Chase Sapphire Preferred
Amex Gold used to have that feature too, but they discontinued it maybe 5 years ago.
I think Discover has it too?

I would just check your card benefits, a lot of cards have very useful benefits but are neglected by cardholders. This one in particular allows you to buy now and worry about price drops later.

@echau thanks, I'll have to look over the benefits of my current card.

Did you size down?

 

[srizvi722]

I didn’t size down. I got a medium. It’s a little awk like @djkillahcam said a while back. But I kept both.

My Chase Sapphire Reserve also has this feature obviously, being an extension of the CSP, but so does my Discover card. It was my first credit card when I had no credit back in the day and they have pretty awesome customer service. Chase and discover are nice because they both give you 90 days, whereas others (Citi,Mastercard) are generally 60 days.

Citi is nice because they have a website that tracks stuff and refunds you automatically, which can be nice for basic stuff through amazon or whatever. But you can also submit independent claims for more niche cases, like John Elliott. Mastercard is my least favorite because they only allow 4 claims per year, whereas my other cards allow $2500 per year, which is plenty when multiplied by 3-4 cards.

FWIW, I got my Onyx that I bought at retail discounted to $280 due to a promo code through another retailer even though the other retailers usually call Onyx "Washed Jet Black" or whatever. YMMV, but you can get an unreal amount of free money just by taking 10 minutes to upload 2 screenshots.

@fdyla preach!

Wow so this feature isn't exclusive to the same retailer? Good to know I need to take advantage of that with my CSP.

Does the price matching have to be from the same store/site or will the match a lower price from a different store/site?

What's the general consensus on the leather rider jacket? I tried a medium on at Saks and it fit me absolutely perfectly. Any other considerations at this price point or should I hold out for a sale somewhere? I'm guessing they probably don't mark them down much though. This is my first real leather jacket and want to make sure I make a decently informed decision.

That looks spot on.

CSP matched from another site when I did it.

Where was Onyx on sale for $280? I literally bought them yesterday for $400. On my debit, without protection, fml. Although, I can still return them.

Yeah I wanna know too lol. That's a good price.

Does anyone have a sizing chart for the SRD jacket? Are there archives for the size charts?
