Recap: Brex Cuts, Resy Credit & More

 

  • C1 Offers recently updated their terms so that payment with a C1 card is no longer required.  Great, I thought, and made a purchase on GC.com using a new CIU.  When that purchase did not track, I called C1 and was met with a nasty surprise — C1 Offers has a secret policy, which appears nowhere in the terms, not to investigate missing cashback if you paid with a non-C1 card, even though they admit that this is now permitted.  They will only help if you paid with a C1 card.  An offer to submit a proof of purchase was rebuffed.
  • Hilton FNC seems to have a strict 2 week extension policy now. If American Express is the one enforcing this I’m assuming they don’t pay for any unused certificates.

  • Even in Manhattan, there are few *attractive* restaurants on the Resy platform. Easy for Amex to add as a credit if few people will use it.

  • Im still confused. How exactly do you use the Resy Credit. Do you book in app, eat at the restaurant, pay through resy? I still dont understand the gift card thing as well.

    • I tried it at a restaurant on the Resy platform a few days after it was announced and spent $19, two days later $10 was credited back. I did not make a reservation or pay through Resy.

    • The Amex terms say just use the card at a Resy restaurant (I assume any one that you can find and reserve on Resy). For example I’m going to dinner at a place tonight I made a reservation with through Resy. I’ll pay using my delta plat and in a couple weeks I’ll expect the $10 credit.

  • Re: Brex -- Couldn't happen to nicer people. I'm still p.o.'ed about their forced closure of my SMB account. If I were a better person, I guess I should also say "thanks for all the fish."

  • Capital One offers was crappy before, now it's even crappier. Their merger with Discover will increase the poo factor by 10.
