Do you need to tell Walmart that you are doing, lets say, $500 on the first card or will it automatically deduct after each swipe? I usually do $2000 at Stop and Shop with 4 swipes and it auto deducts so the cashier doesn't seem to ask questions.
Wow, wish there was a Stop and Shop here! Yes, I do need to tell WM how much on each card. But I start off the transaction by saying I want to buy 2 mos for 1k each and split the payments and then they are good with that.
ETA: I also come home and change the PIN on each card to one that I remember so that I'm not fumbling with the little pieces of paper w the PIN from the packaging. No way I'll remember 3 diff PINs for 3 diff vgcs, and the ones from the grocery store seem to all be the one with PINs in the packaging.
At WM, I also tell them the MO amounts and THEN tell them "$500 on this card", cashier presses buttons, "Remainder on this card".
We have a Giant (not Giant Eagle), which has the same S&S logo and accepts S&S giftcards. I believe S&S and Giant are owned by the same parent and interchangeable, which makes me wonder if I should try this with a $500 VGC first, to see if it auto-drains
@MrPTato Does your S&S sell WU MO or MoneyGram? Are you using Metas or Vanilla at S&S?
Amex Premier Rewards Gold Revamped! 4x MR on Groceries and Restaurants, $120 Dining Credit (at Select Food Delivery Services and Restaurants) Per Year.
Today Amex announced new benefits of this card:
As the OP says, the new benefit makes this card a no-brainer for a lot of folks.
- $120 Dining Credit: You get $10 monthly dining credit available at Grubhub, Seamless, The Cheesecake Factory, Ruth's Chris Steak House, Shake Shack. Must enroll first and pay using Premier Rewards Gold card.
- 4x points at US restaurant
- 4x points at US supermarket, up to $25k purchase per calendar year.
- 2x points at US gas station is removed.
The PRG comes with an easily pulled 50k MR/$2k MSR incognito offer, first year AF waived and $195 AF afterwards.
The PRG’s benefits include a calendar year $100 airline fee credit that works the same way as the Platinum and Hilton Aspire. Now, the PRG also includes a $120 dining credit to select restaurants and food delivery services, doled out at $10 increments every month. And the 4x MR at restaurants and grocery stores is better than a lot of other cards.
This card was on the chopping block for me come renewal time next year, but I may end up keeping it for a slice of cheesecake every month. Thank you, Amex!
I actually love this. Amex>Chase.
Yeah! For people not as familiar with the PRG, I forgot to add that the 4x MR at restaurants and groceries categories got bumped up from rather anemic 2x MR bonuses.
I’m fine with Amex getting rid of 2x MR at gas stations, since many other cards offer 2x or better bonuses for gas, and you can pretty easily buy gas gift cards at 5% or better. I mean, you could even use your revamped PRG to buy gas gift cards at a supermarket for 4x MR, earn grocery store fuel points, and use the gift card and points to pay for gas!
WHY why why does something good come along just when I'm ready to settle down??????
@Judique I'm right there with you...mixed emotions +
One one hand, I REALLLLLLLLLLLY want this card and love the new revamped earnings rate(s), but now I need to sort out how this works into my 5/24 and CP plans. As if the Lux (and potentially the elevated Hilton bonuses if I pull the trigger) didn't already put a dent in that...Though, now with the DD dead, I may no longer need to get DH the CSR (yet). He's 3/24 and I was going to get him the Hilton Aspire before the DD later this year (since he just got the CIP this month), but now even if I take him to 5/24, he has a card falling off next May and another in June, so no urgency I guess since I have a CSR and the 50K is unlikely to go anywhere. Only issue is would this affect his ability to pull the 100K plat offer down the road...Thinking aloud

I've been expressing my love for Amex over Chase quite a bit these days, so I echo this
