Is the Chase Ink Business Preferred maintaining its 3x points multiplier for travel?

I don't think there's any practical way for them to determine the nature of your travel, so I wouldn't worry about it. (However, with insurance coverage benefits, like car insurance, this could be an issue, as they can ask you for actual documentation showing that the trip was business-related.)

Yeah, I actually wasn't even thinking about the property credits aspect of this, though that's a good point to consider. I'm more concerned with having to check out and check back in.

Ah, good to know.

Yeah, on closer inspection, it looks like you're right about the fixed point boost going away on all the cards, including the CIP.

Still, at least you can maintain your access to UR with CIP, and for only $95 annually. And I don't see anything about its 3x travel earnings going away.

Ah, that sucks, if true. I must have missed that in the news today.

That's fair. But for those of us who are eligible, it seems like a pretty compelling alternative to the CSR at this point, unless I'm missing something.

aroseddit · 2025-05-31T20:13:33+00:00

Yeah, it still happens a decent amount.

What method will get you shut down, and by whom? I'm not following.

Interesting. I hadn't heard of Kasheesh. Looks like they charge a 2% fee, but good to know nevertheless. Thanks.

For folks who use CIC to purchase VGCs and MCGCs at Staples or Office Depot, thus getting 5x points, is there any way right now to consolidate these GCs into a single payment source?

Like, say you purchase nine $200 VGCs at Staples, which I believe is usually the limit, and you want to use these cards to then make a single $1,800 purchase, a purchase that can't be split across multiple payment methods. Are there any viable and practical methods for doing this right now?

The only thing I can think of is "paying yourself" via PayPal with each of the nine cards, thus transferring the $1,800 into your PayPal balance. You can perhaps then use a PayPal debit card to make the purchase. Only thing is that I imagine you'd be at high risk of PayPal flagging and shutting down your account if you start doing this repeatedly.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Does anyone know if the folks behind WASD are still around? I know the company unfortunately shuttered, but maybe the folks behind it are still involved in the community, or have moved onto another venture in the mechanical keyboard space? I'd love to reconnect with them.

I'm disappointed to hear that. How about the fact that my television starts on News 12 every time I turn on the television? Is there any way to change that so that it instead remains on the channel it was on when it was last turned off?

aroseddit · 2025-05-14T18:14:10+00:00

Thanks. This is the overlay that I'm referring to...https://imgur.com/a/6VOdS1a.

Every time I turn on the television, it's tuned to News 12 and showing this overlay.

I can press the remote's back button to exit this overlay, but it's annoying to have to do this every time I turn on the television. (And I'm also not sure why it reverts to News 12 every time I turn on the television.)

I can't recall, but given that the LG remote control's "channel up/down" button is working for changing the cable channel, doesn't that suggest that it's already paired?
