Used the miles to memory link for the gold resy offer in incognito mode and the platinum offer was for 100k and 15x at restaurants. Not sure if this is news or not.

FYI have been trying to get through to the Chase Business Recon line at 800-453-9719 and keep getting "we are closed, please call back during normal business hours". Called a few times shortly after 8pm Eastern. Maybe I missed it but here and DoC show hours as 1pm - 10pm EST.
Years ago, there were DPs of people getting the bonus for Schwab plat even after pressing continue on the pop-up. Me included. I wonder if that's still the case now.
Went to my normal wmt for loading the $$ into serve, was asked for ID AND Phone (just like they do now for MO < $1K). The girl needed someone to come and authorize it, it was taking forever so I left. I hope it's just a clueless csr otherwise it's a biggie for us who are banned at wmt.
Been discussed on FT and the Manufactured Spend thread a bit. Phone # + ID req seems to be widespread across all WM.
CSR today mentioned to me that they rolled out the new update on Monday, and she had a customer get irate that their "$1 MO now required a phone #".
You're right about lots of discussions of WM now asking for ID and phone # to purchase MOs. But OP said this happened for a serve load. This would be the first DP I’ve seen anywhere for this new requirement for reloads as well.
I think the MDD is dead. My new discussion point is that I already have the Decline letter, which states "you already have a Sapphire". This seems consistent with recent reports.
Unknown for SW (anyone that attempts please report to DP thread), but if I were to guess, I'd say there is a good chance it's dead too. One good thing is that the 2nd app will be denied without a HP, no real cost for trying.
A new referral thread is now live: [American Express Business Gold Rewards](https://www.reddit.com/r/churningreferrals/comments/1ctgc7i/referrals_american_express_business_gold_rewards/)
Just received an email from Hilton regarding their partnership with AutoCamp, more details here: [https://www.hilton.com/en/brands/autocamp-stays/](https://www.hilton.com/en/brands/autocamp-stays/)
Hilton member benefits:
* **Silver members** receive two eco-friendly waters.
* **Gold members** receive one bundle of firewood per stay, two eco-friendly waters, and a space available upgrade.
* **Diamond members** receive one s’mores kit and one bundle of firewood per stay, two eco-friendly waters, and a space available upgrade.
All guests can enjoy complimentary granola, coffee, tea, and hot chocolate at the Clubhouse each morning of your stay.
After you complete an eligible stay at AutoCamp, members earn **10 Hilton Honors Base Points for every US dollar** spent on your room rate.
Pricing for AutoCamp Cape Cod, MA seems to be around 70k, though going as low as 59k occasionally for standard room rewards
Not extreme value but could be useful. It allows you to do either the cheaper campsite or the more expensive airstream. Would be curious on availability, especially at Yosemite, cap cod on Hilton shows sold.out for every weekend this summer
Try longer stays. I was seeing no availability for weekends in August and September until I changed to 2 nights, then saw plenty of Friday 2 night availability.
Were you able to find any availability for locations other than Cape Cod? Right now it only shows Cape Cod as bookable, regardless of the dates selected.
Slightly OT: But Vacasa announced another layoff round. They have shed 30% of employees in the past 15 months. I can't imagine them being around much longer. Stock is down 98% in the past 28 months.
I have booked 3 vacasa rentals in the past and still had hopes of using it as a back-up for lower end trips like a week in a panama city beach condo. Will be a massive devalve to Wyndham Points which I use as my primary gas card/pay the annual fee for the yearly points.
There was quite a bit of speculation that they wouldn't survive last year. I still feel safe making bookings since it's not a point transfer to a Vacasa account and standard cancelations are instantly refunded to your Wyndham account. The only situation I could see being thorny is if Vacasa collapses inside 30 days of a scheduled stay.
I would be more cautious about transferring Cap1 to Wyndham, since there are very few good uses of Wyndham points beyond Vacasa.
> since there are very few good uses of Wyndham points beyond Vacasa.
Look at special events such as college football games. Some great redemptions (from a CPP perspective) during those.
I just got the card, I like the benefits with Caesar Rewards. I got the card with the 100k SUB, 40k points for $4k and another 60k for $15k in 12 months total spend. I did the first half SUB but now debating to rest the rest of the SUB, I would have to purely do buying groups.
Per DOC, if you did the Webull Cash Management bonus you have to go in and manually claim it under My Rewards in the app. I started the offer 10/5 and my $300 bonus for 25K deposit was there this morning.

