So pretty much everywhere nowadays?

My dad told me not to get one because of this issue. I have been denied once in the past year at a small mexican grocery store. It is pretty much my primary card for purchases too.


Also, their cash back redemption for gift cards is pretty clutch. I get 10-20% off gift cards for places I shop at pretty regularly

I just need Sam's to take my visa/mastercard credit cards. I'd rack up so many points for work there.

The one here in Houma doesn't for some reason. Probably something to do with fees.

That says they do

They don't accept Visa

I go buy a gift card at Walmart with my Visa then make my Sam's purchase with that gift card.

Delta offered $1k to bump from LAX to MSY landing at 1100pm to getting back tomorrow morning and it's probably the only day I couldnt take it. Would have had a free place to crash too.

Noooooo

Yes I just landed at MSY and not over it yet

$1k/person on a domestic flight...even with an overnight, is incredible.

Most I've snagged is $1k in a day (twice) but it was two separate bumps

I know man. They said $800 then immediately jumped to 1k for 3 people to hop off. I was with my fiancée but that wasn't the issue, just having to be back here by Monday to handle work stuff, when 99% of the year I would have been able to take it. Fiancée wouldn't have been able to but 1k was good enough.

I can't sleep

The reaction to the offer was humorous, the sound a crowd makes when it sees an accident. Total shock

I think I would have called my boss and told him I can't pass this offer up

That is pretty sick, most I have seen offered was ~$350.

I see $600-$700 all the time - never for my flights :(

$800 and up is unheard of
