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

I think this got lost in the excitement of what does SouthFayetteFan look like. Haha There are some support links on reddit for spend $10k on Plastiq and get $10k in FFD. I think that is what you are referring to. I believe the $10k has to be finished by the May 31, but double check me on that. The supporter also gets $10k FFD so if you already had an account and then supported P2 then you could have $20k FFD together. There was also recently talk of some MCGC coding as 1%. I think @Lain had posted about that but it seemed to be only certain ones and maybe not even all the time so I am not positive on that one. I hope that helps.

This may be very interesting if it continues into late summer. I have 2 college tuitions to pay. That's at least 50k (maybe more...depends on financial aid so I won't even have numbers before June). If I could cross refer with DH, we could spend 2.5% only on 20k I think and pay 30k with no fees. That would be $500 for $50k? I could do that even without a SUB, just for points.

I was assuming this new change meant you can no longer book the hotel on points if you don't have the total number of points needed in your account at the time of booking. I suppose I could do points/cash, but I'd hate to get stuck with a bunch of cash nights if it won't let me go back and apply points to the booking as I earn them. I know @Haley R mentioned she ran into this issue recently on a Hilton booking.

DISREGARD.

I just checked on DH's account, who doesn't have enough points for this booking I'm trying to make, and it does give me the option of points advance. Apparently you can just no longer choose that option if you do have the total amount of points needed in your account.

THANK YOU! DW has 80,000 UR pending on CIP#2! I’m thinking the 20k support bonus from my CIP#2 will show up today too. @PolyRob, check yours too!

Wooooo! Thank you! My 80,000 URs are also pending! What a glorious day

I was just going to type that for you Points advance is still alive if you don't have what you need.

But it must be a recent change that you can't wait to order the cert as I had 3 options when I booked one of our nights the other week - use our FN cert, order a cert now with immediate deduction, or wait to order. Unless that was a glitch and I wasn't supposed to have that option showing if I had all the points already. Wouldn't surprise me if it was.

Hahaha back to Gilmores, I love it. I could not stand Jess, still can't, every time I watch. Yet I LOVE him on This is Us. It's so crazy to me that he is the same person LOL.
SNL, ick, we watch news on NBC, and I grab the remote the second it ends on Saturdays. It's so not funny, I can't stand it. It used to be funny, but it hasn't been in so very long.

So I have 4 flights this summer- 2 seem unchanged and show up fine when searching- the other two were adjusted by like 15 minutes and everything looks cool-so I guess I don't need to be concerned about canceling now?

If your flights are before Aug 5 and still good then it's unlikely to be cancelled (nothing is ever certain). They have only finalized the changed schedule through that date, anything after is still up in the air depending on when the planes are approved to fly again.

Funny, today is also the day I have a reminder set to look for my Chase savings promo. Nothing pending there yet...

I wasn't trying to do anything with a FN cert on mine this time since the hotel I'm booking is only 12,500 a night. But I'm definitely hoping to use one for Tokyo next year!

In case any of you are wondering where this luxurious 9 night Marriott stay will be, I'll be heading to glorious Columbus, OH in October for an elegant jaunt at a Townplace Suites.

Please note my sarcasm.

So your CIP won't show up on your personal profile - you'll have to *gasp* call and have them merge (so that your personal Chase CCs show up on your biz profile), if you want them all on the same page. I personally prefer mine under one login, keeps my spreadsheet to DH tidier (in case anything every happens to me and he needs to know what the heck is going on!) I know others keep them separate though!

I'm not familiar with Mint, so I can't comment on that!

Oh yeah - I’m very familiar with the process. Just was surprised that Chase’s back end system has acknowledged I have the card but I can’t see it on the front end. It was just a weird observation.

Pops up in the afternoons IIRC, should see it by the evening.

 

[SouthFayetteFan]

Booo, still don't see my referral points for CIP 2 pending.

I don’t get concerned until support clicks don’t post by midnight on Tuesday. Sometimes they can post very late in the day.

Girl...you gotta get on the train! Get yourself that 40k dummy booking offer + $250 statement credit. It's a biz card and has a $2k MSR. You sell the gift card and get $200 cash on raise.com (so you have a 10% return before you even factor in the miles). If you have no other use for the AA miles at a minimum you could get ~$160 in Disney gift cards (or $240 if you can score the 20k match). You could also sit on the 40k (or 60k) AA miles to see if a better use comes along.

Can you explain the “ dummy “ booking offer to me? I’ve seen it mentioned a few times now. I looked on reddit and didn’t see it explained there either. I’ve almost met my MSR on Citi AA card.
Thanks.

I figured you were, not sure why I doubted our benevolent dictator wouldn't have that knowledge!

 

[SouthFayetteFan]

Does Marriott no longer allow you to book on points and have those points deducted from your account later? I just went to book a 9 night stay for October and it's 100,000 points. I have those points in my account, but it didn't give me the option to wait and pay with them later. Is it because I already have the total amount needed?

I think they still do points advance. You could test it by booking a dummy hotel using all your points and then try to book your actual hotel with no points in your account.

 

[Albort]

Has anyone used the Biz Plat Dell credits? I ordered some nice ear buds for ~$100 (going in some lucky person's easter basket), got my $10 amex offer credit, but I haven't seen the rest of the charge be reimbursed. I did add the benefit to my card. How long does it usually take for those credits to show up?

3 days for me.

I would think you're all set, but I'd check every once in a while to make sure they still look good!

Great, thank you!!! I will clear $1,500 from Chase today between the “SUB” and bank bonus. Not a bad payday

Ahhh but 9 nights in Columbus in October sounds like the Quarter Horse Congress. Twine Place Suites may not be a fancy use of points or cert but the Congress should be FUN.

Ummmmm. I think that needs to be a 10 night stay. If you are staying on points, every 5th night is free, so make that a 10 night stay and get the extra elite night credit, since it doesn't cost you anything! No need to stick around for the last night - just don't check out in the app until you're gone (you might want to waive houskeeping or leave stuff in your room until they've come through so that they don't accidentally check you out early). You are the perfect candidate for Marriott status- lots of hotel nights a year (esp at lower cost options) which can translate into swanky award stays with your status! Every night counts

Unless you're already going to hit Platinum without trying, in which case, eh.

It's probably my second favorite... behind Omaha I'm biased of course, but Omaha is a really great and well respected zoo

We'll be thinking of you and your family

The Omaha zoo is something else. With all the work they have been doing lately its even getting better. I grew up in the Chicago land area and going back there to the zoo now is just not what I remember as a kid. LOL. Totally spoiled on the zoo here.

Strange observation about my CIP approval today...

I found out because of the Chase - Mint notification that I received. Basically I told Mint to update with any new Chase accounts. Then I called the automated status line after rolling out of bed to confirm. The weird thing is I don't have any other biz cards so my Chase profile is personal only. My CIP isn't appearing in my Chase account OR on Mint... So somehow, Chase's back system knows I got a new card, but I can't see it on my Chase profile, the Chase app or Mint, LOL! Just a weird observation...

Wishing you luck! Mine did something like that, card arrived and I could not attach it to an existing or new profile. I had to call and they had a heck of a time too, finally they did something but I could not create an account so they had to reset everything and send me a PIN that I had to read to them so they could open the account for me then give me the info. It was a mess.
