Ran into the Mexican car insurance scam with Budget in Merida, Mexico đČđœ
Base rate was $18 USD a day, but if you didn't get the CDW costing minimum $85 USD a day, I had to put down a deposit of 330,000 MXN / $16,000 USD which obviously got rejected by all my credit cards.

Pleasantly surprised by Cathay Pacific's service for oneworld emerald customers even in economy. Middle seat was automatically blocked off, multiple FAs came by to greet me, was given a bottle of water and a blanket / pillow

Starting today, January 20, 2022, you can order one of the two Art x Platinum designs for your American Express Platinum consumer card (not Business Platinums currently).
Sign in to your account, click on your Platinum card, and go to Account Services > Replace a Card > I want to change my Card’s design. It only worked for my vanilla Plat; it doesn’t seem like we can replace Schwab or other Plats yet.
Here’s a quick guide on how to request the reopening of a US Bank credit card that either you closed or was closed due to inactivity. Sorry, don’t think this helps if your card was closed because you got banned. đ
Unlike other banks, US Bank is a little more old school and requires a written request to reopen a closed account. Here is what you need:
Cardmember ServicePO Box 6361Fargo, ND 58125-6361FAX: 1-800-670-4834Pro-Tip: You can take your document to any US Bank branch and they will fax it to the number for you for free. If you would like to do it from home and don’t have a fax machine, I love using HelloFax (5 free fax pages when you sign up with my link). It’s simple and fast! Just don’t select the option to send it in high quality/color, because this sends them a fax containing a link to the document rather than faxing them the document itself.
Gopuff (my referral) has been working hard on marketing lately. I’ve been getting ads everywhere for them, and every time I walk past a BevMo (Gopuff acquired BevMo for $350MM in Nov 2020) I see a tent sign about Gopuff outside the entrance. I’ve seen Chase offers for them, and there’s currently even a targeted 99% off Boost up to $25 off in Cashapp for it.
Gopuff also recently announced a Gopuff x Chase benefit where you can get $10 credit per month per Chase card you have through 12/31/2023. Nearly every Chase card qualifies (except Amazon, it seems). The Ink cards also get the credit, even though it’s not officially on the list.
Hi all, this seems like such a silly post to write, but I’ve seen a lot of people complain about how different setting up an auto-pay for a credit card at Bank of America is compared to other banks, and how it’s led to missing a payment, getting interest charges, late fees, etc. I’m so used to having all my cards on auto-pay that this happened to me once too. Setting it up is definitely more tedious and requires more clicking around than other banks. So hopefully this post documenting the process helps someone out there.
I was chatting with Amex tonight to transfer a huge refund I got on one card to to 3 other Amex cards I have. Here is a quick breakdown of what I found:
You must mail a letter (there’s no form) to:
Business Card Services
PO Box 84030
Columbus, GA 31908-4030
Here’s a template letter I wrote:
To whom it may concern:
I would like to set up autopay on my account [INSERTÂ CARD ACCOUNT NUMBER].
Routing number: [ROUTING]
Account number: [ACCOUNT]
[CHECKING or SAVINGS?]
I would like autopay to pay the previous statement balance each month [or to pay the minimum required each month].
Thank you,
[YOUR NAME]
Hope this helps anyone out there searching for how to do the same! I asked if there is a fax number or email we could send this to instead, and there is none.
Update: I called them 2 weeks after I sent the letter, and they confirmed that my account was set up for Autopay. It’s not apparent anywhere in my online account. Also, while I was on the phone with them, they explained the following things, which you can take with a grain of salt, I’m just reporting what they told me–
On 2/12, I signed up for Privacy.com (Doctor of Credit review here) so I could generate temporary credit card numbers (linked to bank account, but they have a 1% cashback program) mainly for the purpose of signing up for trials and such without having to give out my real credit card number and address.
Immediately after signing up and connecting my Wells Fargo bank account, I received an email saying, “For your security, your account is pending review by our staff before being activated. You’ll be notified within 1 business day by email when the review is complete!”
I never got an email. No phone calls either.
On 2/18, I tried to create a temporary credit card on the site, but it kept saying, “contact support@privacy.com.” So I emailed them and said I was unable to create a card.
This was their response:

However, for the first time in 2 years, I had a flight delayed by more than 3 hours from HKG-TPE. As a result, my group and I got to TPE past midnight and had to make some major changes to our plans which incurred some significant expenses. As we know, Citi Prestige has the most generous flight delay policies, and after this successful claim, it’s possibly it will be the only reason I would consider keeping the card. Now if Citi ever dilutes these policies, then I would still change it in a heartbeat. So Citi…if you’re reading this, thanks for having an awesome policy and please don’t change it anytime soon! <3
One awesome part of the benefit I must mention is that the cardholder does not need to be on the trip in order for it to be covered. The trip must be paid for at least in part by the Citi Prestige, or by Thank You Points, and covers any immediate family even if the cardholder is not traveling. However, if the cardholder is traveling, then the coverage extends to traveling companions, even if they are not family members!
P.S. if you’re looking to file a Chase Sapphire Preferred/Reserve/Ink trip delay claim, check out this awesome reddit post here. The process is pretty similar.
How to File a Citi Prestige Trip Delay Claim (Guide to Benefits)
Cards that include these benefits include the Chase Sapphire Reserve, the Chase Ritz Carlton Rewards, the Citi Prestige, and the Amex Platinum/Premier Rewards Gold card. But how are you supposed to remember what your benefits are when you’re already in an emergency situation, and may not have internet access or need assistance quickly?
icemule1 from r/churning has made some handy dandy roadside assistance benefits cheatsheets for the most common high end cards that I mentioned above. Print them out, keep them in your wallet. I can see this being super useful for myself just in case.
