Buy from a place that takes Apple Pay. Best Buy and Newegg sell Lenovo computers and take Apple Pay.

Yes, it does provide most if not all of them. You can find it under the card benefits tab when you check the reward details. This is the link for those details, I am not sure if you need to sign in before in order to see it. https://www.myvisacardportal.com/usb...otections.html

Newegg does not have the model I want. Plus seems the models they are selling are from their marketplace third-party vendors which one probably should avoid if you are buying >$2K worth notebook planning to use the next 3-5 years.

Lenovo's website accepts Amazon Payments. Now the question is - I there a way to top up Amazon Payments using the Altitude card? Are there physical/electronic gift cards sold at retail/online places accepting Apple Pay?
I'm asking because I am not familiar with the market - have been living outside of the US for a while

US Bank doesn't like us buying gift cards. You might risk a shutdown. You can Google US Bank shutdown. Lots of DP

I understand but one thing is to buy 10 $200 gift cards on a daily basis and second - to have one such purchase ever. Does a single occurrence of gift card purchase justification for a shutdown?

Related question - how the card issuer knows what actually someone has bought at Safeway? Does the card issuer have access to receipts of the cardmember?

There were people who got shut down for those amounts. Not sure how us Bank is sensitive now.

I'm trying to re-register my Gogo Wifi Benefit and it's giving me the "We're sorry! The card number entered isn’t eligible. Please check the number you entered and try again." error. Anyone have this problem? US Bank CS and Gogo CS is blaming it on each other and I'm getting no where. It has been more than 12 months and my old passes expired.

Thank you. So summary of those trip related protection eligibility that in all of them you are eligible if you paid for portion of the trip except the trip cancellation/interruption benefit "charge the entire cost of the Trip using Your Account, less redeemable certificates, vouchers, or coupons, or rewards program associated with Your covered Account." Also it's not as generous as CSR because it "Trip Cancellation and Interruption benefits pay up to two thousand dollars ($2,000.00) per Insured Person"

Darn, that's unfortunate. I was holding off applying because I'm in the middle of a mortgage refinance. They already show the card in the new Go/Connect style, I suspect they'll bring it back as the terrible version they surveyed for a while ago.
