Has anyone noticed this, interpreted it, or written about it? Has anyone tried to get the FHR credit with an additional Gold card recently?
The terms seem to be saying that you can't get the FHR credit if you make a reservation with a gold card. That makes sense to me - you have to have a platinum card to use FHR in the first place.
