Everything almost, is open to debate on FT, just depends on the forum it is in.

Don't get butt hurt on here, it is an open forum. If you put it out there, be prepared for responses and some people are just rude keyboard warriors. If you don't want it analyzed, don't type it in public. There are far too many good people on here that try to help, to worry about the few trolls. YMMV IMHO

I mean sure I could pay for a subscription I won't read or an audiobook I won't listen to, but honestly, who cares? It's not as if not using them is costing me more money. That's all I'll say about that.
I wonder if all the usage of crap benefits for the MR points, will make them think, "They are using it, so we should keep it." Or will non-usage result in them rethinking their strategy and have them add something worthwhile?

I don't think Equinox is completely free with zero out of pocket cost after reimbursement. Like I mentioned in my post, some credits may not be worth the hassle to some even it's completely free. It's definitely YMMV.

Yes it should:

The New York Times: Eligible purchases for the New York Times include any subscriptions (including digital or print news, NYT Cooking, and New York Times Games) made directly through www.nytimes.com. Eligible purchases do not include advertising services, NYT conferences, gift cards, the TimesDigest or purchases from the NYTimes company store.

so I have the first month free from audible.com so can I buy a audio book for say $15 and would that count for reimbursement? or does it have to be a subscription fee?

Book purchases will also be reimbursed. I had one reimbursed 1-2 months ago. Good Luck.

August or October?

On one of my Plat accounts (consumer), the Peacock credit posted the same day.

On my other Plat account (Morgan Stanley co-branded), I still have not seen a reimbursement for an Oct 3 SiriusXM purchase. Previously it posted within a couple days. Oct 20 NY Times credit posted the same day as purchase. The benefit tracking meter accounts for both charges, but only the NY Times one has been credited. SiriusXM has worked fine in previous months.

Still have used zippo of this credit. I have enough to read and watch otherwise.

Any suggestions on a good way to donate these credits to organizations or persons in need instead of wasting the credits on ourselves or letting them expire?

Thanks. I just pre-ordered a book on audible for $21.99 . Lets see if I get the $20 reimbursement. How long does it take for credit? Book is out on Nov 9.
