You cannot transfer from Choice Hotels to Capital One.
You can only transfer from Capital One to Choice Hotels.
It is a one-way street.
All bank programs are like this.

Is paying the extra 2.5% worth it to you?
Depending on your rent, that could add up to a significant amount.

Hope for a yes, but be prepared for a no.
You agreed to the terms, and you missed them.
That’s your responsibility, not theirs.
I’ve never heard of AMEX extending the deadline for spending, though I did recently hear about another bank extending someone’s deadline because of special circumstances.

For Dubai, I recommend staying closer to the areas you’ll be visiting to avoid traffic congestion, which can be quite challenging.
My experience at the Hilton Dubai Palm Jumeirah was beautiful, but the commute to other areas took longer than expected due to traffic.

I really like the Tomtoc Backpack from Amazon.
Sitting in the Dublin airport after using this backpack and it performed beautifully and was a bit over $80.00 when I purchased it.

FoundersCard Review - Is It Worth It?
The FoundersCard is a unique offering; designed for small-businesses, it's a membership card that offers high-end travel and lifestyle perks.

I believe you can book through Chase travel via phone and use UR points to pay but probably the redemption rate is horrible.

MemberFebruary 4, 2024 at 10:18 pm in reply to: If I Am Authorized User, Can I Still Get Credit Card Sign Up Bonus?Being an AU will not prevent you from receiving the very same card in your own name.
This Barclay Aviator Red promo is for a limited time, so if I were you, I’d apply ASAP and make your P2 an AU.
Between the two of you, it’s an easy 150,000 AA miles windfall!

MemberJanuary 18, 2024 at 6:11 am in reply to: Do Cancun Car Rentals Require Third Party Insurance?Credit card insurance typically covers only the damages to the rented car, not to third parties.
Hence, most countries mandate third-party liability insurance.
Even in the US, I always opt for third-party liability insurance.
I find it hard to comprehend how one can drive without it, unless there is another insurance policy in place that covers third-party liability.

Very easy.

Depends on the seat layout, but food is not on par with most, some good and interesting wine choices.
Cabin crew are generally great, really down to earth, friendly and helpful.

I was there last year.
No visa needed as a US tourist for a few days or weeks.
