Do you have a Chase Ink Cash?
You could purchase no-fee Visa or Mastercard gift cards at 5x points and pay your rent in multiple $200 installments.
This is how I pay my kids’ tuition.
It takes time, but worth it to earn 3x Ultimate Rewards points after the 2% fee.
Otherwise, no, I wouldn’t recommend using a 2x card for something with a 2.5% fee.

MemberApril 9, 2024 at 10:09 pm in reply to: Do Airlines Lie About Weather Delays To Avoid Compensation?I guess it’s possible, and maybe an airline has used this excuse before.
However, they have to record and report operational delays to aviation officials in the countries where they operate.
This is to keep track of schedules and help flight control monitor trends.
So, an airline could lie about it, but there has to be accurate documentation that the public can usually access.

It offered an amazing breakfast buffet, a spacious gym, indoor and outdoor pools, a sauna, and hot tub facilities.
I loved my stay there!

No, I signed myself and P2 up for that card the same day, added each other as AUs on our cards, and we both got the bonus.
Under no circumstance will being an AU on a card prevent you from getting that same card and bonus in the future.

MemberJanuary 31, 2024 at 2:13 pm in reply to: Does Primary CDW Credit Card Car Insurance Work With Points?Usually, no credit card would cover the car rental insurance when you redeem points.
Check your card’s insurance policy, for example, Amex only covers when you “pay for the entire rental”: https://www.americanexpress.com/us/credit-cards/features-benefits/policies/car-rental-loss-and-damage-insurance-terms.html
Also when “You use Your Eligible Card to reserve and pay for the Entire Rental and decline the personal accident insurance and personal effects coverage at the Rental Company counter, You and Eligible Car Rental Claimants can be covered for losses related to Accidental Death or Dismemberment, Accidental Injury, and Damage to Car Rental Personal Property as a direct result of a Car Rental Accident or Theft of Car Rental Personal Property from a Rental Vehicle.”

They just started flying again a few days ago, but maybe your particular flight is not one of the ones they have going.
Best to call Lufthansa.

In the end, I couldn’t fly on the ticket because they were forcing me to check the bag all the way.

He paid at Staples / Idemia and the charge said TSA Precheck so he got reimbursed.
He did on September 4th and got his Known Traveler Number on October 29th.

MemberDecember 14, 2023 at 12:19 pm in reply to: Which Airlines Sell Around The World Tickets?We recently did one with Star Alliance.
12 flights, three continents, was very flexible and much cheaper than booking them individually.
I played around with the Star Alliance website, then went to a travel agent to book.
