Chase Manipulating Award Transfer to prevent their easy use I’m curious is there are any other others there who have run into Chase delaying the award travel points transfer for up to 7 days, effectively killing award reservations that only have a few-day grace period? Chase does cover themselves legally by saying that most travel…

needs to be scrapped in favor of a new, more modern app. I think we should be careful what we wish for. I can see them remaking the app with beautiful curves and intuitive workflow and then implementing a required “foreigner registration number” into the ticket purchase procedure. “We improved national security and ensured only…

I was planning to apply to a BizPlat and PerPlat in December, and just biding my time until that happened. I went 5k over MSR on my latest card (lots of unexpected expenses), the Hilton Surpass. It still can get a FNA after meeting $15k by end of year… although its value is questionable. I…

Howard Jarvis is funny Ballot Measure Information & Recommendations > No on 6 > Why we’re against it > Proposition 6 bans mandatory work requirements for state prison inmates.
