maybe apply for a Chase credit card (slate I think) with free BTransfer. You can xfer to checking and pay it out w/o interest. I think up to 18 or 24 months.

RE: Toys R Us considering closure of at least 100 stores
haven’t been in a TOYSRUS is about 30 years when my kids were little. Even back then they never had the hot items (sold out) and their stores were like a maze to shop. had to go in different directions to get somewhere.

RE: No More PLENTI POINTS at Rite Aid in 2018
well still no info on how long we can use the PP? I have about 400.00 worth. Most of the RA stuff is overpriced anyway, but we should be thankful for the “free items” we accumulated over the past 2 years. Hopefully Amex will let us redeem for a while, or at least xfer to the new program and then have 60 days. As I said previously, this program has cost Amex and RA tons of $ that they can’t recoup, thus the reason it’s closing. Same thing is happening with MSers on Amex Old Blue cash cards. They are actually checking for GC purchases and denying points. Currently they are not paying bonuses if you have a new card and spend X amt for bonus via ms. Haven’t touched the regular Msers yet. All these “deals” are going to hell!!

RE: No More PLENTI POINTS at Rite Aid in 2018
BTW, is it possible to use PP wyb a gift card from Kohls/Home Depot etc? I know you can’t use PP for RA gift cards but do PP work with these gift cards?

RE: No More PLENTI POINTS at Rite Aid in 2018
from my vantage point as a MSer for about 4 years, all the good deals die when these big corp. realize they are getting gamed by a few players. I feel Amex killed this because they are subsidizing the PP program. They have done this with their 5 % no fee Old Blue cash card (after a few years). There are folks that have 4 or 5 of these cards. They put a 55600 yearly cap, but they are still cracking down. Now they have a crew checking all the purchases on these cards looking for MSers. They are starting to NOT pay out the 5%, I hear from a few sources. These cards are money losers for them, but it takes them a year or to two to figure it out. They never had Amex employees checking purchases but now they are. Even tho the T&C stated gift cards are not eligible fort 5 % back, they are enforcing it now. In retrospect, our members are “abusing” the PP system and they are stopping it.

RE: No More PLENTI POINTS at Rite Aid in 2018
so how do they apply it? Does it go on your Plenti card? Can’t see the fine print. But we can still use our PP for stuff at RA I suppose.

$5.00 Dunkin Donuts AMEX OFFER ON MOBILE APP
I downloaded the mobile app and got a great offer using this particular Amex card. “spend $5.00 at Dunkin Donuts (in one order) and get $5.00 back.” I have a bunch of amex cards, but this offer was only on one. YMMV but worth a shot.
