How far in advance does Chase announce its next quarterly bonus categories? Will we not know until July 1st or do we have some planning time?

This is a close guarded government secret that cannot be released until the middle of the month prior (June in this instance). Probably around the 15th...

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms on our happy thread!

We have so many more lady churners here than other churning groups (ie r/churning) and I’m sure many of you are moms! Thanks for all that you do for your children!!

I am bumping this to see if anyone knows the answer.

I just booked a hotel on my CSP. When it gets to the final booking page it should show you the total points used to cover the charge, which should be the 2/3 of cash price. I have no idea about cancelling and rebooking though.

@Andysol I am so so sorry for your loss

 

[Chancery8]

@Andysol so sorry you lost a member of your family. Pets are definitely more than pets, they are family.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers out there. Hope you all have a great day!

I made a rookie mistake, now I need advice for my next step. I applied for CIP #2 for me and DW on May 1st. My app was instantly approved (despite Chase's fraud concerns when I previously applied much too soon on 3/1/19). Unfortunately, I forgot to lower my wife's Chase credit limits. Her 1st CIP was on 2/1/19. Her denial letter mentions too much credit from Chase, and mentions her recent CIP application on 2/1.

I have already lowered the limit on her first CIP. I don't feel good about asking her to explain her need for a second CIP to Recon, especially on Mother's Day. I think I should wait and reapply on 6/1, though it will mess up my plans to pay college tuition in August. Any other suggestions?

Why does waiting until June mess up plans for tuition in August?

See this is why I hang out here where we are all nice. I posted on the cruise section to ask about whether a soccer game is likely to be televised on board while we are sailing. DSs favorite team is playingin the UEFA Championship & he’d love to see the game. I get a snarky reply that it would be a shame to miss the beauty of Alaska for a soccer game. Because we’re supposed to sit on deck watching the beauty of Alaska 24/7. No movies, no shows, no sleeping. We might miss some of the beauty. (Don’t get me wrong, I am looking forward to seeing Alaska. Just reality that we do other things as well.)

Good grief, what is wrong with people???

 

[elgerber]

I am really bad about this. And I don’t think I could even guess most of our balances within a 50% margin.

This is the one thing I do have a spreadsheet for LOL

I can’t keep up here lately but I’m skimming the posts.

I am so sorry for recent pup losses or those with sick pups. I have been there many times and these posts make me so sad.

I love to camp! Two years ago I had a week at Boardwalk in a studio a couple nights at the Sand key in Clearwater, and we finished it off with 2 nights in a tent at Fort Wilderness. Something ate me alive but didn't touch my friend and I was completely miserable. I will go again, but it will be in a hard sided camper of some sort.

You can go to Disney at a hotel cheaper than the campsites. We did the campsite in October and it cost more than a hotel. No discounts on campsites.

I was hoping to apply for CIP#3 or CIC around 8/1.

Ugh. Why? I remember on the cruise forum people used to comment on people watching movies. Why do people care what other people want to do on their vacation?

 

[NY Pirate Princess]

What is this offer? I've seen it mentioned before, but don't know how to find it. I have the no AF Disney visa.

Sorry been off the board for a bit. It was a mailer and email to upgrade to premiere card with $49 af and $100 deposit to account with one charge.

IKR? I mean it implies we should do nothing else except look at the scenery. And judges us at the same time.

Happy Mother’s Day to the best bunch of people on the Internet!

People who are not satisfied with their life/themselves will never miss an opportunity to put someone else down so that they can feel superior for a few moments. You find them online all the time because it's the only place they can "fake it." They don't realize how transparent it is, so all you can really do is pity them.

Contemplating going onto the cruise threads to post that my favorite part of doing 3 day Bahamas and CC port cruises on the Dream with just DH and I are staying on the ship and sleeping until noon or later, catching a movie, going back to the room for another nap and waking up to eat at Palo or Remy just to There's just no sleep like DCL sleep This year's cruise will be different since we managed to rope in 7 of our Disney Cruise friends to come with. We've got a cabana and will actually get off of the the ship and go to CC. We will likely just be playing rounds of Cards Against Humanity and Disney Against Humanity in the cabana, so there's that. Personally, I think it is silly for others to criticize how someone spends their vacation. If you don't like what they are doing then don't do it on your vacation. You do you.

Well finally caught up the last 10 days!

You guys didn’t disappoint you have been busy. Well bummed that I couldn’t do the plastiq at 3x. I had planned on paying the bills when I got home tonight.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms! Hope you are enjoying the day with your kids

You all will understand my frustration. So the whole vacation I wasn’t working on a spend. We ended up going on shopping sprees for 3 out of the 5 of us. It was so Hard seeing all the totals add up and have spent $2800+ this vacation and not have it go to a spend. Then to see ebates in store go from 1-2% to 15% the next day. Thought I’d get to the staples, paid down my balance on my CIC and then the staples closed last month. There went that plan.
Hoping staples does another mc fee free deal.

@Andysol sorry to hear it’s not easy losing a dog. We put our 15 y 3 mo old black lab down the day before we left for Disney in March. It’s not an easy decision to make. Hope you find comfort in the good memories.

@wendow glad your MIL is in assisted living Hopefully her spirits are getting better given the circumstances. Hospitals can drain the emotions quickly.
