Mayor of Cougartown

applied to any airline or travel coded purchase.

TN_Coug

Here's the fine print on that:

rainorsnow

8/22/16 10:10am

ok so lets say I buy a flight on Delta for 225$. I then get a statement credit

Mayor of Cougartown

8/22/16 10:15am

Correct.

rainorsnow

8/22/16 10:16am

Yes, or stay at a hotel for $300, you can get credit for that too.

workindev

8/22/16 10:33am

interesting.

Mayor of Cougartown

8/22/16 10:36am

Are you under the 5/24 rule?

rov

8/22/16 10:18am

Yes. Rumor is that the 5/24 rule applies.

rainorsnow

8/22/16 10:20am

Ok, that is what I was afraid of

rov

8/22/16 10:23am

Got a decision pending. I didn't think I was under 5/24, but I just looked it up

workindev

8/22/16 10:22am

I had such good luck with chase the last 3 years until the 5/24 rule

rov

8/22/16 10:29am

my next question is that my wife currently has the chase sapphire preferred

Mayor of Cougartown

8/22/16 10:27am

Yup, 2 different products.

workindev

apparently the only thing holding people back is the 5/24 rule.

Mayor of Cougartown

I searched Twitter and found this:

rainorsnow

I think it's pretty safe. They will usually match the best available offer if
