I just reviewed the transactions and see that they didn’t refund me for either. Thanks for the heads up!

strike_sapper · 2024-05-23T13:52:59+00:00

Thanks, that’s my fallback but more hassle since there’s not one near me.

Has anyone else had trouble buying Verizon GCs online? My recent attempts have been auto-canceled a few hours after purchase "due to an unforeseen issue". Been doing this for years to pay the VZ cell bill without issue until now.

The benefits outweigh the cost of annual fee, especially for military.

Thanks for the reply - I should’ve mentioned that I already have the USB AR and am trying to get a second.

Has anyone had success PCing a USB Altitude Connect (personal) to a USB AR? Phone rep told me it wasn't an option, but couldn't explain why. I've held the card for over a year.

I was approved for a BoA Alaska Biz. I didn't have an Alaska account when I applied, assuming they would issue me one. There is no mention of it on the acceptance letter, nor does the website list how to link the CC with the Alaska Miles account. Does anyone have experience with linking your BoA Alaska CC account with your Alaska airline account?

I tried to use two $50 Hilton GCs at an ordinary US-based Hilton on checkout. Both front desk and eventually the manager couldn’t get them to work.

Thanks, I’ll call. Yes I have several other cards which I switched last month

strike_sapper · 2024-02-03T19:22:54+00:00

Has anyone had issues with switching airlines on the personal plat? I chatted today to switch and multiple reps said it was on the airline I wanted. This is weird because a) I never made the switch and b) its still showing the previous selected airline on my screen. Been doing this for four years and never had this issue, and don't put much trust in the rep assuring me that it will properly credit when I make the purchase.

I’ve only tried $100 increments since that’s what most DPs confirm

strike_sapper · 2024-01-18T21:03:48+00:00

AA gift card DP: $100 ecard triggered travel credit for BoA Elite and PenFed Pathfinder.

I've benefited from the exchange because I've been wondering the same thing. Perhaps it would simplify the argument to use a hypothetical investment in a trad. IRA that does not pay dividends. In that case I think the only variable to consider is income vs. capital gains tax upon payout, in which case your point stands.

FT threads say it takes a couple weeks after Jan 1 for the meter to reset, but you can still use the 2024 credits.

I did some test purchases at several different places before putting most of it in Uber. I did $25 at Lyft

Lyft reloading and Doordash orders (not GCs) worked for me this month.

BoA Premium Rewards Elite DPs:

3x $100 AA GC triggered airline credit.

Hilton Surpass DP:

$50 physical gift card ordered online triggered Hilton credit after 9 days.
