Did Greg mention if they claw back the $200 Delta stays credit of the hotel is cancelled?

Greg The Frequent Miler

I have not had any clawbacks, but I can’t promise that won’t change

Re ride share – p2 and I also have a ton of discounted Uber credit and more rewarding cards for ride share spend. Sometimes if it’s a more expensive ride I’ll split with P2 even if he isn’t with me (both Lyft and Uber offer this) so we can use half the ride to get the $10 credit and half the ride using Uber credit or a more rewarding card.

For the hotel credit rebate, do you worry about an amex claw back if you cancel your refundable booking?

O C

I have gotten it clawed back with a cancelled booking.

Greg The Frequent Miler

I haven’t had it clawed back but it could happen

This has been a fun series recently learning about the ways you guys use the rebates for different cards, especially since you guys are truthful on whether or not you actually use something, how easy it is to use, and whether or not it’s even worth it. Looking forward to hearing about more card rebate schemes!
