Well I can’t get squat out of Amex but guess what just showed up in my SW account tonight? 15k bonus points for the 15% bonus offer in feb/mar/April! Guess the bonus miles did work!
I went and checked my dh's account since he had the promo too. He only got 9,112 bonus miles from it. Definitely not 15% since the bonus points were 110k and then 5k MSR, but I am not complaining about a free 9k points!
I got 9,650 bonus points today. I'm pretty sure I had met MSR on the personal before the promotion started and maybe the BIZ statement had cut once. But hey, Im pretty happy to have a higher balance today than yestereday!
Maybe too late for anyone interested to take advantage (who doesn’t know) but ebates is having 10% back on a ton of stores today. In any off time today I was ordering prints on snapfish. Last year I didn’t print pictures until the end and making my scrapbook calendar Christmas presents was a bit of a scramble at the end of the year. Easy way to build up the MR points now.
CIP2 application engaged for my wife. Pending...2 weeks message...
Now to convince myself not to call the status line every 20 minutes....... Luckily I have a big loan closing tomorrow that will distract me from 10am until 1pm or so at least, HAHA!
The butterflies I get while that application is processing is ridiculous. I fully expect to go pending yet sit here (or rather start pacing) hoping for the elusive auto-approval!
I applied 7 minutes ago...I've already called twice and signed on to her Chase account and our Mint account in hopes of something happening...I can totally relate to this... I'm telling my DD to keep calling.
Yay! DH got his as well.Well I can’t get squat out of Amex but guess what just showed up in my SW account tonight? 15k bonus points for the 15% bonus offer in feb/mar/April! Guess the bonus miles did work!
Just checked DH CIP 1 and yes points are there!! I had checked this morning and they had not posted yet.Applied with instant approval on 6/1
Also wanted to tag @tink89 bc I think you referred your DH right after I did mine...
My son just finished his freshman year at college and I saw Venmo on his bank statements ( we have a joint account for his spending money) and I didn’t even know what it was. Gosh, I feel old. I never thought about getting one for myself before, but that is a great idea for MSR’s. I’ll keep that in mind if I need it.Same. My dd19 has probably never gotten cash from the ATM. Venmo? yep. All college kids know how to use it and it's really the parent who needs to 'season' their account lol. Not the kid!
Are any of the quizzes really legit though? LolThat wizardmore quiz seems off. DD and I both got Gryffindor. Or maybe we changed? We were both sorted into Ravenclaw before.
Well it was 35-33 so only one question off. Must just be tired and answering wrong.
I have sold on eBay for 15+ years.....if you’d like just pm me any questions...happy to helpI know this isn't necessarily the best place to ask but I looked and looked and cannot find a thread here on the DIS specific to selling on eBay, which surprises me. I was looking to talk with others who are successful at it (not to get tips on selling, but more to talk about how they do their shipping and anything I can do to make my life easier in the event I do sell things. Does anyone know if there is such a thread that I just can't find?

Thanks - I'll look for it on my next pilgrimage to the Container Store Last time I was there I found a cute cat-food scoop (that I actually use for bird seed because we don't feed the cats enough to need a big scoop, but the cats do like watching the birds).

Thanks! Ha, never too early to start looking at colleges but Chicago is way TOO cold!Not a local, but I visited as a tourist with my DD when she was 15 or 16 and DH was at a conference, so I can tell you what we did. We stayed at the Westin (no choice) and there is a tall tower next door (sorry I can't remember the name) so we went up to the top and looked around. We walked on the Miracle Mile and did a bit of window shopping. We took an architectural river cruise and that was really cool. We looked at colleges (LOL too early for you). We loved the Art Museum and the Science & Industry Museums. And we had pizza at Giordano's. Chicago was lots of fun.
