Luckily, so far I haven't. Besides, it is against the T&C of the cards with the merchant.
Last year, my 12th dine of 2005 was upgraded from 3/$ to 10/$ in 2006 (for some reason - but I'm not complaining
).
Unfortunently, the charge for that 12th dine was big -
$2.58!
Had I known that 9 or 10 months later, it would be worth 10/$, I wouldn't have done a $2.58 charge!