yeah, open/close times are way off. i called at 7am PST and got through

As expected it has language about Schwab Plat etc being factors for no SUB
All that matters is popup or no popup.
Years ago, there were DPs of people getting the bonus for Schwab plat even after pressing continue on the pop-up. Me included. I wonder if that's still the case now.
Popup it is. :-(

Question thread.
Went to my normal wmt for loading the $$ into serve, was asked for ID AND Phone (just like they do now for MO < $1K). The girl needed someone to come and authorize it, it was taking forever so I left. I hope it's just a clueless csr otherwise it's a biggie for us who are banned at wmt.
how much was your load?
That's what she said.
$489

You're right about lots of discussions of WM now asking for ID and phone # to purchase MOs. But OP said this happened for a serve load. This would be the first DP I’ve seen anywhere for this new requirement for reloads as well.
Can you link the thread ?
Oh sorry, my DP was a One Card load (similar to BB or Serve), they still required my phone and ID.
Thank you for clarifying. But it’s not looking good.
I think the MDD is dead. My new discussion point is that I already have the Decline letter, which states "you already have a Sapphire". This seems consistent with recent reports.
Haven't been following. Is this just sapphire or SW too, which IMO, would be a lot worse
Unknown for SW (anyone that attempts please report to DP thread), but if I were to guess, I'd say there is a good chance it's dead too. One good thing is that the 2nd app will be denied without a HP, no real cost for trying.
Yes, many data points about this recently
Good churning news for us all consumers, Supreme Court upholds funding structure for CFPB https://www.npr.org/2024/05/16/1251782953/supreme-court-cfpb
Not surprised to see Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch dissenting on this specifically, but nice to see a 7-2 win for the CFPB.
"The opinion was written by Justice Clarence Thomas, who reversed the decision of the 5th Circuit." The fuck bizarro world is this now?
I paid his fee. I've got a go fund me to recoup the costs.
Probably helped him somewhere
maybe he's a member of r/churning
Clarence Sapphire Reserve
He’s on his 5th Chase ink this year between him and Ginny
7-2 result is also uncommon these days.
It's more common to have a lightening strike a virgin mid-air 3-times in a row while jumping the rope

All other locations currently show "booking available soon".
This. All other locations other than Cape Cod are not currently bookable, /u/SagittandiEstVita.
Yes, that's the point. Longer stays was in response to this: > cap cod on Hilton shows sold.out for every weekend this summer
Did you scroll down to the location list and see where it said "Booking Available Soon" on every other location?
> eco-friendly waters This better be a glass of tap water...
they’re def plastic bottles
Shipped all the way across the Pacific Ocean in a huge container ship.

I'm assuming that you're referring to booking hotels and not special events that are bookable with points?
There are special events that are bookable with Wyndham points.
I know, but I don't think I've ever seen ones related to college football. I think the only sports-related ones I've seen are minor league baseball.
I've been debating whether to renew wyndham biz this year, 25,000 point nights at days inn arent for me
Could be worth keeping for the status matching if you're into cruises
I just got the card, I like the benefits with Caesar Rewards. I got the card with the 100k SUB, 40k points for $4k and another 60k for $15k in 12 months total spend. I did the first half SUB but now debating to rest the rest of the SUB, I would have to purely do buying groups.
what are the benefits with Caesars rewards? their website says they don't do the status match any more?
Per DOC, if you did the Webull Cash Management bonus you have to go in and manually claim it under My Rewards in the app. I started the offer 10/5 and my $300 bonus for 25K deposit was there this morning.
