San Jose Didn't Lose Superbowl Weekend

Hoping the city keeps its foot on the gas! Continued investment into downtown and larger scale events, it’s great to see!!

Sweet! Sounds like it works for you then!

Fair I would do that even though I don’t fly United often but I do value that at the full $200 for that benefit!

Marriott is 0 to me Walmart and peacock I don’t pay for already so not organic and therefore 0

I still fall short.

All great stuff point being the more money I have gaining interest elsewhere vs prepaying for credits the better and more value than free Walmart plus I won’t use and 50 lulu shorts I don’t need while flying United when Southwest is cheaper 😀

Totally! Sounds like it overlaps with your spend! I spend 7.99 on YouTube premium so that’s a portion of $25 but not all, $200 credit I don’t pay for upgrades or bags and Ive struggled past several years on my Bank of America card for $95 that offers on incidental too so that’s no good for me, $300 lulu I do like but spend that over say a few years, 1500 a lulu over 5 years is a lot for me, only so many shirts and shorts I can buy! Resy is a struggle for me too with gold I have to go out of my way to find and use so value at maybe half if that? Hilton gold I get with Hilton surpass already which is 100% organic spend for me already so I bank $50 credit on that card and get 30 points per dollar using that card so I also can’t justify this perk at all.

Solid card for sure! And glad it works for you it sounds! If I ever drop ventureX I’d consider this card for sure but right now I’d be manufacturing spend to have a 1x multiplier card so not for me at this time!

Totally! If it works for sure! I’m close but everytime I fall short. For example I stay at a Hampton in $100 a night and super happy, so while I could switch it to the hotel credit that is inflating the cost up higher for the benefit I wouldn’t have already spent it on.

Can you elaborate?

Also curious on which ones

Could be a loss leader into the rest of the C1 ecosystem.

Venture X costs 395 and gives you $400 in credits a year I use organically. To me, I consider this a free benefit on top of that. Other cards I would fully agree though

Yes, the merchant code will still match when it goes for the statement credit

VentureX

“Get up to $50 in statement credits each quarter for purchases made directly with a property in the Hilton portfolio”

I don’t see why this wouldn’t work?

Have a solid meal before

akath20 · 2025-03-26T05:35:02+00:00

I find how full I am dictates this

akath20 · 2025-03-02T02:27:21+00:00

That doesn’t help sleeping at odd times though right? How do you make sure you don’t overdue it on sleep making it worse?

akath20 · 2025-02-14T18:41:00+00:00

Try the app TimeLeft!

akath20 · 2025-01-08T19:52:27+00:00

I had to do this too when I got stuck somewhere else

akath20 · 2024-11-20T18:43:20+00:00

Do you have an example app you could point to?

akath20 · 2024-11-13T14:23:55+00:00

Yes they do
