What’s Up with Grant? CA Fires, CVS-AMEX, Citi Photo Cards, Update on Checkout51, and Hamburg/Copenhagen Planning

What's On My Mind

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).

Chargeback

Umm, what the heck is a reversal of chargeback and why do you do this to me AMEX??

Frequent Traveler University (FTU) Seattle This Weekend (April 25-27)

FTU SEA

Frequent Traveler University (FTU) Seattle This Weekend (April 25-27)

Good evening everyone, this is just a heads up that I will be in Seattle this weekend for Frequent Traveler University – a travel convention for miles and points junkies (agenda).  The event is sold out, but hopefully you can make it to a future FTU event or the Chicago Seminars.

I am also getting my Global Entry tomorrow morning, which I am very excited about, compliments of my Mercedes Benz Platinum American Express Credit Card.

If you see me this weekend (you will recognize me by my Travel with Grant t-shirt), come say hi.  I can’t promise I will tell you any secrets, but I can’t promise I won’t (just depends how many beers I have tomorrow night).

I am staying at the Seattle Airport Hilton ($50 + 12,000 Hilton HHonors Points per night) which is walking distance to the Seattle Airport Marriott.  Let me know if you are going and if you are staying at the Hilton.  Gunna be a fun weekend, hope to see some of you there!
