I love credit cards so much! v6.0 - 2023 (see first page for add'l details)

Even more awkward when you have to drag P2 since they insist on seeing ID even P2's card is in the Apple Wallet that clearly is my phone and to top it off the name doesn't even show!!

hahaha I have had many "Let me go get him from the car" scenarios.

Scouring all my Amex cards for a Naturpedic offer I know I had. I remember saying to myself thats a good one but I wont need it. Well now I need it and I cannot find it
While scouring I found a new cable/internet offer

Get a $5 statement credit by using your enrolled eligible Card to spend a minimum of $50 in one or more purchases to pay US bill payments for cable and/or internet services made directly with the provider by 12/31/2024. Limit of 4 statement credits (total of $20).

When you have offers on that many cards do you try and knock them out in one trip? I'm usually good to try three cards on one trip. If I do more than that I feel like they are looking at me odd.

I've not had a problem. On one occasion a manager stepped in to help because the system stopped processing. A couple of times the person checking me out and I discussed our Disney trips because her Aunt owns DVC and she has traveled with her.

I do find it easier to do 3 or so at a time if there are people in line behind me because I'm trying to keep track of what I'm doing. Then I'll get back in line with the rest of my stash. This set will be 3 cards for $67 each and 4 cards for $100 each.

Sometimes I've purchased a different gift card such as a Starbucks for DD who likes that.

Does anyone know if the Chase 15% off Office Depot offer works for buying gift cards online…there aren’t any stores by me and I have the offer on some cards….

Those come from a partner site, gift card mall, so I haven't tried it. And they add in 66 cents (for a stamp I guess).

They closed the one that was closest to me.

And, JP Morgan Chase called my number this morning. I let it go to voicemail but it was a 3 second one with no message.

Yesterday I picked up $1200 in VGC's at Staples, my usual. Then I remembered next month is Xmas so went back this morning for another $1200.

And, yesterday I actually went to a different Staples because I was right there. They were sold out. I also noticed the sign says they are now allowing 9 each day. The sign said, Max 9 each day.

I actually spend them on Costco, pay my vet, etc.

I would wait if you could for when they offering the $15 off $300 in V/MC deals then use the V/MC at BJ's/Sam's or somewhere else to buy the disney cards.

For some reason (in my head) I never do this deal. Probably because it's a limit of one (I think) and it's a longer drive for me and then I have to go to Sam's, hoping they'll let me use a card to buy cards. The local Sam's has never let me buy gift cards with a gift card.

If I'm doing this stuff I want to profit at least $50 for my trip, unless I'm there anyway.

When ODOM run these promos, I get (3) $200 VGC = $600 (plus purchase fees - $30 promo credit) comes to $587.xx or $593.xx depending on if I can find grocery everywhere cards or not. I prefer using a CIC that has a Chase ODOM offer on it. Or either of the Hyatt cards if I'm trying to reach a certain spend target. I haven't been able to split tender on these anymore where I live; it was nice when I could. I used to MS but as WM became more hit and miss (mostly miss), I just use the cards for Costco, utilities, medical bills, etc.

I've missed the boat on MS'ing. Just never got started.

I try to do $1000 VGC each month but lately it has been creeping up. November reached a high of 4k this morning, lol, but I had a lot of spend this month for miscellaneous expenses, not even counting 20K in window expense.

If I were traveling by air or internationally I'd probably put more effort into collecting points.
