Discover ApplePay 10% Bonus “One-Time Courtesy” Credits Not Posting on November Statements

Posted on by . 15 Replies

Good morning everyone.  A few days ago, I wrote Discover Honors ApplePay Gift Card Purchases as “One-Time Courtesy” through 9/17/2015.  In that post, I showed a few emails I received from Discover saying that they would provide a “one-time courtesy” for 2 different purchases made on September 17 and 18.  I was hoping to see the “one-time courtesy” credits post to my Discover It Credit Card statement in November (which closed on November 6), but that did not happen.

I only received $8.69 as “ApplePay 10% Cash Back Bonus” on my November statement.  The rest of my cash back was earned “Everywhere Else.”

SFO and LAS Centurion Lounge Meetup Game Plans

Posted on by . 7 Replies

Good evening everyone.  After lots of planning and several emails between American Express and the Centurion Lounge managers, the day has finally arrived.  Here is my game plan for tomorrow’s 2 Centurion Lounge meetups:

San Francisco Sign

SFO Centurion Lounge

I will arrive at SFO between 11:30am and 12pm.  If you get there before I do, please tell the front desk that you are here for the Travel with Grant meetup (I have a few tables reserved).  We can then grab lunch and drinks.  We can talk about miles, points, and travel for the next 2 hours.  The lounge manager will provide a behind-the-scenes tour of the lounge from 2:30-3pm.  I will then leave the lounge at 3pm and head to my Southwest Airlines flight to Las Vegas.   Continue reading →

New AMEX Offers for Newegg, Airbnb, Il Fornaio & More

Posted on by . 12 Replies

Good morning everyone, happy Wednesday!  I’ve got a few random news/deals items to share with you today.  Miles to Memories is my hero for reporting that you can still view the “Classic AMEX Offers” by clicking this link (bookmark it too!).  The old layout was much simpler than the new layout and I really hope American Express returns to the old layout.

Posted on by . 21 Replies

Good morning everyone.  It’s currently raining in the Bay Area (first time in a few weeks) and American Express subsequently flooded my account with 18 new AMEX Offers.  Yesterday, I wrote New AMEX Offers: Shop Small in November, Olive Garden, Chime Card Offers & BankAmeriDeals.  The new AMEX Offers I have today, include: Best Buy, Carter’s & OshKosh B’Gosh, Diapers.com, Godiva, Golfdom, Jetsetter, Maje Paris, Mervis Diamond Importers, Mr. Porter, The Outnet.com, The Raleigh Miami Beach, The Redbury South Beach, Sandro Paris, Samsonite, Seattle Coffee Gear, SLS South Beach, Sur La Table, and Theory.  The Best Buy offer might be the most interesting: spend $199 or more and get a $20 statement credit.

New AMEX Offers: Shop Small in November, Olive Garden, Chime Card Offers & BankAmeriDeals

Posted on by . 24 Replies

Updated 11/1/2015 at 11am PT: added a screenshot of the Shop Small AMEX Offer for AMEX Business cards ($20 off $100).

Good morning everyone, I hope you all had a safe and happy Halloween.  There is a new batch of AMEX Offers to share today.  Instead of Small Business Saturday (which would have been November 28 this year), American Express replaced that promotion with Shop Small in November.  If you use your enrolled AMEX card at any “qualifying small business” in November, you will get a $10 statement credit after making a $10 purchase.  The offer appeared on my Platinum, Blue Cash Everyday, and Old Blue Cash (no love for my AMEX Everyday cards).

There is also an offer for AMEX Business Cards: you will get a $20 statement credit after making a $100 purchase (thanks for the screenshot, Alex)
