I had a multi-quote going on my phone and lost it. Someone posted about PBK carry-ons for a 7 year old. I just bought my kids luggage for our Frontier flights.

Cody has the PBK rolling backpack. It was perfect for the trip. Fit exactly in the measurements and no trouble under the seat. I'd highly recommend it. I had enough space (in packing cubes) for 5 days of clothes, swim stuff, a swim toweling off wrap, and a pair of Crocs or tennis shoes (but not both). He also had his Sony headphones (kind of bulky) and a bag of snacks in there.

I bought Maddy this bag from ebags and also highly recommend it, even though it was slightly larger when packed than Frontier's guidelines. We didn't have any trouble though. It is slightly larger, but still fit under the seat in front of us.

These bags both fit as personal items (just barely for the J-World), and my kids managed them so well through the airport. I love that they can strap them on or wheel them. They had 0 complaints!

I know I often caution people about getting caught up in the excitement...but I don't know how much higher this bonus can go! 75k pts for $1,000 spend...depending on how you value AA miles you're getting more than $1,000 value out of this signup!! For those using them for Disney it's still a phenomenal deal...and it's a biz card! Just sayin...........

EDIT: I went for a match via phone on my card and a match via SM on my wife's card. I did order employee cards for each of us on the respective cards to show that I'm serious about this haha!

Agree! 50k a night for Swolphin is just dumb, which is why I cannot use 50k points per night there. It's like $125/night for some of our Aug nights if we were paying cash. And I feel like someone on the PL thread said they got Swolphin for just under $100 recently.

I’m beginning to deal with a little FOMO.

I’m planning a possible onsite trip for March and was considering hopping on the grAAvy train. I definitely have some studying to do but this seems like maybe a good start.
I was approved for my Barclay Arrival card in mid January.
Is it to soon to apply for this card and if I do, would I just use my name and SS# like Chase business cards?

Holy FOMO Batman!!! I've been resisting the grAAvy train- got my plans, going slow(ish) and steady (currently have $10k in MSR going, so I'm plenty busy with that), staying under 5/24 with Chase, no plans for AA miles, but then you guys hit me with this sweet offer AND the promise of slow Disney parks at the end of August... Gaaa. I do not have enough vacation time to go to Disney in August. I do not have enough money in my vacation budget for Disney tix. Deep breaths. I may need to step away from the board for a little while until I can resist the temptation.

Well geez you didn’t have to rub it in!

I am hoping to attain UR millionaire status with one more CIP. NOW THAT is something I’ll be proud of.

You know what would be a good start? A Platinum card for Zack.

The ebates and the Amex offer have me feeling like I need to buy something at Ebags. To Mother Lode or not to Mother Lode? And if so, to Junior or regular? Or should I get a rolling carryon to replace my cheapy Target bag, that I still love, just worry about its longevity. Too many decisions. How long is the ebates offer? I am not sure I have time to stare at suitcases all day today.

@amalone1013 i vote for a Biz Plat. You can get the $100 Dell credit now and then again in June!

I bought myself the Motherlode Jr. for mother’s day. First I bought a $100 e-gift card with DHs Amex offer. It triggered the 15% Ebates though could get clawed back. I got the bag for like $64 plus another $9 off in Ebates!!!

 

[Psychodisney]

DH was approved for CIP2 one day after my 80k points posted for my CIP2. Boy, that was easy!

Does anyone ever feel like we're getting away with something we're not supposed to? My Catholic guilt ....

@amalone1013 - Even better! And since Zack likes lounges so much, he might also enjoy the one year of access to WeWork co-working spaces that’s included with membership. And no effect on 5/24! We have numbers to call for the 100k offer.

I love the Motherlode Jr for our trip last week. I felt so organized and could still fit it under the seat. It really isn't much bigger than my old backpack but it's more square so easier to pack and organize plus the way it opens vs a normal backpack. Did 5 days of stuff with room to spare.

That went so poorly for me last time that I am about scared off of trying again. And I don't think I can get Zack to call for that, he's worse than me. And it doesn't help that he's had mostly bad phone experiences (what luck... about the only good ones have been setting up his CIP accounts lol).

I totally forgot to mention that while we were in Florida I saw tons of Wawa gas stations for the first time ever. The town we’re moving to is almost all 7-11 and wawa. We never did get inside one though
