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

Have fun! We won’t leave until Monday. I used to get super anxious traveling anywhere new because I would get so excited. I used to take pills for it that would make me loopy but I stopped taking them to see if I could deal with it myself. It’s gotten much better but we really only travel to wdw lol. We did go to a couple new places last year and I was fine. It used to be really bad on car trips. Let’s just say we stopped about every 10 minutes at a gas station.

I’m reluctantly going to pack jeans and sweatpants but I really hope I can tough it out and wear shorts. I would think 45 would be fine for me in shorts but maybe not.

I had some cold weather the first/second week of December! I had a sweatshirt, jacket, pants, and gloves on for MVMCP.

I didn't realize it, but everyone kept saying that the humidity actually made the cold feel even colder because of the moisture.

What sort of regime do you work under that blocks DOC?! That's hardcore!

The Trump administration.

While his administration is technically my employer, our cybersecurity/Internet blocking has been in place significantly longer than his regime has been in place.

Very likely! Chase ships expedited cards via UPS Express Envelopes.

0.60 LBS... must be it!

IDK what else I've ordered that could be that light. I can't wait to get it and pay some telecom bills!! (Never thought I would ever say that!! )

Just found out the fee for paying my power bill is only $1.95 for paying online with a cc. I thought it would be higher...

If there are any Plated meal kit subscribers out there, there is a new Amex offer for $15 off $50. Happily I had it on 4 cards (my Plat, each of my kid's AU Plats and DH's Biz Green).

The beatings will continue until morale improves!!!!

This made me smile. This sign was posted on the outside of an office door at Stanford Law School that I used to pass every day on my way into the school from the parking lot I used. For some reason, it just tickled me, and I have remembered it ever since.

Wait, who approved you for a profile pic change?

Have any of you applied for the US Bank Business Edge Cash rewards card....looks like you get $200 cash bank on a $1,000 spend...and can get the same for an employee if you add then when you apply.
Wondering how hard/easy this card is to get...and if it shows up your personal credit.....article says no...but confirmation is always good to hear from thoses who have applied

There was some discussion about this card awhile back and a few of us were interested but not sure any DP's ever showed up (here anyways) so I forgot all about it. I feel like someone applied though but I can't remember who?? @magickingdomprincess ?? was it you?

Thanks...I remember it being mentioned a while back but couldn’t take on more MSR then....trying to plan ahead since our next Chase applications will be for the CF so a small MSR

Not caught up yet but yes, that was me! I got the card in the fall, added one employee, met the spends and got the $200 bonuses. No, it didn't count against 5/24. One mistake I made was not redeeming the $400 soon enough so ended up paying the full balance and having to spend $400 more to get the credit. Hope that helps!

Sell my electric bill account? Not sure exactly what that means. That name, Arcadiapower, sounds familiar. Did they have an offer on Swagbucks once?

new incoming hyatt app changes from a facebook group...

 

[Haley R]

I shred mine once they are used

We just throw ours in the trash. Is that wrong to do? If they’re used up no one can use them right?

Thanks for the DP! That's awesome to read!

And as a side, I'm so impressed with my memory right now lol! That is so @Lain - like of me

the week before Christmas we had similar temperatures....I lived in leggings since they weren’t has heavy as jeans

I don’t own a pair of leggings lol. Not my style at all. I’ll probably wear sweatpants though

im not sure... in a way, they take over your account at your electric company(the sell part). then they charge u. i believe they are able to get a better rate or something because my bill is a lot less than it used to be. You can use a visa/mastercard to pay your bill with no fee.

Current plan is Vienna and Budapest, but it isn't final yet. Looking like a mishmosh of *Alliance - including maybe Polish airlines? I think I saw an option that involved Aer Lingus? I'm trying to piece together a route that makes sense and works with our dates - target is the kids spring break in April next year. Really hoping for only 1 connection, and there is a Polish airlines flight to Budapest from Chicago that is looking like maybe the best option for the long haul section over there. Not expecting Emirates level service, but it is lie-flat, and that is really all I'm going for.

That sounds like so much fun, I'll be in both of those cities this summer with DD and DM. I'll be flying Austrian Air from Krakow to Vienna to Chicago- it was either that or LOT Polish and I decided Austrian sounded a wee bit better. I get so far in the weeds when I read trip reports (and check out seatguru) I have to remind myself that any business seat is better than economy, especially long haul!

I didn't realize it, but everyone kept saying that the humidity actually made the cold feel even colder because of the moisture.

I believe that. The humidity seems to make the heat hotter and cold colder. Of course the wind off the bay here doesn't help, either. Even my brother who lives in Ohio will agree that my 60 is much cooler than "his" 60. Of course he doesn't bundle up in cashmere and Uggs as I do.

I’ve actually read that in a couple of places about the moisture. I’ve never experienced it so I better just come prepared

This is my DH, he grew up in a dry climate. I last a lot longer than him before I get cold haha.

On a whim decided to go for the BBP. Didn't get the popup, but got this instead. I don't think I like this, thinking I will just let it get denied rather than calling, since I have a "business" and already have 5 Biz cards with them.
