i always keep it under 1k....i guess i did have a failure to post 2 years ago when i did a purchase over 1k....every purchase under 1k has shown up 3-5 days after.

The only ones I've had a problem with were over $1k as well...so I was wondering if you had a special MO.
Private browsing, things like that?
What browser?

if i'm buying multiple times from the same store, i will close the window of the store, close the UR window, and re open UR and go through the portal again. I also add all items to cart in a window first, close it, then go through UR mall

I'm trying my first non-UR card purchase in the mall. Used my new Club card. Hopefully I can get the 4x points plus the 1.5x on the Club card.

Scenario: If I book a car rental through UR with a United Club Visa, upon physical checkout at the car rental place I use my CSP to Pay (for 2.14x points), will I still get the 1x UR bonus from booking through UR?

If I were you I would forego the extra points in favor of the primary rental coverage that is offered with the United cards. You can still click though portal obviously, and you should get the points - but I always put rental cars on the United card for that reason.

I was trying to pull the "trick" where I book with the United card, but upon checkout and nothing is absolutely wrong, I use the CSP to earn the 2.14x points.

Are you booking through the UR travel or through a UR partner? Guess I didn't quite follow. Either way, I just booked a car through UR and was charged instantly for it even though my trip isn't until August.

Although that is quite surprising, I have never rented a car where you pay beforehand.

Since the Amex Membership Rewards store closed I've used the American Express Premier Rewards Gold card several times through Chase UR, and each time was successful. Of course, if something goes wrong, as has happened to me before when using the Chase Sapphire Preferred on a Home Depot purchase, Chase are hardly going to help if you've used another card. As I understand, Chase use an external company for the rewards, and really don't seem to mind such (ab-)use. My guideline is to only risk it if there's a relatively big gain in points value for using a different card.

I don't know about non-Chase cards at UR mall, but I used my CSP to buy something form Nordstrom via UR mall last statement, but was never given the bonus points. Called CSR and he said Chase will send me a letter. Letter got here yesterday telling me that to get the points I must purchase through UR mall... Which I did... Just bought something again using my Freedom, let's see if I get the points this time.

a couple weeks ago i made a two Nordies purchases under $1k each and I got the email from Ink (4-6 days after purchase) telling me I earned points. I read somewhere on this thread that people who made purchases over $1k had trouble getting their points. Either the points took a while to post or they had to call in. Maybe someone could chime in with their experiences.
