This week on Happy Hour we discuss:
In Credit Cards
Update on cashing out chase points- progress so far (also are you buying gift cards mostly?)
*** the new Chase Sapphire Preferred and Chase Sapphire Benefits and the Chase Sapphire Reserve Travel Credit Changes,
More Amex Shutdowns and RAT Team Issues,
Manufactured Spending,
Upgrading to American Express Platinum.
The new Las Vegas Hotel, Circa Resort and Casino and how they’re attempting to distinguish themselves from other Las Vegas casinos.
Best restaurants in Las Vegas.
Why the concept of travel shaming and face mask wars are silly regardless of which side you’re on.
How cool would a 4K travel credit be? There’s a lot of buzz around a new government proposal?
Details: 4000 Travel tax credit 2020 per year to travel before Jan. 1, 2022. Joint filers would receive $8,000, with an additional $500 credit for dependent children.
Travelers must vacation within the United States and its territories, and must be more than 50 miles away from the traveler’s primary home.
Must pay for their travel, as business travel expenses don’t qualify. those who own a vacation home can claim transportation, food, beverage and live entertainment towards their credit, the credit can’t be used to pay the mortgage, interest or home maintenance.
CSP and CSR now have a limited time “Pay Yourself Back tool” that allows customers to redeem Ultimate Rewards points for statement credits against purchases in the following current categories: grocery stores, dining (including restaurants, takeout, and eligible delivery services), and home improvement stores such as Home Depot and Lowes. Just choose an eligible purchase you made in the past 90 days, apply points for all or part of the purchase, and you’ll get a statement credit. Take advantage of this promotion through September 30, 2020.

Amex platinum
American Express Platinum
American Express Hilton Aspire
Amex announced that the $250 Hilton resort credit can be used towards U.S. restaurants (including takeout and delivery) from June through the end of August. I happened to get very lucky with the timing of the credit because my card membership year ended on June 12th and the resort credit is based on card member year as opposed to calendar year, so I am essentially able to double dip the credit- which means (yep you guessed it) I’m gonna keep the card.I could downgrade the card later this year if I don’t plan on staying at any Hiltons- so that’s a definitely money saving possibility. When you downgrade an Amex card you receive a pro-rated refund on the annual fee.
American Express Platinum Credits
I was planning on downgrading both the Personal and Business Platinum Cards this year but of course they added $240 and $340 worth of benefits I could actually use so I guess 2021 will be the year I actually pull the trigger.
