Has anyone used the resy credit yet and has the credit posted?? I went to a place on resy on the 18th (activated the credit and linked with resy before) and have yet to receive the credit on my account as of this morning.
I was also curious if anyone has used the resy credit to buy gift cards at those restaurants and succesfully gotten a credit??

Also curious about the Lululemon credit if giftcards work for it??

There is 1 data point posted in the Lululemon thread that buying a gift card in a physical (Indiana) store triggered the credit
I am still waiting to see if buying a PHYSICAL gift card through the website will also work.
I made a purchase on the website for clothes on September 18 and my Lululemon benefit tracker moved today.

I received mine yesterday. Its definitely unique looking and also a bit odd. Its really hard to see anything on the front without angling it in the light. And Im almost hesitant to put it in my wallet because I think its going to get completely scuffed up within days.

I ordered the mirror design on 19th, waiting to receive it. Plastic option was not there at the time. Mirror design was tempting, so Ill see how it holds up in my wallet - I may very well order the plastic design in the not to distant future.

When youre catering to your new biggest growth market, millennials and zeds (the look at ME generations).. having a mirrored finish card does seem like a solid marketing tactic.

I used the $200 Fine Hotels & Resorts (FHR) credit for a stay I booked in February 2025, which I stayed at 10 days ago.
Additionally, I booked a 1-night FHR stay on September 19, and it posted on that date. Today, I received my $300 credit for my upcoming stay in October.
Received a total of $500 FHR credit for 2025.

Funny to me how for so long cc companies would tell us to cut up our old cards when a replacement came. Now it's flipped, and they warn us not to but the metal card into a shredder. I'm guessing it might not go well for the shredder if you put a metal Plat card in there.

I now have a few envelopes stashed to send back old cards. I have sometimes sent multiple cards incl other issuers (i.e. Amex in the Chase envelope, and vice versa) and no complaints.
I personally prefer the plastic as it doesn't weigh down my wallet and I can take it thru airport WMD on the rare instance when TSA isn't barking at me to empty pockets. But I hate how cheaply they are constructed, they seems to peel apart after a certain number of swipes, which unfortunately are still required by some merchants, parking meters, etc. Even P2 commented on how flimsy the plastic cards are.

Roger that. I tried to shred a plastic/metal combo card a while back, the card won and my trusty fellowes office depot shredder was rendered largely inoperable.

I prefer plastic cards too, and I wish the metal card trend would end.
I did order the silly mirrored card, because it seemed like it would be an interesting oddity to have around (hopefully this does not become the next trend...). But I'm not going to carry it around in my wallet.
