Thanks again Dan!
My pleasure!
If I already have clear membership (through another card) any idea on how to maximize this freebie? Gift cards work? Or should I just gift someone it and pay for it?
Pay for it for friends and family?
Not sure if gift cards work.
What about $250 back in statement credits annually for prepaid hotel with Hilton Resorts on Hilton Aspire AMEX Consumer Card?
Do I need to cancel my Peloton membership so I won’t get charged for January?
Excellent post. Thanks Dan!
My Chase Reserve credit for the doordash pass was going to expire next month in January. I cancel the membership, remove the card from the profile and then used my United card to get an additional year for the doordash pass.
Thank you!
With the consumer platinum, is clear a 2021 credit or an annual credit ? Since when signing via delta a few months back it gave me a few free months and they aren’t billing my card until January …
If I get the $60 door dash credit on sapphire reserve, can I pay myself back too with ultimate rewards or if I do that they’ll remove the credit?
Thanks for the comprehensive and thorough post!
At the Amex Consumer Gold Card section you mention: “Signup for a free 1 year UberEats Pass through 12/31”. is that still an option? i believe they call it Uber One now and i am not sure if the gold card includes Uber One for 12 months. i added the gold card to my Uber wallet and it doesnt seem to give it free.
do fhr 200 dollar credit do you earn points or does it have a statues of a 3rd party stay? thank you
plus 1
Third party stay
can someone please answer
I have no need for the Adobe and Indeed.
I enrolled – Any one want it for 50% off each?
$45 for Indeed and $75 for Adobe?
Could anyone tell me please how long it took to post CLEAR charges to my AMEX Platinum? Is it too late to charge today (12/27)?
My card hasn’t been charged by clear yet (signed up on 12/21/2021). Do I need to complete the profile setup and in order for them to charge my card? (Scan passport or stop by at an airport, etc)?
No… I was charged immediately
If I use the Saks credit to buy multiple items and return some bringing me under the $50 mark do they reduce the credit?
They may clawback for that. Consider spending more if you want to return some to avoid dropping under $50.
Any way to save the AMEX $200 FHR hotel credit? Would booking any hotel with a cancelation policy, and later rebooking help?
If I get the $60 door dash credit on sapphire reserve, can I pay myself back too with ultimate rewards or if I do that they’ll remove the doordash credit?
You can
@Dan –
I recently got the Venture X card (why not, right.. btw its great that with Capital One cards you can start using them right away – i.e. today to make 2021 donations).
I tried it on the Shipt offer (which I never did before, because i was debating upgrading my Saphire Preferred to Reserved, but didn’t yet pull the trigger). Even though Venture X is Visa Infinite, Shipt didn’t give it 3 years..
Why not?
United TB stopped working this morning
Is American Express continuing the $20-$15-$10-$5 dining credits on the various cards? Thanks!
