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

DoC posted about 20% off select gift cards at Staples starting 4/7. Would be great to stack if you have any left on your 10% Staples Amex offer. I've got $100 left on that offer so I'm going to pick up a Petco card for cat food.

OT but since it was a topic of discussion a few weeks ago, I’m currently in contractor HEdoublehockeysticks! I know this is par for the course in dealing with contractors but is it really too much to ask of someone to just be a decent human being and not lie?

Buddy is getting laser therapy on his leg for something similar to tendinitis. The vet sent a couple pics to my mom today and he's just too cute in his goggles. We won't talk about her fail of paying for it with her debit instead of her cc that she barely gets rewards in. But why does BofA make their debit and cc look identical? I should make a label for her.

I love the goggles!

Love the CIPpy Cup!!

I’m sure SFF hates it!

I got 5k for CIP#2, DH 9K for his CIP2.

All 4 of our CIPs were insta approved.

So I spoke too soon...just got home and what was waiting for me? My new citi biz card! And as a bonus, another citi biz mailer! Although it has the same expiration date as the first mailer I got - just says "Final opportunity to earn" on it this time. I really hope that doesn't mean they won't send me any more biz mailers.

Hope you get your card soon @SouthFayetteFan.

How are you getting AA Business mailers??? My family and pets all signed up for Aa accounts and I only get personal mailers. And we signed up as businesses

I’m at the airport trying to catch up before our flight and just saw this. Good offer right?!? Assuming we are still thinking AA miles are worthwhile. I might get it to use plastiq/mortgage. Such an easy way to meet a spend.

Edited to add: looks like DoC just posted on the increased offer too.

Maybe her vet would refund and recharge? My vet is great about all my crazy card usage to get my rewards LOL.

She had more than enough in the bank to cover it and can only get gc with her points. She's not worried about it and that's the kind of cc she wants so I let it be.

I wish my vet took amex.

Anyone ever figure out if the emailed 'mailers' from AA have the 24mo language or not? My dd had gotten a personal one, which I still haven't used, and now my plants have gotten biz ones. Wondering if I can use

This offer is going to incentivize me to get a bus AA card. Just as soon as I get close to finishing the MSR on my SPG BonVoy (CIP #2 is done).

Do I need a link to access the offer or can I generate from a dummy booking?

Dummy booking works.

I think @Natgridenergy was testing this...

I think he was testing if the 24 mo language really kept you from getting the bonus again but I could be wrong. You know me and my memory

Geesh, DH just got the 3rd degree verifying his CIP. I don’t remember that before. Was expecting automated verify and it sent me to a person. Good thing I did it as DH was walking in. Just shoved phone at him and said answer questions. They asked a bunch of questions including did you open this card yourself. That one and his age actually gave him pause. He gave wrong age too. Lol

Yes. I applied for me with an emailed invitation my wife got. It went through with the offer attached according to chat. It hasn’t posted yet. I will update when it does.

Haha! Well citi and Barclay made me wait forever so I’m not that great!!!

We need something on DISchurners with a bit more of this gem explained maybe. Cause I don't really understand quite how to maximize this. I've been trying to think through it all and I'm coming up

Thank you for asking this. I was thinking the same thing.

After almost 4½ days of pending at 2 weeks, I've been approved for CIP#2! Happy to join the rest of you guys drinking from the CIPpy cup!

ETA: This is my 4th open Chase business card, with my CIP#1 still open. Previous biz cards are CIP#1 (6/16), Marriott Biz (2/17), CIC (5/18). I dropped back down to 4/24 last month. Slashed my personal and business CLs in February and March. Credit line for CIP#2 of only $5k, so I might've still been pushing it (but that seems to be in line with many other CIP#2 DPs). Used the same name with initials and SSN as CIP#1 for CIP#2.

Wow! Congratulations!

I'll stop complaining about my 4½ days pending.

It has been hard this week reading about all the approvals!

I've been under this impression for a long time too. But, I have a contradicting DP for my Marriott Premier that I upgraded to the Marriott Premier Plus. The card's AF anniversary is 6/1. Last year's AF posted on 6/1, I paid $85, upgraded it in October to the Premier Plus. Got a refund for 7 months worth of AF (makes no sense to me since it had been 5 months), and the new AF anniversary is now 3/1. Thinking this might have also reset my card anniversary for the free night, I SM'd Chase and was told my card anniversary is still in May which was the original opening month of the card.

So basically I ended up paying $36 for 6/1/18-2/28/19 and used my old Cat 1-5 FN certificate last year, received 50K pts for the upgrade, and should receive my new up to 35K FN certificate sometime in June or July, for the new $95 AF.

Maybe this is what happens for co-branded Chase cards vs Chase UR cards? I can only go based on my own experience. I think @Judique had a similar experience with her upgrade IIRC.

I'm curious about if I upgrade my one of my CFs (I have 2, one is a downgraded CSP) to a CSR after my CF original card anniversary in 8/2019, if I won't be charged the $450 until the next card anniversary in 2020... Would you expect no $450 AF until 8/2020 in this scenario? Then, I could use up my $300 CSR travel credit in Jan (CSR anniversary month) and downgrade it in Feb. Hmmm...

So in my experience my card anniversary did stay the same when I upgraded my SW plus to the Premier card but my AF "anniversary" changed. My card anniversary was in December and that's when I'd get my anniversary points, but my AF changed to August. Don't know why it took so long when I upgraded in December, but it seems in the intervening years they've tightened up slightly where the AF catches up within 6 months now. You get an off cycle which I'm sure could be useful. I definitely had my anniversary points when I cancelled it!
