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

*sigh* That card is waiting for me when I get home to make a $5k spend on and it’s questionable if I’ll even get the right bonus.... Now to decide if I say screw it & close it right away in order to hit the bonus on another card.

Normally I’d be rather pissed but I’m in the Seychelles right now and it took me about 5 seconds after hitting the ground to slip into Island Mode.

It’s been raining most of the day. Was POURING on arrival and lots more rain in the forecast but I got lucky and caught a break this evening. Next storm is coming in and I know I just shared a photo but I think this is one of the coolest I’ve ever taken so I’m sharing a second one. Keep chasing points and dreams DISchurners!

Wow - those are both beautiful photos. I could just stare at my screen for 30 minutes right now and do no work... (As opposed to hanging out on DISboards or reddit for 30 minutes and doing no work...because actually doing work isn't really for me today, lol!)

P2 approved for CIP#2 today with self referral!

Also, I had luck finally at Dollar General loading my Serve card with MCGC's from Staples. Only let me do $500 though. Hitting up another one after work!

Congrats

Speaking of Capitol One, I need to buy WDW tickets for my Nov trip. I'm leaning towards Undercover tourist because they code as travel and have a park hopper fifth day free promo right now. I cant get an Arrival+ because I'm over 6/24 so my next thought is Capitol One Venture 50k offer to erase part of the charge. Can anyone come up with a better idea that I am not thinking of?

I'm over 6/24 too and want that Arrival plus so bad! I don't really know much about the Capitol One, just commiserating over not being able to get the Arrival.

I filled out the online form to upgrade my Disney Visa to the Premier card Friday night. It said it could take up to four days, but I hadn't heard anything.

I just got an e-mail to add an authorized user to my "Disney Premier Visa Card" sooo I guess the PC went through.

Did they bump you to the $100 statement credit? I got a mailer last week to upgrade for that offer. I am right at 24m since approval (today actually) so I doubt I would get the credit. Into the trash it goes.

Beautiful! Have so much fun on your trip.

Nice!! Talk me through it just ask to load to serve and then swipe your v or mcgc? Codes as debit?

Lol we were really hoping to get everything done this trip so we wouldn’t have to fly back down. We got so lucky with this house. Our realtor is FANTASTIC though. He has been so great. He was assigned to us by dh’s new company. He knew the lady living in this house because she’s also a realtor so it was really all thanks to him. He called her and she said we could go in her house that very same day. Then we went back one more time the next day, signed the papers this morning, and the owner of the house signed them about an hour later. The inspection on the house is already this Friday. The whole thing just went so smoothly.

Wow this sounds so similar to the way we bought our current house. We also came up on a scouting trip months before our move date, found an unlisted house on day 2 that we loved in the perfect location, and bought it. Ours had no pool and needed a lot of work though, lol. At the time I worried we had moved too fast, but 7 years later we have NEVER regretted it. Congratulations!

Yes! I have a bunch of the 200 MCGC. When I first asked the cashier she wasn't sure she could load Serve. She had these "cards" behind the counter for loading different things, and said we could try the "Vanilla" card. So I just did $200 at first. I gave her the Serve card and she said it worked so then I swiped my $200 GC. It automatically processed as debit. Typed in last four digits of card number as pin. Once we both knew her card would allow it, I asked to load more and she said I could only do $500 total, so I just did another $200. I'm not sure if I had asked for $400 all at once if I could have just swiped twice in one transaction, but I'm assuming so. Maybe someone who has done it before can comment.

Yes! Glad I skipped the previous offers where I would have only made $1.

For $51, I figured I would do it. LOL I got my last bonus just about 3 years ago so I figured why not?

 

[MrPTato]

"Hi...I want to reload my Serve card" (Dollar General will swipe it for you, Family Dollar you can swipe yourself)
"Please swipe you card...great...how much would you like to add?"
"$500 please!!!!!!!"
"Great...go ahead and swipe!" (VGC or MCGC and enter the pin).."Thanks have a nice day!"
You then run outside and to the next location.

You will get an email that funds were added, along with the receipt from the merchant.

I couldn't remember if it was you...glad you waited!

Its on the very back burner...it says by 6/30 so maybe I could do it toward the end of June and just downgrade next year.

Just curious if you considered opening this account with the $250 SUB / $500 MSR? I currently have the no annual fee Disney card and was planning to open a new Premier account hoping to get the SUB. Would this not work?

 

[DrFacilier]

Oh my gosh, that's so funny! My DS20 wants a dog. We currently have a cat. He wants a Husky, and then plans to bring the dog with him when he moves. Although, he seems quite comfortable living in my finished basement so really this means I'll have a Husky. Plus, I told him a lot of apartments won't allow a big dog like that.

Lol. DD8 loves huskies and will likely have one some day. I'm sure karma will make sure I have a grand-doggie at some point.

Got that offer in the mail a couple of months ago. It is a quick $51 huh? I wonder if I could still PC and just cancel it next year.

You can open both cards and earn both bonuses. Whether that’s your best move...it possibly isn’t as neither of these cards are very lucrative compared to other options. @PolyRob did this because it was a way to get $51 without opening a new card.

Also - I see you’ve made a few comments on our thread. Are you into churning credit cards? Would you like to join our reddit group? Would you want some more customized advice on how to supercharge your CC earnings? We can help with all of that here.

@3 DD love princesses - the same way you got 2 CIPs with SSN.

So can you get three this way?

Got it. I’m only doing it for the SUB. Got a cruise to pay for so I’m staggering my credit cards for maximum SUB to help pay for my cruise.

 

[SouthFayetteFan]

Your only limit is your imagination haha. Did you miss the discussion yesterday about the person who has 4 on r/churning. This is most certainly a loophole so it could get shutdown at any time. But if Chase will approve you, currently you could probably get 10! The only limit is your imagination and level of courage!

That all any of us are doing here. We are all chasing Sign Up Bonuses.
