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

We saw Toy Story 4 today, and DW and I came out of it really hating Bonnie.

I didn’t hate Bonnie, but I did hate the ending.

Am I remembering this correctly? Chase has a 1/30 rule for biz cards and 2/30 for personal?

So I could refer someone for a CIP and then for a CSP shortly after the CIP is approved?

For some reason, my fav was TS2. I just liked the premise of Woody being a vintage toy, plus Kelsey Grammer as Stinky Pete was terrific. Being the Seinfeld fan, I loved Wayne Knight as Al.

Funny, I watch way too much Bravo and Real Housewives and can’t stand Kelsey thanks to it. He treated Camille like crap. Awful husband.

I agree I also liked the vintage toy aspect and I think I just liked all of the western stuff. I thought them being in the toy store was cool too

Why did you hate the ending

Had a 1 night stay in Atlanta last night due to Delta and weather issues. Flew around so long waiting to land that we had to go to Columbia, SC to refuel so of course missed our connection. The rebooking agent gave me a phone number to call to try to get Delta to cover the hotel. Anyone had success with this? As a huge SW fan I know they would be compensating us for taking 24 hours AGAIN to get us home.

Worth a shot. Also consider contacting them on Twitter about it, they may have an email for you to submit a claim if you want an evidence trail. Did you happen to book with a cc that has trip insurance? Even if you booked on points and just paid taxes with the cc?
ETA: Save everything, including your boarding passes. If you only had mobile boarding passes make sure to screen shot them. We had to submit boarding passes when we did one of these claims to both DL and the Chase insurance team. Because you're weather related you might not get much compensation from the airline heads up- worth a shot though, the cc is different because weather is specifically covered under some policies.

So Dh and I went to lowe’s Tonight looking for a vacuum. Omg we were in there forever and still couldn’t decide. I’m pretty sure I want a shark, but not sure which one. We have the cats so the main thing is picking up litter and hair. The ion cordless seemed nice but not sure if it has enough power and I like a small handheld brush for the couches. Anyone have any advice suggestions?

If you used your Chase points on a CSR/CSP you’re probably covered! Google up your cards Guide To Benefits and read up on Trip Delay Reimbursement and then go file your claim. Don’t forget to include meals and incidentals you had to buy while delayed.

Oh man that look SO relaxing!

Anyone who is stalking AP SWGE preview want to share cell numbers in a PM and set off a group text when the first person sees the link?

As usual, I'm not caught up on this thread but wanted to propose an alternative. DH is a huge star wars fan so he's anxious to be the first in line for the preview and being the IT geek that he is, he wrote himself a little program that automatically refreshes the event registration as well as the passholder extras pages - I think he said the program checks these pages every 6 seconds and he was able to weed out the false positives in the last couple of days. Once open, the program sends a text directly to his cell phone so he will know within seconds that the pages are open for registration without having to constantly refresh manually. So I wanted to put the offer out there (and to this group specifically as you have been an awesome help to us despite my limited time to read and post; you guys have a really nice group here) - if you are interested in being added to the text message, feel free to PM me. I will share his cell phone with you and he will need yours in order for you to be added. Once the page is open, it will not be a group text, the text will go to each and every person individually at the same time. Basically, if there is any activity on the two above-mentioned pages, you will get an immediate text alert.

Hi and Welcome....I have been out all day.....so you may have a lot of answers since everyone here is super helpful
Most of us here start applying for Chase credit cards first since they have a 5/24 rule which means they will not approve you for their cards iif you have opened 5 personal credit cards from anyone in the last 24 months.
Their UR points are very versatile and can be used to book hotels, flights etc

If you are okay with opening business cards their Chase Ink Preferred CIP has the largest sign up bonus 80k UR with a $5k spend In the first 3 months....if you open one then refer DH you could have 190 URs between the 2 of you
Best way to open the cards is with your name and SS number as the business name and EIN

If you want to open personal cards apply the Chase Sapphire Preferred has a 60k sign up bonus after a $4k spend....if you refer your DH you would have 143 URs

Nice view.

Who knew SeaWorld had fireworks? We just found out thanks to the awesome upgrade we received of a SeaWorld view with balcony at the Renaissance!

Thanks. It was through his CSR. I didn't keep the receipt from the 1 AM Waffle House dinner we had after finally finding a hotel near the airport with available rooms! We did take a Lyft from the airport because we didn't feel like waiting for the hotel free shuttle, which also didn't stop at the international terminal. Tomorrow I will look into all that.

We saw TS4 today too. I was left with meh. Been there done that. And this is from the person who was hysterical ugly crying when I saw 3. 4 just seemed a little chaotic and forced. And I agree with @Lain and @PolyRob. All 3 of the girls did not like how it ended. I guess I still can’t get over that Andy should have been a pack rat and just kept his toys for his own children.
