credidimus Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 I had some grilled salmon at OG a few years back - it tasted fine and didn't upset my stomach... You have low expectations. Olive GardenTM is perfect for you. the key part of my post was "a few years back" Sadly, here in Utah there are not many options for sea food. Red Lobster has become my go-to for it these days.

Cappy Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 <p> The offers on the Amex site are often limited to one per Amex login (or one per customer... I forget). Don't believe those rumors... The tricks for loading to multiple cards don't always work anymore, and I do know how to do it.Always works for me on 8 and my wife on 5. And I've been adding tons of offers to purchase random gift cards for resale. Just today I loaded Best Buy to 8 personal cards, Best Buy 2x MR's to 5 cards, Kate Spade to combined 13 cards, Macys to combined 10 cards. I have 5% on Staples loaded to 5 biz and 4 pers, underarmor to all 13, Tea Collection to all 13, Samsung Pay, Coffee Bean etc etc etc etc. Samsung My plan is to go to Best Buy and purchase an iPad Pro 12.9" (32 GB wifi) for $799, then: - I have a $100 off student coupon on the item itself, - I would split the payment onto three Amices that have this Twitter offer, and that will save another 3 x $25 = $75. If the Twitter offer won't work on all three Amices I will sit it out and wait for a sale around the holidays. I'm not in a big hurry, I'm just ready to move on from my two-year-old Samsung Tab Pro 12.2. Done. I used the student coupon, and split the payment across three Amices laoded with the Best Buy offer. I received three email confirmations, each confirming that I'd used the offer on the respective card. Summary: iPad $799.00 Student coupon -100.00 Tax + 52.43 Amex offer (SPG) - 25.00 Amex offer (Green) - 25.00 Amex offer (EveryGay) - 25.00 Total 676.43 Also earned: 2% (on $699 purchase price) in Best Buy Rewards to spend later = $13.98 500 MR points from the payment on the Green (also had Best Buy 2x MR spending offer) 500 MR points from the payment on the EveryGay (also had Best Buy 2x MR spending offer) 252 Starwood points for the payment on the SPG I just held one of these 12" iPads. Way too big! You should probably consider the 9.7" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hegemony Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 (edited) so amex denied my "offers" promo for a hilton stay on my Platinum card. I provided screen shots, etc. frontline CSRs gave me a modicum of MR points but whomever they talked to told me to FOAD (yes I HUCAed). While the MR points lessen the pain, I'm out a lot of HHonors points for using the Platinum card instead of Hhonors card. Amex offers is the new Discovery rewards program... ETA: Interestingly, this is the first time ever I wasn't sent an email asking me to rate my CSR experience Edited July 19, 2016 by hegemony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The offer was $60 back spending $300 (folio was over $600). I received 2,500 MR points.

I've never had a problem with amex offers before. I called 30 days after the stay and was told the terms say it will credit 90 days AFTER the end of the promo offer... which meant July 15th. Called this week and got rocks. If these becomes a pattern it will become harder to justify the amex platinum annual fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jkk4life Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 I have this offer on one of my business card: AT&T Small Business WirelessSpend $200+, Get 2,000 Bonus Points Fine print says: Offer valid for wireless bill pay for AT&T AutoPay and one-time payment only. In order to be eligible for the offer, you must enroll your Card and use that Card to pay your wireless bill or other service charges online directly with AT&T at att.com/smallbusiness Does anyone think this would work if I pay my regular personal At&t bill? Seems from the fine print it wouldn't work, but not sure how they would be able to tell the difference? Has anyone tried this yet? I can guinea pig but it's a 1000 UR point mistake if I use this instead of my INK card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Bear Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 (edited) Book Delta® on amextravel.com You can get 2X Membership Rewards® points plus still earn miles from Delta, if you are a SkyMiles member, when you book Delta on amextravel.com. Terms Apply. Having trouble figuring out if this will still give 3x MR points on PRG or if this is actually a downgrade offer??

cv91915 Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 (edited) I just did a quick inventory of which cards still have unused Google Express offers, and I was relieved not to find any, since I have a bunch for boxed.com to use next...

That was my assumption, but since it was offered on my PRG I didn't know if there was some double dipping possible as I'm booking some flights this week.
