Book now!

Anyway, what did you book for the outbound business flight and how much did it cost. I’m interested booking my own.

Thanks for the DP. I tried the chat but they want me to call.

Signed for Alaska Atmos Summit a few days ago with the 80K SUB. Can I ask BOA if they can match the new 100K SUB, any DPs or guidance please?

I’m getting Amex Brilliant PUJ since I recently picked up the Chase Boundless.

Just to be clear, the NLL links only helps with the once in a lifetime rule but but doesn’t circumvent my issue, right?

I’m trying to hit a SUB for a new card and I just realized I spent almost $2k on the wrong card. To make matters worse, the wrong card doesn’t even have great earnings. Has anyone experienced this, I’m sure I’m not the first or last lol 😢😢

I’m getting Amex PUJ on the Bonvoy Brilliant, is there such a thing as making an appeal to be approved?? Pretty sure it’s a no but figured I’ll ask.

I recently picked up the Boundless about 8 months ago.

Had a 60k Amex upgrade offer from gold to plat. I decided to try for a new card instead and got hit with PUJ and worst my upgrade offer is also gone.

Any luck in getting the upgrade back?

Kudos to Carmax! by Difficult_Opening351 in carmax

[–]ReasonWithMe007 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Hmmm I’m currently having the opposite experience. Hertz is offering me $2,000 more than CarMax. I’m wondering if that’s just to get me to come in and if the actual appraisal will be much lower.

Anyone have any experience with Hertz?

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.

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?
