Actually I can make use of the benefits and the annual fee pays off, but would be nice to have some sort of goodies thrown in.
Anyone else had better luck?
Haven't heard of renewal gift with new iteration Plat Charge.
Those Grand Hyatt vouchers - I just bought them off another card jing for $1,200 who is cutting his card
I reasoned:
$2,000 face value
I can't apply 75% on that, so write down to $1,500 at least
I can only apply $200 coupon on each $400 spend, so I need at least another $300 off for that.
Two friend of mine (existing cardholders and will be cardholders no matter the cost) will be taking us there next Sat. The $2,000 is our share of costs.
