Yes! Netflix earns 3x UR on CIP.
Thanks - good to know! Another odd one - we've been getting 5x for Spotify on the Ink + (just recently converted to the Ink Cash).

Does Netflix code as 3 times on the CIP? Just have it as SPG personal as didn’t think about it.
One of the reasons it's important to pull your actual credit report if you're really trying to figure that out because the Credit Karma app does not show cards you've closed.
I am going over to the /reddit/dischurners to read up more on MPX. I did download the app. I don't have a United credit card as I want to get CSR/CSP next and then SW for CP. But I think I can use this even with out the United CC. For some reason, I do not totally follow how to work this to maximize points.
I'm going to need to start looking at Plastique. I am not as computer savvy as many here and I will admit I have felt intimidated by the process. Time to reread Lain's guide again and step out of my comfort zone
3. I don't MPX but the last few pages here cover some possible changes to MPX so keep an eye on that over the next couple weeks.
every two weeks I buy a gift card for $200 for Petco with the app.
I'll use an example of how it is helpful for our house.-every two weeks I buy a gift card for $200 for Petco with the app. Then, I go to a shopping portal (I look up which ones have highest rates and/or are offering special deals). Earlier this month it was American Airlines 3 pts/$ spend plus a Valentine's Day promotion-spend $200 on their portal and earn an extra 500 miles. (I discovered it's $200 before taxes, etc. Fortunately I caught that before the expiration of the promotion and made the spend of another $14 easily).
So for dog food 1000 United miles; 552 American Airlines miles (plus the promotion, kind of, so another 500 American Airlines miles).
Now, I used a credit card NOT related to United so 1x (or in the old days 5x but we'll see how that shakes out) of MR which can be used for Delta or other airlines so 200 min of those.
So MilesPlusApp-->gift card-->use gc in shopping portal plus any extra miles/UR/MR/etc earned by the default cc you put on the miles plus app (mine right now is the amex platinum). As you are aware, if you have a Chase United associated (but doesn't have to be the default) you earn 25% more off the app (so if I had it I would earn 6250 United miles with dog food purchase v. 5,000). I hope this dissertation is helpful
You spend $400 mo on dog food?? And I thought our turtle was expensive!
Okay. So I have skimmed over the stuff about MPX because I sadly only really care about Delta Skymiles (United/American etc useless). Are you saying I should still look into using it for that? And/or for extra UR’s?
Honestly it's probably close to $100-150 if I really think about it BUT then I add in Greenies and they are super expensive! I have 4 dogs and they do best with grain free food so...yes, I spend a lot more than most I guess.
I have a 19lb doxie so one 30lb bag of blue lasts us 3 to 4 months.

I get his food off Amazon since it's cheaper but I miss out on the portal but use gc.
In my preparation for getting ready for my Disney trip in May, I am looking toward getting the Disney Visa card for the discounts. However, I discover the Disney debit card which seems like it has the same benefit with the exception of earning cashback. I seen some who posted here that their Visa card is mainly a dust collector for it does not accumulate that much cashback. So is there a reason that I should consider the Disney Visa vs. Disney debit?

The possible change to MPX concerns only how MPX transactions code on certain Amex cards that may or may no longer trigger a certain bonus category. If @StephPlum is considering using only Chase Visa cards with MPX, there’s no change.
So MilesPlusApp-->gift card-->use gc in shopping portal plus any extra miles/UR/MR/etc earned by the default cc you put on the miles plus app (mine right now is the amex platinum). As you are aware, if you have a Chase United associated (but doesn't have to be the default) you earn 25% more off the app (so if I had it I would earn 6250 United miles with dog food purchase v. 5,000).

Says the guy who wants Delta points for a Target cardThis is a great point. Earning points you can't use isn't a great strategy.
