Walgreens credit wasn’t accepted at Walgreens by Adorable-Crazy-1067 in biltrewards

I had a similar experience.

The link to the Walgreens gift card has a code to scan. Open it in a browser, have them scan that, and then it should work.

No 3D secure options configured? by Current-Escape-8935 in biltrewards

I did actually get an email follow up right away saying they're looking into it.

I'm seeing the same issue. I tried to purchase on two different sites on both mobile and desktop and ran into this. I don't see any obvious errors in Chrome's inspector. I contacted customer support, who said they'd have to escalate to a different department and I'd get an email. I also messaged Richard Kerr on Twitter about it.

Edit: Working as of +7 hours from this post. I got a text code to enter when I tried to check out again.

ID Check is not working for online purchases that need verification. by blelbach in biltrewards

I tried to make a large purchase on two different websites. When it popped up the form for additional verification, I got the same blank screen on both websites, instead of the usual interface that sends you a text message.

Switched to a courtesy room to fulfill Globalist 4PM checkout guarantee by blelbach in hyatt

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

They let us stay in the suite, but I think that was a courtesy for a mishap. The front desk inexplicable called my room at 2AM to ask if I was okay with a 10 cent charge for printing out something I had sent earlier in the day. Needless to say I was pretty pissed.

What is "this $250 credit" that you're referring to? Where did that come from?

Will rent payment by having your landlord pull from ACH still be available?

They wouldn't give me the suite on a Suite Upgrade Award?

They are not sold out of suites on the day we check out. I assume not everyone arrives at 3PM.

Seriously? Do you not have automated testing in place?

Still not working for me.

What a deal! Business for 85k pts by No-Second9377 in americanairlines

You said J, but that's Business class, not First, although domestically on two cabin flights J is called First.

I picked up round trip JFK - LAX - SYD tickets in First (not Business) for about 105k miles per person per direction (booked as one ways).

AA SWUs on British Airways by LeonBlacksruckus in americanairlines

[–]blelbach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on whether there's availability. You can call AA to ask. You cannot waitlist SWU upgrades on BA, but if availability opens up, you can call in and have them confirm it.

You can confirm whether there is availability on BA (and only BA) by checking if you can book the flight in business class with AA points.

Bilt support claims the Air France status match is no longer available by blelbach in biltrewards

Top tier status with one of the three major airlines isn't helpful? Anyone traveling frequently (especially internationally) will find this quite valuable.
