I know you talk to your car keys when you can't find them !
I talk to my remote when I cant find it.
It likes to hide in weirdest places.
That's what I get for having World Infinite Elite Platinum Gold Plated Staus Symbol Remote.
Yes but when was the last time you got a CL increase

Your tv is just still getting to know you.

- Private Jet Program — When first class just doesn’t cut it, this program offers discounts from private jet charter operators Skyjet and Vitesse Worldwide.

- Onefinestay — Save 10% on rental homes worldwide.

The catch is, the lender has to offer these perks, otherwise it's just a MasterCard that pays them more in fees.

So, in other words, it's like the Visa Signature: a menu of perks that most banks choose not to offer their customers.
Bingo
I just recalled that when Savor had the Postmates Unlimited perk in addition to the $5 off and 4% cash back, I never actually tried any other cards to see if they were eligible for the $5 off. I only had investigated which of my cards were eligible for the cell phone protection.
I just put my Arrival info into my Postmates account and it also generated $5 off a hypothetical order. So in going from 7 issuers down to 6, I actually kept that little perk I thought I'd be losing.
