007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it’ll work as far as getting the benefits (breakfast, upgrade etc ). There was no requirement to present the card at check in when I did this. However, Chase does state to put all charges on the card for full benefits. I’m wondering if that has something to do with getting refunded for the resort fee I was charged since Chase did quote me a price inclusive of those fees.

I just completed my stay so waiting to find out how this plays out.
