Spend $10, get $10? Yes please! All of the Paze purchases I have made this far have been credited. My first purchase was June 23rd and the most recent June 29th. They all show June 30th for some reason.
I purchased Wendy's, newegg Dunkin' and Domino's. I shared the food with family and friends. Not the healthiest but when sharing I don't overeat. The newegg purchases were all for things I needed.
Hi- anyone been able to appeal Chase sapphire preferred card decision?
I have the CSR and my credit score is 775. I applied for the CSP and was denied for the following:
We based our decision on the following reason(s)
• You already have the maximum amount of credit we can offer you
• Your current amount of credit is enough in relation to your income
Any thoughts? Thanks!
The points multiplier and travel statement credit is great, but the travel portal is still a 3rd party service. Too many people book blindly without taking an important final step, and it can wind up causing problems down the line if your fight is cancelled or changed.
After booking through Chase Travel (OR ANY 3RD PARTY like Expedia or Booking.com), you should always always always download the airline’s app, input your confirmation number, and add your booking to the app.
You should monitor this app and check on your booking with increasing frequency as you approach the flight date. So many posts about issues with flights booked through the travel portal could have been avoided by checking on the itinerary.
Further, you should use the airline’s app to check in as soon as it becomes available, but that’s just good sense no matter how you booked or where you’re flying to.
Thousands of flights get changed or cancelled every day. The earlier you catch the problem, the easier it is to fix it. Communication between airlines and 3rd parties is unreliable, so it is the responsibility of the traveler to be mindful of their flight status.

I was able to get in touch with the executive team through Facebook/Instagram and they apologized honoring the pricematch plus 5,000 points.
So I made VRBO purchase (deposit) for $836.31 on my CSP expecting to earn 3x for VRBO. It was a beach rental agency who had the rental listed. It posted on my CSP as $689.31 to the rental agency and only $147 to VRBO. So I earned only 1x on the $689.31 and 3x on VRBO $147. I don't believe I have ever seen VRBO post like this. Disappointing for sure.
Grabbed some snacks at Buc-ee’s (no gas, just food) and noticed it hit as “Grocery stores and supermarkets” on the merchant type instead of gas/convenience like I’d expect.
Not sure if this is new or just varies by location, but figured I’d share in case it helps someone’s category planning.
I just read that new card members can earn 100k points if spending $5,000 in first 3 months. If a spouse signs up, can we combine our points later? If so, how? Thank you.
So I’ve been using the Freedom Unlimited and Freedom Flex for a few months, and I’ve recently started using a Bilt Obsidian for rent and groceries. This system has worked well for me because my main airline is Southwest and my main hotels (when I stay at hotels, which isn’t super often). I had around 20k points laying around from my Freedom cards, and I wanted to transfer them to Southwest so I could get flights to visit my brother for a Football game. However, I’m running into a conundrum. Now that I have the card, I obviously wanna hit that $5k in 3 months to get that sweet, sweet 100k points.
I’m a fairly conservative spender. I make around $3500/month a month from 2 jobs, but a lot of my bills I can’t pay with a credit card (mainly car loan at $250 and Student Loans at $340). It would’ve been nice if I could just use the card to pay the next few months “in advance” but it is what it is. I absolutely DO NOT want to carry a balance on any credit cards, in fact. The major expense that could cover the $5k is my combined rent I pay with my roommates, which, for all 3 of us combines to $3k, but I would obviously have to eat the fee, which I don’t have to on built. I also am pretty aggressive with my emergency fund and Roth IRA, I put about $700-$800 a month in these combined, but again, not much I can do.
Anyone have any advice on things I can do to not tbh $5k goal by October? I was considering working on replacing my older gaming laptop with a mix of a gaming PC and a MacBook Air refurb/Neo, so one of those could help, but otherwise I feel like I have to eat that $90 fee for paying rent with a credit card to hit the $5k. Any advice would be appreciated!
Had a quick 2-night stop in Hong Kong on the way to Japan, so it seemed like a good opportunity to use the Edit credit. My husband and I each booked a room for 2 nights (one for the teenage kids). Used points so we paid $1.49 per room.
Great service, central location, very nice gym with sufficient equipment. Good breakfast (not a buffet, but sufficient options); nice view from the restaurant. We were able to check into our rooms at 10:30 am. They had just flown from Boston, so the early check in was appreciated. Used the $100 credit for room service right away.
