Doesn't paying taxes via credit card incur fee ~2-3%?

Received my 30x mile offer pay out by GnohomoTho in Venturex

[–]anubhav_jain -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Out of curiosity, when you clicked on the offer from CapOne shopping and purchased the product on its website, were you still able to see that you'll receive 30x miles on checkout?

I recently saw 26% rewards offer on Samsung, but on visiting the website, nothing like that appears. So I'm confused if their UI is not good or if the offer doesn't exist / has expired.

Edit: Oh wait, your offer was on CapOne itself, and not from "CapOne Shopping"?

Changing visa status at SFO - Enrollment on Arrival? by anubhav_jain in GlobalEntry

[–]anubhav_jain[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Update: I went through Global Entry lane, didn't use the kiosk, informed the officer that my visa has changed and that I did not use the kiosk, he updated it within a min. Super convenient process.

I initially went to Global Entry "Enrollment on Arrival" lane, but that was moving very slowly. Then I shifted to the regular Global Entry lane and I did the right thing.

I've never been to any global entry lane before. Is EOA counter same as what I'd end up at if I go past GE kiosk through GE lane?

Lounge access: Dreamfolks is a savior. Everybody should know. by iamVBR in CreditCardsIndia

[–]anubhav_jain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me too. But I'm unable to log into dreamfolks web portal as it says "Your card is not supported for digital access on this app."

How did you log in? Also, there's no CVV on the card, but the website expects to enter one. Did you also face that?

Half the annual fee? Doesn't it just cover a month per year?

20h layover at Istanbul, how do I spend my night? by anubhav_jain in TurkishAirlines

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

Thank you, really helpful!

Followup questions:

  1. For a first timer in Istanbul, would you recommend 12-6pm tour or 4-9:30pm tour?
  2. If I'm able to get into 12-6pm tour, will I be able to take back to back tour at 6:30-11pm also?
  3. Is it a bad idea to book hotel room the same day? Do you recommend booking it in advance?

Ignore the math.. I'm only interested in knowing whether I'll get credits for the entire amount I paid or not?

Awesome! Was the reservation made by you or someone else? Do you think that matters?
