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

I apologize if this is a stupid question, but I just want to confirm.

I received a sign-up bonus on the Chase Sapphire Preferred 24 months ago thus making me ineligible for a bonus on the Chase Sapphire Reserve since it is currently less than 48 months ago.

My wife was an authorized user on that Chase Sapphire Preferred card (which is now closed). My question is, if I now sign my wife up for the Chase Sapphire Reserve, she would be eligible for the sign-up bonus correct? And if I made myself an authorized user on that card, would that in any way affect getting the sign-up bonus?

So yesterday was not a great day...my dear dog1 (the bulldog who looks a lot like my avatar) has a torn ACL and her surgery (if she gets it--DH is being so weird) will be about $4500 (est). Insult to injury-the vet specialist does not take Amex. NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

So a 4 figure surgery (during which my beloved pet might die since she has a pretty significant cardiac condition) without making Amex happy? Lose/lose/lose. That's my reality right now. I'm so mad at Chase for not approving DH's CIP right now--and worried sick about my furry child.

That stinks. So sorry you're dealing with this. I hope everything works out.

....But since there are DVC members here....they are running a contest to win a 4 night stay at The Rivera resort in a 1 bedroom villa...includes 3 day park passes and airfare....contest ends 4/7

Also my September SW fares went down

Thanks for the heads up!

Ok thanks. I don't get DVC emails (yet). Too new I guess.

Did you buy direct or resale....not sure if that makes a difference or not with these contests

I didn't get an email about it either, but have been a member for a while now. I first bought resale, then added on direct to get full member benefits via the 25pt loophole when it was still available. But I guess I'm still being shunned by DVC for being a second class citizen who snuck into first

BTW, here's the link for the contest https://welcomehomeriviera.com/

Are you looking under "service requests?" I just checked and mine says completed. But it looks like all they did was forward my request to another department. It says: "We have completed your request to forward your account for review on your AAdvantage Aviator Business Card account. We appreciate your business and look forward to continuing to service your financial needs. Should you have any questions, we are available at www.AviatorBusinessCard.com or at (866) 383-0361 from 7:00 AM - 10:00 PM ET, Monday through Saturday. Thank you, Business Card Services"

Regarding Citi, I can still see my message to them. I go to Services/Statements & Documents/View Secure Message Center. I can see the message I sent there.

Yep, there is nothing under service requests. Says 'you have no messages'. I can see my citi requests under the 'contact us' and then 'secure messaging'.

GUYS I THINK STAR WARS IS OPENING AUGUST 29TH IN DISNEY WORLD. NOOOOOOOOOOO.

Congrats on the quick approval .....that’s great...I had to fax in the EIN letter for DH in January....trying to decide which way to apply for my second CIP EIN or Another with SS only... ..

I debated the same thing. Decided EIN since it seemed safer. But if the second with SSN is a glitch that goes away, I'm going to be kicking myself.

@tink1970 Sorry to hear about your furbaby. What a difficult choice.

Yep! May 31 DLR & Aug 29 WDW

Business copier ditto

Maybe you can upgrade to something modern. Ditto machines are a bit out of date.

 

[gottalovepluto]

Intriguing. 2 phase opening SWL, Rise of the Resistance won’t open at Phase 1. Makes a lot of sense to me actually. (Following WDWNT on Twitter for this)

 

[amalone1013]

Yep! May 31 DLR & Aug 29 WDW

that is so not late fall. arghhhhhhhh

What?! That’s super early! Where did you see that at

 

[wendow]

Aug 29th opening!?!? Labor Day loveliness just got destroyed

They may not accept credit cards outright, but there are work-arounds like Plastiq (more on that in our Dischurners group, plus the support links over there can get you some discounted Plastiq fees) I'm paying my property taxes that way. I pay my mortgage with walmart billpay and wrote about that over on Dischurners. Paying federal income taxes is very easy online, check out pay1040 .com which has the lowest fees for tax payments (1.87% on credit cards).

