I love credit cards so much! v2.0 (see first page for add'l details)

At least for this first year, we’ll want to be able to go during blackout dates so we’ll probably end up buying the highest passes for both. Those are good tips for us after this first year though! Are there any good deals for universal or Disney for the highest level of passes?

When I was looking at Universal last year I ended up comparing AAA with Tickets at Work. I recommend checking to see if your DH has access to a discount program through his job. AAA and Tickets at Work ended up being within like 30 cents of each other. I'm pretty sure they had all levels of passes, I just wanted the cheapest haha.

About to cancel P1 CIP 1. Can someone remind me if I should be able to do this through SM? Also, might they bring up the fact that I have more than one CIP open? This is my first time closing one and I want to be prepared.

I cancelled my DH's CIP through SM a couple of months ago. I don't think they'll bring up the fact that you have more than one, but can't say for sure.

I closed a SW card via SM a few months ago so hopefully should work with CIP.

@georgina and @Chancery8 it looks like the lounge expansion is complete!

Does AAA get you in airport lounges?? Additionally, The Club lounge welcomes members of Priority Pass, LoungeKey, Lounge Club, Diners Club International, and AAA Members Discount Program.

Wow that was a long day but we had a lot of fun and got a lot done. I posted a very long report on my thread but we went to disneysea today and I feel like we did almost the entire park in one day. There were a couple things we didn’t get done but we left two hours before the park closed. I, of course, bought myself a Gelatoni and couldn’t pass up the cute Duffy hat.

Are you doing the application at work? Or somewhere there could be a security firewall installed? I am so not a computer person but it seems like I have had that pop up on occasion. I would try doing it on a different computer. You could also call the line and see if anything has gone through. Good luck!

Application worked on incognito and he has approval this morning. Now to message and see if it arrives by Thursday! Thanks for all the advice - yes, I do think it was the firewall although does incognito negate the firewall?

Try this. It’s the 70K Arrival+ application link. I saved it from r/churning this weekend when it disappeared from their site. Please read all terms and double check it’s still valid, I haven’t had a chance to do more than glance at it.

trying to decide what my next card should be. I'm 3/24 with a goal of a WDW vacation in 2020. The Barclay Arrival Plus was one of the cards I was considering. I'm about 50 pages behind on the thread. While trying to catch up I sometimes jump to the last page to see if there's anything major going on (and I check Reddit). As soon as I saw the news about the offer going away I decided to jum

Thanks for the links, I did the app last night. Goth the same message as @KPK02090 ... so we'll wait and see.

 

[kayteekt]

I just upgraded my boys' hoppers to APs last month on my Arrival+ and it says I have no eligible charges to redeem my points against...so I think it doesn't work.

Oooohhhh, that stinks You're saying the charge from Disney couldn't be "erased" right? I think @wendow was able to use the credit for an Undercovertourist charge...which I am not opposed to doing. Exactly, why I asked here, I didn't want to find out the hard way. So thanks to you both!!

They also advertise timeshares...I wonder if anyone has used on their DVC Dues...

Anyway, may all be a moot point. App went pending, so we'll see.

I had not heard of that but I searched and it looks like The Club lounges offer a discount for AAA members through that Discount and Rewards program. So it's not free but it gets you discounted access. Interesting tidbit for folks that pay for lounges.

If anyone is looking for Busch Gardens Williamsburg tickets, Groupon has a deal for $53 you get three days in a seven day period. Can be used at Water Country too. I highly recommend Water Country for anyone who likes Water Parks. Both parks are so well maintained.

DD19 has been approved for CIP2

Interesting DP- She was 1/30 with chase. I knew when I got her the first CIP and that it had been over 4 mos. BUT I forgot she got a SW card less than 30 days ago. Didn’t even look at her spreadsheet before app’ing. SO, is there still a 0/30 chase rule for biz apps...?

It’s YMMV. Apparently it’s also possible to get more than 2 personal cards in 30 days too.

Some few interesting notes posted from my other group.
AA gift card redemptions via Amex Plat credit may be working again. Source

Oh I truly hope so! I’ve been frantically trying to figure out how to justify my current Amex cards with an airline credit.

I’m a Scorpio and this link almost describes me exactly: https://www.horoscope.com/zodiac-signs/scorpio/career-money

Apparently I should be a spy

Ok so I went to see what mine said and there were a few things that were right on point.

@Haley R -I just went down a 10 min rabbit hole reading about my sign and DD's. Some of it is creepily accurate. house!

Me too!

College Professor: Virgo loves learning and may be drawn to PhD programs. An inspiring teacher, this sign loves a schedule where they can simultaneously teach and conduct their own research.

Museum Curator: Creative Virgo loves museums, which often sit at the intersection of art and learning. Inviting the public into a museum and figuring out the best way to curate its collection is the best kind of puzzle for Virgo.

This post brought to you during a break in my museum work, after which I will go home & continue researching PhD programs That’s a little too real.

Capricorn Career Mantra: “I can achieve anything I set my mind to?”

Capricorn greatest career strength determination. A Capricorn will push themselves beyond their limits to get a job done on time. A Capricorn will not take “no” for an answer, either from themselves or from an underling, and knows that there is always a way to do the impossible.

I think it will surprise nobody here that I am a Slytherin and proud of it!

After reading that I thought to myself, that must mean I’m a Gryffindor. I took the quiz. No surprise #teamGryffindor

Scorpio's Career Mantra: "Perfection is power."

Scorpio's greatest career strength: Intensity. Scorpio is much happier leading the pack or providing an authentic opinion than being a team player. When Scorpio goes in, they go all in.

This is literally me to a point. I am a huge perfectionist and I would much rather work alone if I know it’ll be to my standards. I don’t mind working with others if they’re actually gonna try. I’m very dedicated once I start something and I never procrastinate work or projects.

Congratulations! Her child care business must be booming!



0/30 is not a hard rule like 5/24; it’s more of a guideline that’s often enforced.

 

[Lain]

Or I’ve even seen 2 biz cards in 30 days.
