How to Book Hotel with Citi Premier Credit Card $100 Hotel Credit & Citi ThankYou Points

Posted on by . 11 Replies

Good morning everyone, I hope your week is going well.  3 weeks ago, my wife and I decided to book a last minute trip to Europe this summer with stops in Prague (PRG), Copenhagen (CPH), and Amsterdam (AMS).  When I was researching hotels in Prague, I heard many good things about Old Town Prague and wanted to stay there. There were several chain and independent hotels to choose from, so I checked TripAdvisor to see which hotels were highly rated. That is how I stumbled onto the Century Old Town Prague – MGallery Hotel Collection.  It has great reviews, is in a great location, comes with free breakfast and wifi, and the price was right.

2 Viator Citi Merchant Offers Available: $20 Off $150 and $35 Off $300 + Stack with 10% Cash Back

Posted on by . 3 Replies

Good afternoon everyone, I hope you had a great Father’s Day Weekend. 3 weeks ago, my wife and I decided to book a last minute trip to Europe this summer with stops in Prague (PRG), Copenhagen (CPH), and Amsterdam (AMS).  I am also a big fan of Viator, so I was researching some activities and food walking tours for our trip.  I then remembered that I saw a few Viator Citi Merchant Offers recently, so I enrolled my eligible Citi credit cards in the offers and made my Viator purchases.  In this post, I will show you how to enroll / activate your Viator offers and show how quickly the statement credit posts.

I checked all 6 of my Citi credit cards and found 2 different versions of the Viator Citi Merchant Offers: $20 Off $150 and $35 Off $300.  These offers do not appear on the same credit cards and you must make a single purchase to trigger the offers.

Uline Purchases Do No Code as 5x Office Supply Stores with Chase Ink Plus (Codes as Shipping Supplies / Catalog Merchant)

Posted on by . 4 Replies

Good morning everyone, I hope your weekend is off to a great start.  This post is probably only relevant to the 0.01% of people who shop at Uline (the huge shipping and office supply company that provides materials for home offices, small businesses, large warehouses, and events).  Many years ago when I was an eBay PowerSeller, I used to buy lots of boxes, padded envelopes, and other shipping supplies from Uline since they had the best prices and great customer service.  Fast forward to last week, I ordered 3 industrial storage cabinets from Uline and paid with my Chase Ink Plus Credit Card since I assumed the charge would code as a 5x office supply store, like Staples, Office Depot, and Quill, but unfortunately, the charge only coded as a 1x transaction (Uline Shipping Supplies – Catalog Merchant).

InKind Restaurant Payment App Introduces Rewards Program (Targeted Challenges = Credit Back)

Posted on by . 4 Replies

Good morning everyone.  Last November, I wrote about the AMEX Offer for the InKind restaurant payment app and showed how InKind worked at participating restaurants.  A few months ago, InKind had a promo during March Madness that offered a $24 bonus if you used InKind 3 times during the basketball tournament.  It looks like InKind has rolled those promos into InKind Rewards, their new rewards program, that rewards members for completing targeted challenges.  I will show you where to find the challenges and show you the 3 challenges that I received.  If you are new to InKind, here is my InKind referral link that “gets you $25 free when you spend $50 or more at any restaurant and pay your bill using the InKind app.”

First things first, here is the InKind Rewards announcement email that came yesterday afternoon.
