I love credit cards so much!

Did they shut down your kids' accounts too? Were your kids paying expenses in your or DH's names?

The kids can't login (but did not receive shut down emails), so I assume they are shut down as well. I assume Plastiq thinks we're all the same person and that I've opened "fake" accounts. And yes, I paid my son's rent from my account. On the flip side, they have paid our car payment from theirs. If customer service doesn't reinstate, then perhaps I will reach out to the private banking specialist who has emailed me twice in the past week . . .

update on my CSP to CF story...

I went ahead and let the first gal PC to no fee CS last week. Supposedly then trying again to PC to CF would get me around the 1 year loophole. So today I called back to PC the CS no fee to the CF and he said the full line of cards is not avail to me yet and to call back on 6/9 because I opened the CSP on 6/8/17. So back to calling again in 3 days.

ETA: I will be asking them to expedite when I call back on the 9th so I can knock out the quarterly spending by 6/30.

I went this weekend and bought a bunch of GC at lowes, amazon being part of them. It was for places we always shop anyways, but I figured it would be a way to save 10% on our everyday spending. Loaded up DH's amazon acct with a GC since he refuses to shop anywhere else.

I'm trying to decide if I have DH stop at Kroger or Lowes on the way home... I want to get $50 for Petco, $50 for Target to spend tonight. Plus something to load into Amazon.

One one hand Freedom (got $450 left) or Discover (LOTS left) + 4x FPs... The other hand 10% off...

I kind of want to make him go to both so I can see how my Lowes compares to yours

Was printing a shipping label for a textbook I sold for my younger brother on Amazon and saw this

Who would have thought you could pull a 100K Plat offer via an ad through Amazon

It's attention grabbing, for sure; but that's also the current public offer for the Amex Business Platinum. Earn "up to" 100k MR: 50k MR after you spend $10k, and another 50k MR after you spend an additional $15k, all in 3 months. Yeah, that's not going to work with my "business"'s budget.

Ah, good catch. Didn't see the "business" in ant size print

I believe once they PC it you can see it in your account as the CF and can use your old card until new card comes because the numbers do not change. That is how it worked for me last year.

As @WVMomof3 said, you'll be able to use your old card as a Freedom immediately. I even had something retroactively apply the 5x points.

I suck at this game sometimes. Going to stop at Lowes for some starbucks GCs (for me and for dad's day) but totally forgot that I could have also picked up an Amazon GC to use for the rest of the dad's day stuff that I just ordered... And its not like I used our new CSP that I need to be getting MSR on either, just let it run through our amazon prime card. Gaaa....

My Lowe’s 10% Amex rebate posted today from my GC shopping trip on Sunday.
$202 spent and $20.20 back.
Fantastic!

I'm jealous of everyone's Lowes offers on their Amex. I just got Staples and I think the closest one is almost an hour away, I have never been to one before. I have not had any good Amex offers since I got my card.

DH has the travel channel on and says “let’s go to Portland, this food all looks really good.”

Me- “That would be cool, maybe we could go for a long weekend for our spring vacation next year.”

DH- “I thought we were going to Disney that fall, we’re not going to be able to afford anything else.”

I explained to him once again that we already had enough points to pay for our entire stay (room, tickets, and food) for a week. He just looked at my skeptically Oh ye of little faith.

I don’t think my DH believes me either. My parents didn’t until I pulled up my UR page showing the dollar amount. And that doesn’t even incl SPG, Hilton, SW, and hertz balances.

Right!! I’m at the very beginning of my churning “career” and already have 105k Marriott points, 200k URs, and will have another 150k URs and 250k Hilton points by the end of the summer. Plus I’ll be double dipping DH this fall, so any cash outlay we have for this Disney trip will be very small!

Don't you still have the Sapphire double dip, CIC and CIU to tap for more URs?

I got my first Amex credit for Exxon. And someone on the swagbucks thread pointed out that Exxon falls under swagbucks local so I linked by spg biz and hopefully will get another 2% back on fillups. Need to figure out the speedpass app.

heh, 2% back with swagbucks, 10% off amex offer, 4x MR points in Aug... sounds like a pretty sweet gig!

Update: was talking to a friend who told me he wanted to transfer UR to Delta... needed a visual. Old visual is outdated so i updated it to the best that i can. its not perfect but its updated none the less... please let me know if im missing/mistaken anything.

On Petco gift cards...my google skills are failing me but Office Max/Depot has a deal right now that for every $100 of Petco gift cards you buy you get $10 off. I used it the other day. At first in rings up as the $100 but at the end the register converts it to $90. And yes I used my (DH's) Ink Cash!

Edited to add: selected gift cards only but includes Petco, Jiffy Lube.
