Well, for what it’s worth, I’d say your stats are safer than most of the people on the thread going for CIP#2!

I appreciate your advice, as always. Thank you. I think I'm worried because there is still a long runway with Chase as long as they don't get annoyed with us. I don't want to burn the bridge at this point. I know I seem over cautious.

I am flying SW, but not until the end of May. Currently booked on 737-800, nothing has changed yet (points actually just went down, so I got some points back). Hoping it's cleared up by then, but I guess we will find out.

We’re in the same boat. Ours is the end of May and it’s a 737-800.

CIP referral DP: 20k points showing as pending on DH's CIP for referring me. Still no points on referring my friend who claims she used the link. I've sent SM to Chase and was told to wait up to 8 weeks, then send the the last 4 digits of her card and name. I'll plan on doing that next week.

A couple nice DP's to report . . .

#1 - Success with the Southwest personal 50k link. Just received the 50k miles after 2K spend for DH. That was a relief to see since I hated hated hated applying without a landing page.

Happy to hear this! I used (probably) the same link and hope to have the same results after my next statement closes in a couple weeks. We used our trip to Tucson to put a healthy dent in P2’s United biz (and we did!) but now that we’re home, it’ll be back to my SW personal.

On a related note, what do we all do after a trip? Laundry! Except here...Our dryer seems to have bit the dust. It still runs but no heat and no drying power. It ran approximately 5 hours this afternoon but our clothes are still damp. DH might be able to fix it, but it’s old and no guarantee the fix would last, so looks like a new dryer will go on one of our cards. Question is, which one? We’ll likely buy from Lowe’s and we have 10% offers on a number of cards that haven’t already been put towards other things, like gift cards. I don’t know whether to put it on one of those cards, or on one of the two we have current MSR’s on.

20,000 points pending in DH's CIP from the referral!

DP on Marriott 7 night cert from a hotel and flight travel package: The cert was set to expire later this month and we did not have it attached to an existing reservation. DH called today and requested an extension. They extended it for another year. I still have no idea where or even if we will use it. But at least I have another year to decide.

How long did yours take

I was out last week. Is staples offer still good? I see them at Albertsons but only MC and I prefer VGC.

The Staples offer expired. It was on the $200 MCGC.

Glad you found some last week! I went to 3 Staples last week and only found cards at one store. Of course, they only let me buy 1 card and it was too far away to go back. The OD near me has plenty of MCGC this week, but it isn't as good of a deal and I worry more about getting too many of them.

What is the OD Deal?

@Natgridenergy , I'm jealous of your $8000 run!

Wow! That was a worthwhile phone call!

Definitely. Now if we do decide to use it there will be another phone call to see if we can upgrade it to a higher category.

I’ve been lurking and learning a lot. I am at 5/24 but going back to 4/24 soon and hoping to plan a Disney trip for next year.

I’m also a lurker and infrequent commenter on r/churning. I would appreciate a link to the dischurners reddit so I can participate there and use support links as appropriate. As a lurker, I don’t think I can pm here to get the link (unless I’m doing something wrong).

Technically not until you have 10 posts... but if you let @SouthFayetteFan @Albort @Lain know your reddit name they will add you!

Came across some Pandora bracelet charms that I dont want anymore (bad memories - they never made it on to the bracelet even...). Looks like I can get a few bucks for them on ebay. Hello business!

For those interested in discussion of potential SW cancellations due to the MAX grounding (and keep in mind, this is not SW's fault - they are trying to make the best of being down 34 planes out of their fleet of 754) I'd recommend you check out the most recent pages on the SW megathread here on the DIS:
https://www.disboards.com/threads/post-all-sw-questions-concerns-etc-here.2500174/

Here are some recent tidbits shared there: (@shoreward, @SinCityMMAFan - sorry to quote your comments in a different thread but it's on topic to what we are discussing here now

Well my flight down is on an737-800 and my return home on the 737-700. If I'm going to get stuck somewhere, I have it set up perfectly.

For what it is worth, I was able to get Choice Hotels to match my Marriott Platinum status with a simple email. Comfort Suites used to be our go to for Hersheypark weekend getaways but now it’s Fairfield Inn for the Marriott points plus it’s closer to the park.

 

[platamama]

Thank you. I really appreciate the info. I have FOMO but don't want to risk Chase getting mad at my P2. The more good news the better.

I also have 2 CIPs open now. My first is from 6/2018, and I was approved yesterday for my 2nd CIP. Used SSN and middle initial. CIP#2 is showing up on the same login as my CIP#1. And it's my 4th Chase Biz card.

I hate to rain on the parade...but isn't that actually the opposite, since the 800 is the more likely flight to be affected (i.e. how do you get there?)

Am I also mis-reading this one? Choice matched Marriott...but it doesn't matter because you wanted to stay at Fairfield anyways? Or did Marriott match Choice status? Or are these two just unrelated comments but sharing information nonetheless, lol!
