Offer was just increased (for a limited time). The Universal Rewards Plus card ($99 annual fee) is offering a $300 statement credit after spending $1,000 in 3 months. The Universal Rewards card (no annual fee) is offering $150 statement credit after spending $1,000 in 3 months.
This card isn’t that great, citi custom cash is better for theme park purchases, giving 5% up to $500/mo.
Card quietly launched. 4/2/1 rewards on the $99 Plus card which also comes with a 1 day ticket in either Orlando or Hollywood after spending $6K and renewing the card, or 2/1 on the base card. Rewards can only be redeemed onto prepaid Visa cards usable only at Universal or at hotels/airlines. What a mess
FNBO kind of sucks if you need to do dispute or chargeback… you need to call and write letters etc., no good for the one-click chargeback generation a.k.a. Gen Z people.
The Universal lounges I have been in are basically some backstage area with minimal windows, limited seating, and fantastic AC where you can buy a drink.
Not to be confused with an airport lounge where you sit and relax with gratis food, drink, phone charge, and watch planes scuttle around – which is a much better experience.
AMEX used to have a lounge at Universal but it closed a couple of years ago. Looks like FNBO might be taking it over.
SUB will be worth ~$200 in food in drinks or about one day worth of food at universal
One pizza SLICE is $20. A SLICE!
Wonder if it will be useless like the Disney card, Royal Caribbean card or actually have some value.
I’m honestly shocked Disney hasn’t issued a more expensive AF card
Honestly, a Disney card that was actually able to redeem points for stays on Disney properties would attract a huge market.
Yeah but aren’t these just valued at 1cpp? I could just use a 2% card and use the cash back to pay cash for that same thing. My point was Disney needs to make it more worth our while. Let us earn a currency that can get higher cpp valuations when redeeming towards their resorts. Or have some sort of non-cash option at 1.25 cpp for tickets, gift cards, etc
We like the Chase Disney card. Have had it and used it a bunch over the years we have had it. Which might actually be almost 20 years now
Anybody have a list of FNBO cards like Amtrak, Best Western etc.
Looks like DoC has a partial list.

Munching on popcorn in my FICO garden while watching all the normies enjoying their Harry Potter VIP lounges & eating Costco rotisserie chicken. What a time to be alive.
