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

Hit my MSR on my CIU and my SUB is pending (attached to the purchase that put me over apparently)
Now I'm not sure what to do next. I am 4/24. The only other thing I am really interested in with Chase is a second CIP, but it's too soon since my CIU app for that.

I am interested in the Arrival+ as I think it would be good to help cover the costs of future DCL trips.

I am also interested in the Amex Gold card.

Not sure if now is the right time for either of those.

Help!

Woohoo, I can see my CIP referral points pending!

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.

Thank you! That's exactly the type of explanation I was looking for!

I’m going to try and catchup but haven’t been around since my Mom passed away suddenly and is with Dad in Heaven.
She was 91, still living on her own in the house we grew up in...she was blessed with a long, healthy life and was exactly where she wanted to be at home so for that we are grateful.

So glad I had plenty of SW points and was able to fly my son on them vs a $1,100 airline ticket

So sorry for your loss. My grandpa is also 91 and still living on his own in the house he's been in since the 60s. That's so nice you were able to fly your son home without too much added stress. Hugs.

Literally anything with at least a queen bed haha. I’m not fussy about views or anything like that and the way we travel I know we aren’t going to be in the room enough to enjoy any extras.

We are staying in the king celebrio ocean view room. I really liked the theming of the celebrio room. We didn’t do club level though because I expect us to be in the parks pretty early plus I’m a Hilton honors gold member so we get breakfast anyway

My grandma is the same! She is 91 this year and still lives in her same house. She drives 30 mins into 'town' to volunteer at a hospital two days a week (like 6-8 hour days!). She also hasn't been to a doctor in about 50 years lol. Only went for blood work once about 10 years ago so she could have cataract surgery People at the hospital are always asking her who her doctor is and she tells them "the good Lord". She's pretty awesome

That is awesome! I love hearing stories about people that live into their 90s and on, and how their secret is like 3 hot dogs a day with a glass of red wine at every meal I feel like that will be me one day!

Wow, I can’t believe I finally caught up on this thread!! You guys really fly through pages, LOL. Anyway, to share my news, DH’s referral 20K points posted and I immediately transferred them to my CSR. Yay! That was my first ever referral points, I was so happy to see them!! I am moving very quickly through both MSRs for my new CIP and my Hilton biz. (Good and bad haha)

My question is with regard to DH’s CIP. The AF posted and I have not used the card since so that is the balance. I remember that I have 30 days to PC the card, right? And DH has to call because you cannot do this via SM? That stinks cause he won’t want to do it. He has a CIC already but I think he is going to PC it to a second CIC.

New Amex Offer for Adobe.com

$10 back when you spend $10+, 3x. Expires 5/31/19

I had this on my Rose Gold. Just in time for this month's Creative Cloud charge. I wish there was a way to pre-pay, but at least I'll get 2x out of it.

Well, this was a great one. My monthly charge posted for $32.46 and I got the full $30 credit from Amex. So, instead of $10 credit three times, I got the full $30 credit for one charge.

Awesome! My grandpa drives for meals on wheels and works with various other organizations. I find it funny he helps out all these old people that are younger than him!

I just pulled the trigger on the Bonblech Brilliant - instant approval with a pretty high credit line. Does anyone reduce Amex credit lines? Is there any reason to do so?

Congrats on the approval!


Also, I have lowered credit lines between cards since I don't know what Amex's number is for extending credit. Prior to applying for the BBP (which I knew I'd want to put DD's college tuition on), I reduced my other CLs to $10K each. I don' t know if that helped or not but the BBP is $30K so definitely have the highest amount on the card I need.

Amex gave me 13K and then 25K on two biz cards. I think I will also reduce them both to 10K. Can I request that online or do I have to call?

@kidsfirsttrip , thanks for the info on Residence Inn Midtown East! I'll have to look into Lion King tix with Chase URs also.

Speaking of URs, my anniversary is coming up on the CSR. I plan to PC to a freedom. I already PC'd my CIP to a CIC. What do I do with my URs? Can they stay and then just be held on the freedom? I also have a CSP, but I may PC that one also, and then PC back to a CSR when I want the 1.5 redemption later.

I just do it via chat.

 

[tink1970]

That's smart. I've done it on line but it's a bit Byzantine and I can't remember how I managed it