Not OOP, but thank you federal income tax info! We owe quite a bit (despite what I feel is an absurd amount that we already had withheld) and opening an Arrival + for DH will help ease that pain!

Ha! It's definitely a nostalgia thing. Though we did talk about going to IA when they moved the NE state fair off to Grand Island, but never did. One of my very favorite things was the racing pigs... might have to look up where they'll be this summer

See, your band should play again and then we wouldn't go all that way for the fair, it'd be to see your band! I sent DH one of the concert act pages, and he was like, did you mean to send me the Luke Bryan one? I could probably talk him into it if I throw the concert in.

I like that you say the IP is always busy with the main course... sometimes I see a really good deal on an IP and I think... a second to do two things at once! I will probably consider that more seriously when we move out, I would feel bad stashing two IPs in MILs kitchen. We are already storing two Kitchenaid stand mixers now, along with two sets of basic attachments and two roto/shredder/sllicer attachment sets.

In all honesty, the state fair really is a lot of fun. We usually go every year and my parents go for a Wednesday-Sunday and stay at my aunt and uncle’s camper and then go to my other aunt and uncle’s house. I’ll have to talk to the band about playing! We didn’t last year because it’s a long drive and we don’t get paid since we play on the free stage. It may be too late to apply now. I’ll let you know!

Ok, so I know I said that I really didn't want to be shepherding my family around Star Wars Land, but I still can't help but be excited about this... I'm planning on building in one day of "do whatever you want" during our week, so it looks like my day is going to be waiting in whatever lines there are here. I'm planning for that day to be Wednesday, so hopefully not too many people want to be at Disney smack dab in the middle of the week lol.

Congratulations on the pro move!

I think you’re right to show some caution about drawing eyes to your two CIPs.

Typically, I’d suggest calling the CIP customer service at 1-800-945-2028 to ask that the card be expedited, but that might get confusing between your two CIPs and probably isn’t the best route.

I think if you call the automated status line, you should be able to follow the prompts to speak to a representative who can look up your application and expedite the new CIP.

Alternatively, see if the new CIP shows up on any of your Chase online (biz) accounts. If it does, you can send an SM for that new card specifically (select the card with a new last 4-digits), and ask a rep to expedite that card over SM.

Or you could just wait for the card to arrive via snail mail. It looks like you’ve got about 10 days until your trip, and there’s a good chance it’ll arrive by then. Remember, the CIP earns 3x UR on travel (but not dining), so charge things to your room to code them as travel.

Thanks! I have heard to charge things to the room so they code as travel but in my recent experience charging things to my MB the room charges showed up individually as restaurants so I don't believe they coded as travel. Am I doing something wrong?

I've had that happen once or twice with my own business points transfers to my own CSR. I call it in, they do it manually and then it works again the next time I do it online. Well, until it doesn't but I think it has only happened twice in the last few years.

Thanks! I will try calling next time.

That’s great mine is 9/18 think I am going to try it end of month when I’m back to 4/24. Do you need to CIP open a year to PC it?

Not sure. Maybe someone who knows more than me has the answer?

So yesterday was not a great day...my dear dog1 (the bulldog who looks a lot like my avatar) has a torn ACL and her surgery (if she gets it--DH is being so weird) will be about $4500 (est). Insult to injury-the vet specialist does not take Amex. NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

So sorry to hear about your pup. Our 2 year old boxer/hound has heart worm and needs to get a shot (that might kill him) next week. I feel your pain. Fingers crossed for you!

Yep - called this morning and was approved! Plan is for P2 to get SW Biz next and P1 to get SW Biz in June. CP's here we come!

Congrats! We have 2 CPs for the rest of 2019 and will use them for at least 3 trips. Such a great deal!

Nashville has nothing. BNA posted an update about all the airport expansions constructions about a month ago on FB and I commented we need PP.

Thanks! That's what I thought. Now DH is thinking we might just stay local instead. It better start warming up then since I am tired of being cold and this would be a chance to escape it!
