Does it make sense to do a sticky on the first page to list out Affordable hotels worldwide, let’s say 250 a night and below?
|
If I know my dates for vacation, does it make sense to book 2 nights now since my current credit expires on December 31 and after that in the new year I booked two more consecutive nights with the new credit. I just have to make sure my flights are fairly well priced on those days to Portugal but worst case I can always cancel both reservations.

Ah, that would be great if so.

And yes, that’s terrible wording. I’m only making one purchase here, so the more natural interpretation of this provision is that the whole purchase does not qualify for points. Strange to imagine that I’m making a $250 purchase, and then another purchase for the balance.

It is most certainly so. My charges for Edit bookings that got the credit clearly shows points earned for the amount above $250.
I agree that the wording is confusing (to say the least) and has had many believing that the entire booking is thus disqualilfied from earning points. You are still only making one purchase, it's just that as SP03 has noted, the $250 portion that gets credited won't earn any points. Anything above that will earn points as usual which is at an 8x multiplier. |

I don't feel any entitlement to points for money I didn't spend.

But you do get full points for restaurants and StubHub purchases that earn credits.

We are all paying for them in one way or another.

Many if not most of us here game these card benefits and sign-up bonuses to a crazy degree. We’re effectively charging the banks a hefty annual fee for our business.

Though we're all paying more because of the interchange fees that increase the price of pretty much everything. Don't fool yourself into thinking that the banks are losing anything on anyone.

I can be the next DP when it shows up. I canceled my EDIT stay and rebooked before the -$250 was clawback. Currently the old EDIT is refunded, but -$250 is till there. The new EDIT is pending. I wonder if the new booking showed up before the $250 credit was clawback, would it just stay or it will be gone and come back in a few days. Or I would have to call to get it back. It's going to be fun for the next few days LOL.
Day 1: Cancelled 1st EDIT stay Day 2: Rebooked 2nd EDIT stay Day 3: Received 1st EDIT stay refund Day 4: 1st EDIT stay $250 credit was clawback Day 5: 2nd EDIT stay charge posted Day 6: 2nd EDIT stay $250 credit posted |

Did you happen to check whether the meter reset before rebook?

I got some conflicting reports from various places online and it looks like the ultimate tell
is under "price details" on the portal just before you click "add to trip". I checked a few on the Edit/eligible list and they all included the resort fees as a line item before the total. Nonetheless, I'd definitely have a screen shot at the ready as Vegas hotels are notorious for "forgetting" you've already paid. It's even worse if you're, say, a Hyatt Globalist, where you don't have to pay resort fees on eligible rates. But if you pay it to Chase, you're certainly never going to get it back. |