The hotel doesn’t have a lobby or other common spaces to hang out in, and the roof deck was being renovated. But the price was right! HK is a fabulous city. I’ve spent a lot of time in mainland China, so I was glad to have a chance to see how different the two are (and Macau as well).
Can the entire $500 credit be used on a single prepaid hotel booking that costs more than $500 (for example, a $900 booking), or is the credit capped per stay/night or split across multiple bookings?
Hi everybody,
I’m traveling to California in October. I don’t drive and I don’t have auto insurance. Could the Chase Sapphire reserve auto insurance along with supplemental liability insurance be good enough for my insurance needs?
I’ve never seen a review of this property so I wanted to share my experiences for people who are planning to stay here in the future.
This is also my first time staying at a luxury hotel, so everything is new to me.
I stayed two nights at the Kimpton Qiantan Shanghai using The Edit and IHG Credit. I also used points boost with the remaining points I had left so I paid $70 for two nights.
ROOM/CHECK-IN: I came into the hotel around noon time and I was able to check-in early. The hotel receptionist said that I received an “upgrade” but it did not feel like one, it was just a higher floor. There was a welcome amenity of fruits, but I did not receive it till the next day. I also received a 60 Yuan voucher for being a platinum member. The room was nice itself, and the best bed mattress I’ve ever had a hotel. The bathroom came with a personal TV inside the mirror, a rain shower, and a huge square bathtub. The toilet has its own room separate from the bathroom.
PROPERTY/LOCATION: The hotel by itself is stunning, but the location is the only downside for this property (about 30 mins drive from the main area). The area around the hotel is great as it has many shopping malls, cafes, and restaurants close to it. The gym was great, but the main part of the show is the rooftop pool. It was raining and cloudy when I was there, but I wish I have swam in the pool because it has an incredible view of the skyline. I can’t imagine how it will look like if the weather was clear.
BREAKFAST/CREDIT: Breakfast is a buffet style, with a mix of Chinese and Western cuisine. The hotel does switch up some parts menu for breakfast daily, so it doesn’t feel repetitive eating the same breakfast two days in a row. Overall, it was great, no complaints about it.
I was able to use my $100 dining credit at the bar. The bar was definitely way too expensive to my liking and I would not have gone there if I didn’t have my dining credit. The credit cannot be used towards room service, so the bar was the only place I could use it at. Just a burger and drink almost used up by $100 dining credit already.
SERVICE: I mean WOW. Service was incredible. I’ve never had this type of service in my life before, so it was definitely a shock when I first arrived there. When I first arrived, there was already a staff waiting at the front of the hotel, which he took all my luggages and guided me to check-in. After check-in, I insisted I did not need help to take my luggage into my room, but they still did it anyway. The staff personally guided me into my room all the way from the lobby. After check-out, the staff took my luggages and help me loaded into the trunk of my uber driver. Even when I was walking around the property, the staff was super friendly and asked if I needed any directions or questions.
Would I stay here again? Yes of course. Everything in this hotel exceeded my expectations and I would highly recommend this hotel if anyone is visiting Shanghai, even without the Edit or IHG credit. I would definitely be staying here in the future again. If you want a quiet and peaceful property away from the crowded/bustling area of Shanghai, this property might be the perfect place for you.
How far ahead of a concert date?
So I used PAZEto buy my StubHub ticket got 10 X points on the $300 charge, the ticket was 434 I bought a gift card for $100 with 20% back from DoorDash few days ago then I got my $150 credit back plus on Capital One shopping they had a special spend 100 get 100 back thru cap1 shopping! Plus 10 off with PAZE!!! What an amazing stack!! Loving this credit. Will be seeing Queens of the Stone Age and foo fighters later September
FINALLY, checked out the Chase Sapphire Lounge by The Club at the Las Vegas Harry Reid International Airport (LAS). Located at Terminal 1, Concourse C near Gate C23. Soooooo I thought it would be empty at 430AM at opening, but nope there was a line of people cracked out (probably didn't go to sleep) along with a waitlist WOW. They are open daily 430AM to 11PM. Waited on the waitlist for 15 minutes, which seems super short compared to others I've talked to that have waited 1~2 hours during the day time! Speaking with the staff, apparently maximum capacity is 87 members which is on the smaller end compared to other Chase Sapphire Lounge like the New York LaGuardia (LGA) lounge which is 4x larger than the LAS lounge.
