Uuggghhh that stinks. Thx for the heads up.

BARCLAY ARRIVAL PLUS 70,000 PT OFFER (via DoC)
https://www.doctorofcredit.com/barclay-arrival-70000-point-sign-up-bonus-with-annual-fee-wavied/

This one piques my interest. 70,000 points after $5k MSR (vs. standard offer of 60,000 points after $3k MSR). Annual fee is waived!

70k bonus points + 10k points from MSR = 80,000 points. They also give you a 5% points bonus back after you redeem points. This is worth > $800 at a 16%+ return! DoC says app links may not be live yet, but will be soon... Read DoC's post with full details and info on Barclays "6/24" rule that may be in place.

Is it too early for Dh and I to be looking at plane tickets for our Japan trip? We need tickets to get to and from LAX. The prices I'm seeing are crazy so I'm hoping it's because I'm looking too early...

At Jewel (Albertsons) you can’t buy GCs in self checkout. I tried last week and the cashier had me ring up my other items then he had to ring up the GCs separately. Then he had to cancel the transaction BC he didn’t let me put in my rewards number first.

heh, ymmv i guess. A friend of mine said their Albertsons allows it.

I did some GCs today at Ralphs... had one of the strangest thing happen to me... did around $430 transaction with a face value of $500. 2 cards(Cabelas) failed to activate. They had to return me money. they returned the face value back to my card...

profit?

Ugh! Besides a new iPad, DS11 has asked for exactly nothing for Christmas. Our tree is going to look very empty this year. Plus we don’t even have the distraction of being in the Caribbean in this year Now to find some gifts to help with my AmEx MSR.

 

[Lain]

Awe, you’re lucky! Mine does NOT have that same wording! I only realized when I still hadn’t gotten credit today for either of the purchases last week. Guess the offers are slightly different!

ETA Ok, I am going crazy, SO SORRY!! You are right, I looked again. Not sure why mine isn’t crediting, but apologies for the stupid comment!! (And yes I realize it won’t credit on the individual purchases until the cumulative total reaches over 300 but I am over 300 on one card/offer now and it still isn’t crediting...guess it will just take some time)

My $30 from the $300 completed on Thursday hasn’t credited yet. It can take a few days.

My Happy card didn't automatically take the $10 off either! Luckily the cashier did it manually pretty easily.

Plus the coupon is still on our accounts

 

[havaneselover]

@havaneselover
did u guys input phone # with the offer added via mobile?
did the cashier hit total?

I used my alternate ID (cell number) at self checkout. All the other gift card coupons came off. And no, I hit total or pay and saw that it was the only one that didn’t show up.

Anyone with Wells Fargo earn more mall check your offers. I have 30% off Kohls, Macy’s, and Gap up to $50, $75, and $40, respectively, in savings. This works well for buying gift cards for the store in-store then stacking them with sales (like Kohl’s Black Friday sale).

If memory serves correctly, someone asked me to share our fall Dapper Day outfits when we mentioned we were going for the fall outing too last spring. Our friends are also travel hackers and earned a combination of 5x via Amazon GCs and hit some MSR in the purchasing of outfits. It's a Disney Bound of Marvel Universe honoring the memory of Stan Lee. From L to R: Groot, Deadpool, Captain Marvel, Captain America, Iron Man (me), Spider-Man (DH).

Making my 3am work day so much better. I love it!!!

 

[amalone1013]

My Ebags refunds posted... all at 1pt/$, when I earned 5pts/$ originally with Chase pay...

Also, the amounts were slightly different. But still not enough to cover the full price of the bag I kept? Even after accounting for the rewards points I used on the two orders, I am like $15 short? In my favor though

 

[havaneselover]

Atom tickets has $7 off if you use Chase Pay. I used it to buy my Ralph Breaks the internet tickets for Thanksgiving.

 

[LuckyMamaInDE]

We flew JetBlue. We used the club At bwi. Food options were cut veggies, crackers and cheese. Terrible to be honest.
The pp restaurant in Tampa was way better.. got $28 credit times three on the CSR..

Thanks--good to know!

 

[hsmamato2]

It just opened last month and is brand new! Only 8000 points a night for two queen beds and sofa bed. It sounds like it is closer to Arches rather than in town but that works for us. I am super excited.

oooohhhh enjoy! that little brewery in town is so good

But Kohls has the Kitchenaids already and that's all that really matters, right?

Chase shopping portal question. If I'm looking at a department store that says extra 6 points per dollar through the portal, plus using my freedom, does that mean I should earn 11 points per dollar? The Q4 5 points per dollar immediately, and the other 6 points per dollar in 3-5 business days or up to 2 statements (the fine print gives those time periods)?

Sigh... Both P2 and I signing up for the 60k/$5k AF not waived offer continues to get worse. Oh well. Hopefully this card is still churnable and this sticks around. Guessing Barclays is having trouble getting signups since it relaunched.
