Should I just "waive" that "$250" travel bonus by cashing out with $1,000 check instead? Have there been concrete instances whereby Chase giveth and Chase taketh at since it was their "goodwill" semi-error of sort?
OT - but where do you plan to go in Norway? The train between Oslo and Bergen is absolutely breathtaking. But - apart from that - if you want to do the coast - the fjords - you should either drive (it is a "white knuckle" drive) or take a regular cruise or the Hurtigruten (the mail boat). I doubt this would be an easy trip to put together through a "package type" travel website (unless you were simply doing a regular cruise). You can get lots of useful info here in the Scandinavia forum about the things to see - and the best ways to see them. Note that Norway is an extremely expensive country (be prepared for $5 chicken breasts at the grocery store and $5 beers at the bars). Robyn
