0:35 [Sam] AA Showing More Award Space on Mobile? (link)

Seems to be that there’s a new search interface and a legacy one

They sometimes show different results

TPG post

 

2:33 [Robert] Speedway: $15 voucher for Speedway gas GC when purchasing $100 3rd party GC

Slickdeals

DoC

Lowe's, Home Depot and others (Texas Roadhouse, Netflix, Cabellas, Dominos, Bass Pro Shops and Google Play)

Through 6/30

 

4:43 [Sam] Rakuten closing accounts buying GC in-store(link)

Bed Bath Beyond likely the issue now

Was also a problem with office Max for some commenters

Better play? 3pgc online?

 

6:30 [Robert] Amex Membership Rewards now transfer to Qantas (link)

Citi also a transfer partner

Good for El Al, potentially Aer Lingus (depending on distance) and...China Eastern First (strange I know)

 

8:29 [Sam] Amex Priority Pass No Longer Work at Airport Restaurants (link)

Effective August 1, 2019

Doesn’t affect Chase Sapphire Reserve, Citi Prestige, CNB Crystal [yet]

 

10:17 [Robert] Amex Delta Sign Up Bonuses at All-Time Highs

Referral links not yet updated, but will likely follow

Guidance here is to wait and position for spousal referral

Breaking: I got a targeted offer in the mail for the Delta Reserve card with no lifetime language across all Amex Delta cards

Check: http://delta.com/75reserve to see if you’re targeted (if it malfunctions out after entering your Delta account number, you’re not targeted)

Affiliate (DansDeals), public, referral, targeted w/no lifetime…inflationary trend?

 

14:19 [Sam] Barclays Asking for Proof of Business After Credit Card Approval (link)

Unheard of.

Has Anyone been affected?

 

15:53 [Robert] Hertz Devalues Award Chart (link)

Ex: 1 week rental 3,750 (was 2,750)

1 day 750 (was 550-750)

Hard to earn Hertz rewards

They’re still rather valuable per-point but since they’re hard to earn without actually renting from Hertz it amounts to a rather weak rebate

 

19:08 [Sam] $10 off of $100 or more in visa GC at Safeway stores through 6/8

Confirmed working on variable load $500s

Great time to test multiple designs for fuel points. Don't buy single designs.

Just 4 U coupon must be linked

Erases the $5.95 fee

One per account

Strong reason to start putting together more j4u accts.

Do not work on plastiq, don't buy if you don't have a good liquidation method for them.

 

19:59 [Robert ] 3x Fuel Rewards on Mastercard GCs at Stop & Shop

5/31-6/6/2019
