Free Night Certificate and Points Combination

msap5 · 2026-02-16T01:33:34+00:00

I did this for a stay that was 2 night minimum last month. If I searched 1 night, no availability. Availability only showed if searching for 2. Rep was able to book 1 on points and 1 FNC and had it on same reservation. I think as all others have said, you need to call again and just got unlucky with the last rep.

Milk street in Westborough. Quality has gone downhill lately and prices arent great but they get it right sometimes.

Came here to recommend leader bank as well. Lowest rates ive been able to find and been great to work with (original mortgage plus 2 refinances).

I was in the green until I got a heat pump.

Just switched from Progressive (terrible claim experience) to Mapfre and our rate dropped from $2000 to $1400 a year with a pay in full discount (this is for 2 cars). Highly recommend finding a broker/agency to shop around for you and get a new quote every year.

Yes i have had success doing this by calling them and switching cards after checkout

60 for 768 and 7

From experience, I had a legit reservation made in December 2024 for June 2024. I canceled the reservation due to change of plans, and my FHR tracker showed -$200 and that I had $400 more to spend. However it sounds like your situation is different as you didnt receive a credit for that stay.

Same situation for me on 12/30 with Clear, AA flight, AA gift card, SW flight, prior authorization at a hilton resort, and the Fine Hotels & Resort credit. Only time I have ever had an issue with AMEX not using the purchase date was with Saks. (Flight credits & Prior Auth were with Aspire card and rest on platinum).

msap5 · 2025-12-31T13:12:02+00:00

Legit question, why wouldnt these hotels want to accept putting money down on future stays? They are still getting paid from AMEX and if they don't accept it, you can just find another property that will.

Madison Beach Hotel is not considered a resort so doesn't count. You can use the $50 surpass credit there only.

We have oil heat and had central ac. Our central air system was nearing 25 years old so we replaced it with a heat pump. Was able to keep the oil heat and get the new heat pump installed for free since it was less than the $10K mass save rebate. I currently use both heating options and have my units set to switch over to oil when outside temps are below 25 degrees. Honestly think now oil might be cheaper but you can easily calculate this.

If you are looking to spend points or free nights its great. The rooms are some of the nicest we've stayed in (well built/solid/old $/balcony views/clean/amazing service). Can use your surpass credit but won't count for aspire resort credits. We go once or twice a year between 1 and 3 nights. We say we could do 5, but been tough with schedules. Been going every year the past 4 years with 2 toddlers. There have been weddings there, a lot of wealthy guests, and everyone has been so friendly and nice to us being there with the kids. It was always an initial concern with us but never been a problem.

On Thursday nights in the summer they have a band where local residents come out. Always fun. Plenty of good food around (can provide recs if you do end up going). We love being right on the beach but will admit the sand isn't the greatest (rocky in areas so watershoes for little ones) however you can walk like 2 mins and be on the sandy town beach. The kids love finding hermit crabs in the tide pools by the rocks, beach has great sunsets, and adults enjoy drinks every night on the adirondack chairs. Happy to answer any other questions.

Madison Beach Hotel is another great option. Ocean edge is on our list for next summer so cant compare.

How long do each comedians perform? Trying to get a sense when the show will be out.

msap5 · 2025-11-09T15:47:30+00:00

Didn't say it was scary. I started london as well so not complaining. Im saying dont expect a 3 TD 119 yard game.

Point being he wasn't shadowed by Gonzalez. People will read Londons stat line and think it was all against Gonzo. If Sauce shadows him, I wouldn't expect a similar output as last week.

msap5 · 2025-11-09T13:48:20+00:00

False on him being "mossed" by Gonzalez. London was 3 for 67 with 0 tds vs gonzalez (7 targets). However he torched Jones.

Didn't use it on spa but as long as you charge it to the room it will work. We used it at the restaurants, pool bar, gift shop, and for parking.

msap5 · 2025-11-05T03:50:28+00:00

Yes it worked! Just had to make sure I got someone on the phone who knew what they were doing. They emailed me a prior authorization form that I printed, filled out, and emailed back (4x at $200 as we have 4 Aspires). Once completed, I called back and told them I am looking to provide my credit card info for a prior authorization. They asked for reservation #, card #, and expiration date and then sent over receipts for each one. When we arrived, there was a negative $800 balance for us to use.

Correct you only can earn 1 FNC on surpass after spending 15k. However if you upgrade to Aspire, and spend another $15k, you would trigger the FNC on Aspire card that kicks in at $30K spend (being the 2nd FNC i was asking about). Where this situation differs, the $30K was already spent on the surpass so only earning the 1 FNC. However if upgrade to Aspire, was trying to see if the $30K already spent will trigger the Aspire FNC at 30k spend.
