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).

The call is (mostly) harmless. I can give you a walk through if you're interested and can convince Zack to call for it.
 
Anyone with two serve cards, can I have them under the same login? How do I activate a temporary card with the login I already have?

I remember reading your post here about how your call went and trying to follow that, but the guy I got couldn't find the $5k offer was just really determined to sign me up for whatever MR card earned extra points on shipping. He kept calling and leaving me messages for a few months. Looking at the WeWork site, I do think Zack would like that especially when traveling vs trying to work in the hotel room... but since the locations are downtown I don't think he'd actually go. Not much warehousing in the pretty downtown areas :) Looking at his current jobs, those are 20+ mins from his jobs/hotels and I just know he wouldn't bother to drive that far then. And I know at home he wouldn't go down to those vs going in to the office.
 

I found an interesting electronics organizer on Amazon I think I might get. Adding on to my efforts to simplify my packing by having some duplicate stuff ready to go, and the fact that I forgot my darn phone cord last week and had to buy one for $20... What I am really liking/intrigued by is the fact that you don't actually have to remove the cords to charge things if you don't want to. How nice to just unfold it and be able to line up phone/camera/external battery and just plug them into the wall or into an adapter (I've got a 6 usb port adapter for traveling... somewhere). Thought I'd throw it up here in case it interested anyone else.

Have you spent down any of your UR hoard yet?
I plan to cash out big time...but I just want to see it say 1million first LOL!

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

Does anyone ever feel like we're getting away with something we're not supposed to? My Catholic guilt ....
They are welcome to decline you at any time! Don’t feel guilt!
 
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.

I got the Motherlode - regular, not junior, a couple of weeks ago. Its really nice - used it on a quick weekend trip and it was comfortable to carry (we took the train and carried our stuff all over NYC) and fit TONS of stuff. I never expanded it, and it fit all my clothes for 3 days, an extra pair of shoes and my medium sized handbag inside it. In fact, I'm eyeing the junior because the Motherlode was really bigger than I needed for that trip. I'm trying to get DH to take the Motherlode off my hands (he's looking for a new weekend bag, and he carries camera stuff with him, so he always needs 2x the room that I do) so that I can get the junior - esp. at the price right now with ebates/amex offer/sale.... its kind of killing me.

Anyway, I'd vote Junior for a good overnight size, full sized if you want something that you could pack several days in and carry-on.

I walked by a wework place in NYC when we were there - kinda wanted to whip out my laptop and send some emails just because. I don't see a time I'd ever use it - if I'm traveling for work, the hotel room works fine (quiet and generally fine internet connection) and if I'm traveling with the family I'm rarely in a place where I'd find a wework location.
 
Chase email going out, got this offer for my CSP just now. Looks similar to the IHG offer except this is a flat $5 statement credit. No 5x UR :laughing:

Earn a $5 statement credit when you pay a bill in any of the
categories below with your Chase Sapphire Preferred® card
between May 13 and July 31, 2019.1
mail

Utilities
mail

Insurance
mail

Phone service
mail

Cable

States that the card must be open and in good standing at the time of the payout so unless folks report back it's fairly instant I'll be missing out. I might be blind but I'm not seeing a minimum payment amount. Could you pay $1 to your cell phone and get $5 back? That could be interesting :)

I'll be interested in your review :-) I've been looking at the ebags Cord Cube (the small onehttps://www.ebags.com/product/ebags/cord-cube-small/350942?productid=10599453) ahead of our international trips in November and December.
 
Interesting, last week with my CIP when my Plastiq payment was pending I could see it pending at 3x URs... the payment I made yesterday is pending but don't see any URs pending yet.

Just trying to be a :cheer2:

Charges and points actually go pending as part of separate processes I believe.
 
Question about flying SW and purchasing the upgraded boarding using the SW Priority card---if you purchase the upgraded boarding for one leg of your trip, do you get it for a second leg? Or would we have to use the boarding position received at our 24hour check-in time?

This is legitimately the first non-nonstop flight we've flown in years! We're flying from PHL to SMF with a change in PHX on Friday.
