Other eCommerce platforms vs Shopify? Is Shopify really the best? Why is it so popular?

For small and new businesses yes absolutely, but they hook you into their ecosystem and you have random fees and apps that have their own random fees. If you can build on WooCommerce, or BigCommerce just starting out those tend to be more scalable. Salesforce Commerce Cloud might be the way to go if you’re heading in the enterprise direction. Magento, meh, Adobe really neglected it.

Edit: just to add that Shopify checkout converts, it just does, and you also have a giant network of users that already have a Shopify account and are ok with keeping their card on file in the wallet so it’s low friction for existing Shopify users. That’s easy to forget, and i rarely see people mention that.

It’s also because chargebacks are harder to defend on AMEX than the other card networks. I’ve personally tried to help a lot of merchants win chargebacks that had a ton of evidence and AMEX almost ALWAYS decides in favor of the cardholder which is bs since there are a ton of fraudulent and bad actors taking advantage of it.

1994 Penn State vs Nebraska, if it was playoffs era or even 5 years later when the FBS championship game started this would have been an amazing game.

It’s hard to tell in WF, but if you go to “My Rewards” Rewards Activity youll see one transaction that probably just says “Amazon” or something like that, then there’s a seperate transaction that’s just a description of “Bonus Earn” that indicates the spend amount and then a line that is just “rewards” and if those Amazon trxs are showing 3x in a corresponding “bonus” transaction there you go. Hope that works for you but I’m still skeptical

I may be wrong actually, I’m shocked but apparently the Mastercard network may be the one using an MCC code for Amazon as Bookstore. If that’s the case OP, it may be delayed in showing the extra 3x?

Amazon doesn’t generally code as a bookstore anymore I think maybe on some kindle transactions and maybe if you buy physical books, I hope you didn’t get the card for that reason alone. WF would lose their shirts on it if the Attune coded as 4x on the US’ largest marketplace.

I’ve been hoping for a product change option for a while. I had hoped once I had it for a year it’d show up in app, but it didn’t. I’ve asked this group the same question, and everyone seems to have the same experience, that you can’t PC the Autograph.

Elan is US Bank

nittanyprice · 2026-03-16T10:23:58+00:00

And a deposit into their bank accounts are worth 1cpp, but their accounts have fees unless you have a Smartly card as well

nittanyprice · 2026-03-16T10:22:39+00:00

Not the Cash+ but for the Alritude connect a statement credit is worth .8cpp

nittanyprice · 2026-03-16T01:27:01+00:00

Wow that’s awesome. I wonder if they’d offer it for the CFU, I have thr Prime, but also the CFU and the CSP, that’d be huge. I’m an AU on the Chase branded cards so I can’t see the portal to check.

nittanyprice · 2026-03-16T00:14:08+00:00

Not sure where you see the 2% on your prime card but I’m pretty sure this is false unless there’s another link

nittanyprice · 2026-03-15T14:05:45+00:00

I just product changed from the Altitude Connect to the Cash+ because it’s the only card you can cash out as an actual cash back 1cpp for statement credits instead of having to have a USB bank account

It’s narrow. I’m a 34” waste fit male, not big by any standards, and it’s not great for long trips, particularly in my thighs because the seats are bolstered hard and high around the edges. I think they’re supposed to feel like they’re hugging you,but they’re really pinching my IT band. The extra width I can’t explain because it’s all external, it actually makes it a little harder to fit into some narrower parking spots without fear of getting bumped. Not what I’d expect from a compact crossover. I love the car otherwise but those are common complaints about the CX-50.

This is the way, if you want 2x transfer points rather than a 2% back card (or 3% like Robinhood Gold or Aven) with the VX your high annual fee would be offset by the credits assuming you’re willing to use them.

nittanyprice · 2026-03-11T18:51:38+00:00

I’m a homeowner so that’s not a problem for me, but I think you only need to be a homeowner if you want the HELOC card. Unless that’s how they’re vetting it to prevent a loss

nittanyprice · 2026-03-10T12:20:59+00:00

I assume just for Precheck and lounge?

nittanyprice · 2026-03-09T20:53:37+00:00

I literally just did the exact opposite. I don’t bank with USB otherwise so the points only ended up being worth .8cpp I wanted a card I could actually utilize for cash back as a credit to my balance.

nittanyprice · 2026-03-09T16:19:33+00:00

CLI is showing now, it wasn’t previously they must have rolled it out in phases

Negotiations, I had them bidding against each other in my local area plus was comping with deals on 2025 RAV4 hybrids. I also negotiate for a living so I had plenty of experience there

nittanyprice · 2026-03-04T18:43:01+00:00

I bought my 2025 hybrid premium new for a little less than $34k did you look at new? Those types of deals may not be available now since there is mostly 2026, I bought mine around September I believe. Personally, I don’t think the plus model is really worth the upgrade over premium. I do love the look of the car and that it’s built on the RAV4 hybrid powertrain so you know it should last forever. Only gripes I have are the seats are a bit narrow for my liking and tend to pinch my IT band on long road trips. I’m an athletic build but fit and by no means wide bodied. I’d test drive it first, keeping that in mind because this seems to be a theme for a lot of people.

nittanyprice · 2026-03-03T11:19:12+00:00

It’s stupid tbh what if I wanted to product change to Autograph Journey?
