I need more info on this 300$ annual travel credit.

Mayor of Cougartown

8/22/16 10:08am

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

Yup, anything coded as Travel. This would include Uber, rental cars, cruises,

workindev

Looks like my AMEX just got replaced. It's been real AMEX.

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

8/22/16 10:32am

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

Slightly off topic, but related to Ultimate Rewards with this program.

Not sure, but here is a little bit of info about that:

rainorsnow

8/22/16 11:04am

I think the answer for you is to transfer the points to the new reserve account

TN_Coug

8/22/16 5:11pm

wow, whiffed it. the above post had it.

TN_Coug

8/22/16 5:13pm

whiteninja

8/22/16 11:14am

lol, ok guy.

Mayor of Cougartown

8/22/16 12:53pm

Yea, because ppl are debating about the best way to go into debt.

whiteninja

8/22/16 12:55pm

BYUinTX

I searched Twitter and found this:

rainorsnow

8/22/16 4:02pm

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

workindev

8/22/16 4:13pm

Yeah, Since this is a brand-new product I think the 100k will show up and if

rainorsnow

8/22/16 4:20pm

rainorsnow

8/22/16 4:04pm

The application page never has it for Chase.

TN_Coug

8/22/16 4:21pm

The updated link with the landing page also directs to the same link as before.

TN_Coug

8/22/16 4:50pm

Nice catch. Shouldn't be anything to worry about.

rainorsnow
