They removed the 3x grocery category starting January 1st this year; during this time-limited promotion you’ll earn 5x. Points are worth 1.2 cents when redeemed for travel.

  • Amex should have done something like this and placed a cap. That would have been better than having to review accounts manually to make sure they qualify for those limited time category bonuses.

  • beware of large purchase auto-rejections, at the point of purchase. call before to set up your card for large purchases

  • The travel concierge reached out to let me know she could book travel for me. I have cancelled the card, and she refused to help getting refunds from an airline eariler. (Same lady) Oh, and she sent me some beyond worthless discount coupons. I felt it like retaliating with some Buca di Beppo gift cards or something.

  • Anyone know if CNB is extending benefits or doing any adjustments for the pandemic?

  • It's a rather late announcement for a limited-duration promo (40% already passed). If I didn't see this on DoC it might take even longer for the email to land in my inbox...

  • I received an email about this earlier today. City is a little late to the party, but I’ll happily take the bonus points. With that said, I’m still cancelling the card upon the next renewal.

    • The link he put in "Our Verdict" actually does cover this from back in November 2019.

  • Is this targeted? I haven't seen an e-mail on this but would definitely buy some GC real quick to top off my account.
