Have any of you stayed in Chicago? I’m looking for a hotel when we will be there. I want one close to the United center but we decided we will take a lyft no matter what because we won’t feel safe walking at night. I see a Hampton about 1.6 miles away that looks decent for $161/night. Didn’t know if you guys have stayed somewhere you really liked
We stayed here before. It was a good location, but it was our only trip so I have nothing to compare the location to.

It did take a week to 10 days before I got mine. Did you setup a PIN during the application? If you did you should be able to create an online account before the debit card arrives. I setup my account a couple days after opening it because my self made PIN got me in.
no I didn't see that option:sad: I guess I'm ool now until I get the actual card? I just checked and it was 2/6 opened... but I had to send in a signature form first so maybe that's why it's taking a while
 
Ok, since it's been so long or maybe never have I carried a balance on purpose, but with the CIC 0%... I just have to make the minimum payment right?
Ohhh, I need to get this. Does a CIC that was PC'd from CIP count for the 0%?
I am booking a speculative dessert party on DD19s bday for 10 people which is like $600 or something crazy. We will cancel if she isn't working but will go if she is so we can see her on her bday. It isn't until May so I hate to spend my own $600 to cover the ressie for everyone. Doing 0% would work.
 
As far as credit card rewards, what does WDW qualify as? More specifically, if my credit card offers 3% cash back on travel and I charge everything to my room, will that full amount count as travel?

ETA: The cards in question are a CITI card and a Bank of America card.

Did you take screenshot's as you filled out the app? It was on the 2nd page of the app when you filled out all your personal information, maybe you have it but don't remember? (I hope, I hope)

But most banks send the PIN separate from the debit card so maybe the PIN will show up first for you? I'd think you'd be seeing it by Monday though. I remember it seemed to take a while but it was definitely less than 2 weeks but more than 1 week.
 
Excuse my naivete, but does the CF 5% also work for prescription drugs purchased at CVS this qtr?

It has for me at Walgreens, so I'm guessing yes to CVS.

ETA: when CF was 5% back at Walgreens (specifically only WG one quarter last year) I bought a Walgreen's gc after calculating the cost of DD's rx co-pays so it was like getting 5% for the rest of the year. You could also do that if you have recurring monthly co-pays:)
 
I just joined Pei and it has mylocal Trader Joe’s. That’s awesome. I can spend some money there. And target and cvs? This is clearly too good to be true and won’t last long.
I’ve been a member of Pei for 4-6 months & it has only expanded during that time :) Hopefully they have a sustainable business model figured out.

Weirdly, it codes as 3x on my CSR but only 1x on my CIP. You’d think it would code 3x for both, especially since they’re both Chase cards, but no.
 
If I brought my DH a car as a surprise he'd die of a heart attack(and not in a good way lol)
Yeah my Dh wouldn’t be super happy about me buying a car without him. I’m sure he’d be surprised at first but I’m not sure it would stay that way
 
Referral is now available for the Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant (same 100k offer). Still no sign of the biz card though.

And oddly, it only appears in the referral links I generated in my account and not the ones I generated from the Refer a Friend website.

Ugh, they took away the RAF on the biz card again. My current link that I just used earlier this week errors out and the RAF option is gone. Guess I'll have to setup the new card if I want a shot at any Bonvoy points... bleh, after saying that word I'm on the fence about that now, it might mean I'll have to say or look at it again in the future...
