called auto line just now...approved for CIP!now how do I call in to ask for expedited card?
. Was gone all weekend again but I think I'm pretty caught up. It's a gorgeous day here in New York but feels like October, not June! I wanted to share something I read this morning for some of you newbies who may not know this but also for you vets who aren't as good at keeping spreadsheets as He and He 2 who shall not be named because it's not necessary. ;-) . I knew about Credit Karma and being able to track your 5/24 status but what I did NOT know is that there is an old interface that makes it way way easier to do that. So... if you're a tiny (just a tiny) bit scattered in your tracking of the great 5/24 status of your life, this is a great thing to know. I still like Lucky's blog - I know some may not agree - but I've learned a lot from him. Here's the link that tells you exactly how to do it. Make sure you click on the link for the old interface and click on "Open Date" twice to get the correct sort order. Have a happy week, all! How To Check Your 5/24 Status

I didn’t think fushimi inari would be downtown Kyoto but this whole area has been crazy. Tomorrow we’re going to kinkaku-ji and Arashiyama so hopefully those aren’t as touristy

We're going to the Borgata to use some freebies this month but I'm pretty sure we weren't planning on spending $300 OOP. I added it but will have to think on if I can make that work to an advantage.
As many others have said, see what hotels are available where he wants to go. Often there are several options for Marriott and only one for Hyatt. That being said, a Hyatt Place could be as low as 8K points when the Marriott options are 15-35K.
We are doing this type of thing. Just wanted to add - I have no problem using DH's CIP (no need for a separate AU card for me). If he has a need to use it he comes to me and I give him the card! Otherwise I use it online, in stores (most places have a chip reader and you don't need to sign), add it to our cell phone and internet bills for autopay, etc. I have them set up to pay the full balance automatically on the due date also. (But I handle all the finances and there is no way a credit card would not be paid in full every month under my watch)One more question.
Even though having/using an additional card isn't really a great idea for my husband (he doesn't pay in full every month), what if he could get approved for it and then just add me as an AU. Could I then spend on "his" account and he would still get UR for the money I spend? So I could use my shiny new CIP for 3 months (or however long it takes me to hit $5000) and then use HIS for the next 3 months/$5000 and then somewhere in there I could apply for a CIP2 for myself for the next 3 months/$5000.... all this without HIM spending on it? What do you think?
but I know me and I'll upgrade before we fly.
The only time it could have come up is when buying gift cards like the Visa/MC/AmEx ones. Some stores ask to verify ID against the CC you're using so they actually check the name on it. Hasn't been a problem for me yet because for those deals I'm usually using my cards (because, as hubby says, I have all the good ones ) but that's the one time anyone has looked at my cards in a long time. Especially with chip readers now, no one looks.
