I Received Southwest Airlines Travel Reimbursement Payment via Hyperwallet (2 Months Later)

Posted on by . 2 Replies

Good morning everyone, I hope you had a great weekend.  Back in December 2022, Laura and I were both impacted by the Southwest Airlines travel disruption.  I filled out the online form, provided our alternative travel receipts (we ended up flying Alaska Airlines instead of Southwest Airlines), and then received this Southwest Airlines confirmation email with our case number.  That was back on December 30, 2022, and I expected to hear back from Southwest Airlines sometime in January.

On January 4, we did receive 2 emails regarding Southwest Airlines Gesture of Goodwill 25,000 Point Award Codes (which I wrote about here), but we didn’t hear anything about our case number through the end of February.  Since the email below does not have an email address that you can respond to, I submitted another request with Southwest Airlines and asked for a status update on our case.

How to Add (MOST) Chase Credit Cards to ApplePay Wallet Directly from Chase App

Posted on by . Leave a reply

Good afternoon everyone, I hope your week is going well.  I was talking to my friend last night about adding Chase credit cards to his ApplePay Wallet and he wasn’t aware you could add them to the ApplePay Wallet directly from the Chase app.  So in today’s post, I will show you how to do that.  It appear there are 2 slightly different versions / interfaces of the Chase app, depending if you have both personal and business credit cards in the same login, or if you only have personal credit cards (scroll to the middle of this post to see those steps).

Personal and Business Credit Cards in the Same Login

Sign into the Chase app and click on the credit card you want to add to your ApplePay Wallet.  I selected my Chase Sapphire Preferred Credit Card.

PSA: ApplePay **DOES NOT WORK** with Chase IHG Rewards Select, Premier, or Business Credit Cards [Partially Resolved]

Posted on by . 9 Replies

Updated at 6:15pm PT on 2/6/23: This evening, I was able to add my Chase IHG Select Credit Card and Chase IHG Premier Credit Card to ApplePay, but I was not able to add my Chase IHG Business Credit Card.  My friend is still not able to add either of the personal IHG credit cards.

Good afternoon everyone, I hope your week is off to a great start.  Earlier today, I noticed a great Chase Offer on several Chase credit cards for $5 off a $10 restaurant purchase.  I added the Chase Offer to all my eligible Chase credit cards, including my Chase IHG Select Credit Card (no longer available) and Chase IHG Rewards Premier Credit Card.  I don’t carry all of my credit cards with me, so I planned on adding those 2 Chase IHG credit cards to my ApplePay Wallet.  Unfortunately, after several attempts and after speaking with a few Chase phone reps, I learned that the personal IHG credit cards and the Chase IHG Rewards Premier Business Credit Card do not work on ApplePay.

Wild Prediction: Chase Freedom Unlimited will Change to 2X Everywhere

Posted on by . 10 Replies

Good afternoon everyone, I hope your week is going well.  As you know, I like to make Wild & Crazy Airline, Hotel & Credit Card Predictions.  Today’s prediction missed the official 2023 deadline, but it just came to me, so I thought it was worth sharing.  As I reminder, I am 100% correct 1% correct on my predictions, so take this with a grain of salt.

As a reminder, the Chase Freedom Unlimited Credit Card currently earns 1.5% cash back everywhere (1.5X Chase Ultimate Rewards per dollar).  That used to be great until the likes of the Citi Double Cash Credit Card (2% cash back everyone / 2x Citi ThankYou Points), American Express Blue Business Plus Credit Card (2X Membership Rewards Points everywhere), Capital One Venture X Credit Card (2X Capital One Miles everywhere), and the handful of other 2% cash back cards came onto the scene.

Bank of America Alaska Airlines Business Credit Card Upcoming Changes March 2023 (New 2x Earning Categories + 10% Relationship Bonus)

Posted on by . 6 Replies

Good afternoon everyone, I hope you had a great weekend.  Doctor of Credit covered the recently announced changes to the Bank of America Alaska Airlines Credit Card, but I haven’t seen an update to the Bank of America Alaska Airlines Business Credit Card yet.  Luckily, I just got this letter in the mail that covers the upcoming changes to business credit card.  “Effective March 2023, the Annual Fee on your company account will increase to $70 on your next company account anniversary date, and the annual fee per card will be $25, assessed on the anniversary of each card.”  The “company account” used to be $50, so the combined annual fee will increase from $75 to $95 in a few months.

Effective immediately, card holders will get an earlier boarding position (probably boarding group C, since elite members are boarding groups A + B).  You can also get a $100 discount off the $650 Alaska Lounge+ Membership if you pay with this credit card.  Lastly, you and any authorized users who pay for Alaska flights with this credit card will get priority boarding and first checked bag free.

Effective March 2023, this card will earn 2x at gas stations, local transit / rideshare, and shipping.  The 3x for Alaska flights and 1x everywhere else will not change.  Lastly, if you have an “eligible Bank of America small business account,” you will get a 10% reward bonus.  See the backside of this letter for more details about all of these changes.