I loved the interior and decor, felt artsy and fancy haha. Once I entered, I was greeted with fancy gummy bears and drinks. It felt hectic and noisy right outside the lounge, but quiet and peaceful inside. The spaces are cozy with comfy couches all over, felt like someone's home living room in upper Manhattan. All the couches were different colors or accents and they did a good job. The bar has nice comfy high seats as well with gold accents.
The food was great, apparently the menu is created by Momofuku. I really enjoyed the spicy cucumber salad and the Momofuku pork buns! The pork buns aren't cheap, so it was amazing to eat them free here haha. The nori potatoes I was not a fan of, felt like the crisp was gone and felt a little stale. However, when a fresh batch came out, I tried it and that made a HUGE difference for the nori potatoes! They had a great variety of food including the Sapphire burger which was a good classic burger with smashed meat patty, nothing spectacular or amazing, but a great solid burger. Mmmmm the lemon bar was a lovely dessert!
The drinks, mmmmm chef's kiss. Not only was the selection tasty, but also lovely presentation. They offer an array of spritz cocktails with SEASONAL themes as well. The ginger, hibiscus, lavender spritz and the blood orange lemon sochu were 2 favorites of mine. The nori, cucumber, blood orange, with gin was another excellent option. The bar is full size with wine, beer, cocktails, and nonalcoholic dranks. They serve local Dark Moon Coffee Roasters as well!
Again, I've bee to many lounges but this is my first Chase Sapphire Lounge and I was happy with the experience. Since the staff told me there are larger, better Chase Sapphire Lounges, I hope to visit them as well, especially the New York location which they raved about!
Let me know below if you have any questions and I'll try my best to answer them!
Multiple attempts to aply. It says "We’re working on your application. Thanks for your patience." then nothing happens
Here’s my DP from a trip I just booked.
I was honestly a little surprised myself. I booked 4 nights at Banyan Tree Samui through the Chase Travel Edit portal. The total came to about $3,300, but I found the exact same stay through a third-party site for around $2,200.
The cancellation policies were slightly different. Chase Travel Edit allowed cancellation up to 15 days before the trip, while both the hotel's official website and the third-party site only allowed cancellation up to 30 days before arrival. Even with that difference, Chase approved my price match and refunded me the price difference, which is amazing!
If Chase keeps this benefit around, I might actually keep my CSR long-term. FHR would never lol
Here's something else I found interesting. I paid for the booking with my CSP, which I just opened, so this purchase should help me earn my welcome bonus. I was surprised that Chase still let me pay with my CSP while keeping the Travel Edit benefits.
Do you guys think this is because I have both the CSR and CSP at the same time, or is it just a system quirk? Also, will the hotel verify which card I used to pay when I check in? If they notice I paid with a card that isn't eligible for Travel Edit, is there any chance they could deny the Edit benefits?
Hello fellow dudes,
Looking for suggestions on products (mostly guy colognes) so I can use the Sephora through paze credit return. If not, I’m open to other suggestions; I’m all filled up on dominos.
Total: ~$1990 (actual)
Paid (after $750 edit & hotel credits): 48.1k points + $446 (I needed points for something else so I paid.)
Room: Premium Room, 2 Twin Beds
Length: 4 Nights broken up into two reservations (May)
Early Check-In: Yes, Checked In at 11:30am
Upgrade: No (Downside of booking 2 twin beds 🙃)
Welcome Amenities: AMAZING Chocolate & Sparking Water
Notes:
- Breakfast is buffet style, but you can get the eggs and coffee made to order. Good balance of savory & sweet options.
- They have a happy hour where they give out free wine everyday. My friend loved it.
- Qualified for the $250 Chase hotel credit as well as the edit credits
- They will not give you two of the $100 credits if you book two separate reservations back to back. Shout out to Chase for rectifying that!
- Remember: The $100 credit is in USD, but everything in the hotel is (obviously) in Euros.
- There’s no pool 😩. It was in the 80s when we were there so it would’ve been nice to have one.
- 10-15min walk from centraal station (easy to get to & from the airport), close to other public transportation, and is walking distance from everything else. I never needed an uber.
- The staff was kind & helpful.
Heads up. Doordash has a 50% off non-restaurant discount that ends 7/5, applies up to $25. I just stacked it with my $10 monthly benefit to reload on protein bars from Target. I ordered enough to eliminate all fees except tip, and paid $41.56 total for product that costs $60 on sale at Walmart and it gets dropped at my door.
