TLDR: does the number of bonus collecting opportunities dry up if you shop less?

Has anyone else had the feeling that the bonuses are drying up if they don’t shop as often? I have two daughters, so when they were teens it was constant-feminine hygiene products, hair care products, skincare, etc. made collecting points very easy. Now that they have moved out I’m not shopping as often. And the bonus offers aren’t happening as often either. Are the bonus offers tied to how often you shop/how much you spend? I’m not talking about how many points you get, I’m talking about the frequency of the offers. I used to get 2-3 texts a week with bonus opportunities, now I’m lucky if I get one!

Has anyone else had the experience of adding things to your order on the app and then those items don’t come in your delivery and aren’t on the receipt? What causes this? For example, I placed an order yesterday and had PC Greek Yogurt in the order. Checked it around 11pm before I went to bed and it was there. Got our order this morning and it’s no longer on the order and therefore wasn’t in our delivery or on the receipt.

It’s not the biggest deal, but it happens often and is annoying. Is it an app bug or something on the store end?

I'm interested in upgrading to the Elite MC, and I thought I read here that there is/was a bonus if you apply in an in-store kiosk. The issue is that these kiosks never seemed to be "open" in my area, and Customer Support in the Philippines said they have no info about the hours, or even locations that are actually operational.

Would it be worth the effort to track down an open kiosk for this? Thanks

I hate this credit card. I was offered a free upgrade and no annual fee for first year and thought I’d give it a try, but I never quite seemed to get much out of it PC points wise. I knew the renewal was up in January of this year, and checked my statement and there was $120 fee, plus a reversal of $120 same day, so figured there’s no harm in keeping it if it is still a free card. In June I’m looking through my last two statements, and there is an annual fee correction of $120 on April 28. I called to cancel/downgrade and they tell me it’s not possible! that I waited too long to call so I am not able to cancel or get back even a portion of it!
If someone does not want the card, why force them into it? Why credit me the annual fee just to charge it again 4 months later? Why not send an email text or letter giving the client the heads up that Annual free is changing. I hate how sneaky these banks are. I am not sure if or how i can escalate this. Their customer service rep gave me the option to downgrade, but said they wouldn’t do anything about the annual fee.

I know this has been asked before but I can only find old posts on this when SDM used to sell the PS5. Now that they no longer sell it, is there any way to use this redemption event to get a PS5? Ex. Are Best Buy gift certificates available as part of the promotion?
