What’s Up with Grant? CA Fires, CVS-AMEX, Citi Photo Cards, Update on Checkout51, and Hamburg/Copenhagen Planning
Good morning everyone! California has a had a rough couple of days deals with several forest fires. I hope my friends/family/readers in San Diego County are all doing ok. Thank you for all the hard work from the fire fighters and other respondents. I am going down to San Diego on Saturday June 7 (3 weeks from today) to meet a friend of mine. She is a big miles/points aficionado like myself, so I wanted to know if anyone would like to join us, a very casual miles/points meetup. The time and place has yet to be decided, but it will probably be in the afternoon on Saturday.
Also, I have been a *really bad* blogger this week. I haven’t posted anything in the last 3-4 days so I apologize for not keeping you up to date on the latest miles/points news:
- Southwest Airlines credit card now 50,000 mile sign up bonus
- Barclays Arrival Plus credit card now with chip and pin and the same sign up bonus
- Chase Ink Bold/Plus credit card now with 60,000 Chase UR Points
- American Express Daily Deals, maybe I should say “deals”, not too impressive this year
- Evolve Pay now you can pay with some credit cards (mostly MasterCard)
- Charlotte Mile Madness reviews
- Whatever else I missed
Just because I haven’t been writing the last few days doesn’t mean I haven’t been experimenting with different topics/ideas. I have some pretty good posts in the pipeline. One post that’s been 1+ month in the making is my headache of a problem dealing with CVS and my American Express Target card. Have you ever had a situation where neither company could help, but then you decided to do a 3 way conference call and have them speak directly to each other and solve the problem? Ya, that’s what happened here. I’m glad to finally have my $503.95 back. More info to come shortly (P.S. crazy story).
Umm, what the heck is a reversal of chargeback and why do you do this to me AMEX??
