Starting on 11/8, American Express cards that come with monthly Uber Credits will require putting the Uber ride/meal on an AmEx card in order to use the credit.
AmEx continues to do everything to make its cards’ benefits more annoying to use in the hopes that you won’t use them
Me: I really should take the Metro more.
Also me after encountering one of the country’s longest escalators in a DC Metro station: NEVER AGAIN 😳

Your periodic reminder that you should always transfer your credit card points out to an airline before booking
The exact same flight from DUB -> JFK business class:
60K points on Aer Lingus

Save 80%+ by adding a small extra step, wild
American Express: We’re going to raise the Gold Cards annual fee, BUT we’ll give you a Resy credit and some $7 in Dunkin’ Donuts credit every month.
Some Cardholders: But I don’t live in a city?
American Express: Suck it.

PSA to media out there covering Delta's ongoing meltdown:
These disruptions are not due to Friday's CrowdStrike outage. Not anymore.
This is now a Delta problem, and a Delta problem alone. They need to own it.
“Premium Airline”
Another day, another meltdown brewing for @Delta.
~20% of flights are already canceled today, and hundreds are delayed. And it’s only 9am ET.
Not sure when this ends, but it’s clear that this is now a Delta issue — the other U.S. airlines have basically recovered from Friday.
New DoorDash Promo Code! 🍕
Use code GET50BACK for 50% off orders over $12, up to $10.
(As always, your mileage may vary depending on location, timing, and account.)
A new bonus is now available on Marriott cobranded credit cards from both Amex and Chase through August 1, 2024.
My take: The spend bonus really isn’t worth it for 98% of people, BUT you get 200 points JUST FOR SIGNING UP! It takes 2 seconds.
