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

Looking for next bank bonus recommendations:
Completed:
Discover- DH and me

In progress:
Wells Fargo- DH and me
Chase- me

Can’t Get Work:
PNC- DH and me

Chase is the only one I have a bit of funds tied up in as I wait on that $10k savings deposit that earned a whopping $.08 last month.

Any suggestions?

Which Wells acct did you get? There is a $1k bonus after $25k deposit on a business account at Wells. The funds have to sit there for 6 months though - maybe 7 if you account for the time waiting for the bonus to post.

This is one of the things I really like about Universal. They have no passes of expanding the EP to other hotels besides the 3 established deluxe hotels.

I think this just makes things more crowded and worse for onsite guests.

Yes but anyone could buy EP. Plus some AP holders have EP.

20,000 HH points for dh’s refferal on the no fee Hilton card for me posted.I also completed the $1,000 MSR by prepaying phone and cable. Hoping Amex doesn’t give me issues on the bonus.
I also maxed out my 5 percent cash back on discover it buying Trader Joe’s gift cards.

Decided to use the 120,000 AA points I got from Barclays biz aviator and citi biz aa to fly Phl to Rome roundtrip for me and dh. I have $750 aa gift cards that I got from Amex cards before AA gift card reimbursement died that I plan to use for one of the kids tickets.

Hello from WDW! We flew down using JetBlue points on Thursday. We almost missed our flight due to incompetent TSA at Newark. The art and lounge priority pass lounge was decent! They had pretty good food and lots of space. We hung out there for about 3 hours before our flight. The flight to Orlando was uneventful.

Checked into the Grand Floridian and our room was ready at 8:30am. We are in Sago Cay with views of the monorail from our room.

Weather is great! No rain, low 80s during the day, 60s at night. We did Epcot and Magic Kingdom yesterday. We rope dropped Soarin with only a 15 minute wait. Then we did World Showcase and really enjoyed the O Canada show. We tried the beef brisket poutine which was yummy. Lunch at Via Napoli was of course excellent as always. Enjoyed talking to the cast members about our upcoming trip to Italy. Our “water girl” was from Rome! Our waitress and host were from Sicily and Sardinia. After dinner we had ice cream in France then hopped to MK where we had fastpasses for Haunted Mansion, Mine train and Space Mountain. Ice cream at the Plaza rounded out a perfect first day!

Headed to Disney Springs this morning with Animal Kingdom tonight. Lunch at Chef Arts at noon. Dinner at Yak and Yeti tonight with an evening Safari, Dinosaur and Flight of Passage fastpasses ahead. Excited to finally see Pandora at night and Rivers of Light!

I feel like I vaguely remember asking for a match back when I got the card with the one-time purchase offer. The rep wouldn’t do it, but she was almost downright rude on the phone just trying to find out for me if I’d been approved or not. Others may have better success.

Barclays reps are the worst when it comes to rude.

 

[havaneselover]

Thanks!! Personal just approved too . . . phew. I have to admit, its a bit unnerving to use a link with no landing page. But it sounds like its working for everyone, so I took a leap of faith.

Happy Saturday everyone!

Which SW personal card did you get? I'm lost. I'm a SW newbie. Should finish SW biz spending next week.

Those of you trying to get Citi to match the 60k offer, are you sending them a screen shot or link to a public 60k offer??

Barclays?

I don’t take a lot of naps but I have a bad habit of staying up late each night until it catches up to me. Then I pass out at like 5-7 pm and wake up later that night only to stay up again lol. The other night Dh and I both passed out at 7:40, I woke up at 10:40, and stayed up until 3:45 am

I'm a night owl. What gets me is when i have to work at 3am, especially a few days in a row. I sleep maybe 3 hrs, work 12, come home and tend to stay up to 10ish... sleep a couple hours, work 12... then it catches up to me and I'll come home and fall asleep... wake for dinner then back to bed until the next morning!

Okay y'all, I'm at a loss. DH went 2/24 yesterday, March 1 and had a CIP invitation mailer. He applied and I checked today...7-10 day message. Boo! I'm trying to think of why and can't come up with any good reason except maybe his CSR limit is too high at 35,000. Thoughts?

He's going to wonder why AND won't call recon.

I don’t think others have been including a screenshot.

I got the Priority ($149 fee). You get an annual $75 credit, which I'll use for taxes on an international flight for 4 of us. That brings the fee down to $74 essentially. The cheaper card is $69. I figure the extra $5 fee is worth it for the 4 upgraded boarding passes and the extra annual points (7,500 vs 3,000).

Be sure to use the links @SouthFayetteFan posted to get the 50k vs the usual 40k public offer.

Barclays?

We are trying to get citi to match the 60k offer too (from dummy booking with higher msr).

Just so you are aware: These were shared on r/churning and when you click you won’t see the 50k listed. Many people here have had success using these with NO reported issues.

My 60k SW Biz miles are showing on Chase, should have my CP tomorrow or Monday!!

Yay! dhS statement closes tomorrow so I'm hoping for tuesday....

I seriously can not remember the last time I took a nap. Maybe when I was sick. If I try, I usually just lay there awake, pondering. I’m just not a nap person, it usually backfires and just keeps me up later at night.

Do you sleep good at night normally? I have insomnia and don’t sleep much at night so about 1-2 a week, I finally get so tired, that I crash for 30 mins or so. Oddly enough, on the nights where I napped earlier in the day, I can actually sleep easier that night lol. I’m really messed up!

It could just be verification...they may want some documents faxed it.
What % of income is the CSR limit...if you want to reduce it you could SM chase

That’s baffling. Could be the CL from the csr. I’d definitely reduce that. Does he have any other chase biz cards? Maybe verification of some kind. Interested to see what his letter says.

My CSR limit was $32k when I applied for a CIP and got approved. I doubt that’s it, unless together with other credit lines from Chase it puts him at >50% HHI or something like >$70k total CL.

Could be verification. If he doesn’t want to call, just wait for the denial letter with the reason(s) to better prepare him for a call. And if he still won’t discuss recon with a rep, have him authorize you to talk over the phone on his behalf.

Was the mailer offer any different than the public or support link offers?
