Uber yes, as has been covered. For buses, it should work when you load your transit card. Another poster says NYC MTA works. I can confirm from my own experience that CTA (Chicago), WMATA (DC) and LACMTA (LA) transit card loads code as travel as do Amtrak and Metrolink tickets.

The terms say that charges that post after your December statement closes will count toward the following year, so if your statement closes on the 15th, buy tickets on the 16th.

Fastrak in Cali counts as travel too.

I was looking at United's website today and it indicated that sale of gift cards is suspended while they make changes to their system. Don't know how temporary that is.

Answered my own question about AAA.

I went back through my old statements and I did pay for my AAA with my CSP. No corresponding travel bonus UR on that statement.

If I can't get it for the membership fee, I doubt I would get it for any item or service from them either.

For the SW refundable ticket... When cancelled.. Do the funds convert to SW travel credit? Or do the funds go back on the card?

I have a coworker who doenst plan on doing any travel this year but got the card. If uses the card to purchase a SW ticket for sometime next year then cancels the ticket at beginning of next year with the refund going back to the credit card, think the $300 travel credit can be clawed back?

Received my card today. Called to activate it. When on phone asked agent about travel credit. She told me the $300 is prorated until December....but couldn't tell me my amount. And said it would resetake again in January.... Is this true? I've seen nothing mentioned about being prorated...people.just said they got full 300

I'd expect it to claw back. Just like points get subtracted from returns.

Does the $300 travel credit count towards the initial $4000 spend requirement? in other words do you need to spend $4300 to get sign up bonus? Thanks

the credit doesn't reduce the spend.

Ok....so I had to call back because something didn't sound right.

I spoke with a different CR this morning who said whatever the CR rep from last night said to you is completely wrong. I will get full $300 thru Dec 31. And then it resets on Jan 1 for another $300. She also said the rep from last night was also wrong when she told me that the AF is waived the first year....

Some training they have given their reps!!

Btw...it seems getting this card in December is way to go...you get a quick $300 credit...and another $300 a few weeks later...
