one member wrote: AA is now showing gift cards as "giftcard" rather than general purchase if the csr looks closely. Last year it worked for me, yesterday it did not and csr told me that's why. However, later the same day I also requested the credit by Secure Message (for "baggage fees) and it was approved. Very YMMV now but still doable. 2/10/2017

Southwest Airlines GCs work fairly easily. I've generally bought them for $150 and said they're excess baggage fees.

I found an expired offer for 140,000 points instead of the free nights.

Personally I would rather have the points instead of the free nights, does the point offer come around every so often ?


Thanks

Last time I saw this offer was 2015. I think most everyone would rather take the points.

Are there any very recent DP's (ie last 2 weeks) on people matching via SecureMessage to the "3 Free Night" offer that had expired at the end of 2016? I saw posts from mid-April 2017 that people were still having success then, looking for recent updates as I've got my eye on this card.

Not me. I got the 3 free nights and cashed them in at the Ritz San Francisco. SF luxury hotels are very expensive so this is a nice treat.

Got approved on the 8th, SM'd the same day, and was told I'd get the 3FN after spending $5k.

Assuming you just simply bought them via the SW website?

$25 credit for using Apple Pay

Not sure if this is targeted, but I don't see any disclaimers about it being available only for select accounts. There was a link to this page in the Chase app. I did not previously have this card registered for Apple Pay. Requires five purchases by June 15.

When booking via Visa Discount Air website I don't see an option for lap infant. I choose 2 people. Plug in my wife and I, but can't choose we are traveling with our daughter. Any way around this?

They matched the 3 FN. Said they will honor it. Spend $5k and get 3 FN. Said to SM them once I hit $5k.

Any websites folks recommend with tiny transaction amounts?
Where you can use Apple Pay

Can You top up iTunes via Apple Pay? I think those go thru as online purchases.

Thanks

Xearoii, thanks for the quick update and congrats on the match! If you don't mind sharing, what was the exact phrasing of your request?

I didn't spend 10k to keep my gold for the second year, does anyone know if I spend 10k this year, when will I receive gold again? Will it be after I finish spending of have to wait for beginning of the third year? thanks,
