OT question. One of my adult daughters is on my MDE account. She doesn’t have her own MDE because she hasn’t ever gone to Disney without me and I always planned everything. Well, she is planning to go next winter and i made a reservation for her with my DVC points. She wants to make plans etc and have her own profile. Would that mess anything up for her since I already have a profile for her on my own account? Trying to avoid a call to Disney if I don’t have to make one.

Did you use Chase as the transfer or did you push from another bank?

Chase to transfer from a confirmed linked account. I'm hoping if I push it wouldn't trigger or smaller amounts?

They locked one of my cc's last week and then just went ahead and locked access to all my Chase accounts (including checking and savings). Grr!! So I sat on hold for an hour and a half and repeatedly listened to them tell me how I should visit the website or mobile app as most things can be done online. Uh, yeah, except they locked my online access. So annoying.
I hope you get it sorted out soon!! I've always hated having to call but now I really hate it

Very similar thing happened, they locked my whole personal account although the transaction was just with the other banking products. Should have some special priority if only way to unlock accounts is by calling, 1.5hrs is too much time on hold even in the current situation.

Those getting paper checks, does your status on the IRS page say "Not available" still? Been checking every day and nothing. We qualify... We use Turbo Tax and owed last year but I provided the debit information. However I just filed our 2019 taxes last week but many data points say that is not a hold up.

Same here except we use HR Block last year. No check today, still no status.

I got a Barclay JetBlue Plus card at the end of January. Reached the $1k MSR immediately with a JB airfare purchase. A few weeks back I realized those flights might not happen and I could get a refund, maybe, which could put the SUB at risk. So I made sure to put another $1k on the card before 90 days and just hit that milestone today with about a week to spare. It helped that I did not immediately cease spend on the card as soon as I hit the MSR. I always try to overshoot a fair bit, just in case charges get reversed, and I also figure it might help if they have algorithms that check if you immediately stop all spend after the MSR.

I filed my 2019 taxes on April 7 and got the "not available" status until this past Friday. On Friday, the message changed and told me to expect my check by direct deposit this week. Hopefully it arrives! We owed in 2018 but got a refund in 2019. I also use Turbo Tax.

DW applied for CIP as a sole prop. Last application was on 1/15. I’m surprised by this denial as I just got a CIP about 3 weeks ago without any problem. Not the end of the world, but definitely sounds like they are tightening the screws.

I got the 7-10 day message for a CIP on Friday, but was approved today. Not sure what changed, but am sure glad it did!

Just a heads up that it looks like SWA is starting to adjust the expiration dates of travel funds. I now have a bunch that expire on September 7, 2022. I'm missing $161.98 that expired 4/1/20 that should get the benefit of the new policy. I'm going to give SWA another week since my understanding is they are doing all of the adjustments manually and then call if my missing $161.98 hasn't shown up with a new, extended expiration date. Also, the expiration date of DH's CP is still showing as 12/31/20, so waiting to see the 6-month extension.

Thanks for the heads-up. Mine from my cancelled May flights are still showing Oct 2020 expiration.

Good to know. Did you continue to check or did it just show up in your acct?

Did not speak to anyone. Just happened to log in this afternoon and saw a new card. Called and had been approved.

How frustrating....we had to close by this Friday or lose the 3.125% rate...they did require a copy of his paycheck from last week

Got confirmation today that DD's summer service trip to Costa Rica is cancelled. She is sad but has been expecting this news for a while. DW and I also had a mini break to San Antonio planned around her trip so a whole bunch more travel plans to cancel.

Anyways, with all these cancellations, my points balances are looking quite healthy. Just hope there aren't any major devaluations in the short - medium term ....... or worse bankruptcies

Always push/pull using the other bank when Chase is involved. Chase is fraud alert happy. Discover can also be fraud alert happy fwiw.

I’m not sure if it’s the hormones or what but I had a huge meltdown before dinner tonight. I got samples of dreft laundry detergent and loved it so I bought a container of it awhile back. I used it for the first time today and it smells terrible! They changed their formula I guess and it’s so disgusting. I probably won’t use the whole container now. We ordered their scent booster beads to try with our unscented detergent to try

I thought scent could be an irritant.

I used Dreft way back when. Now I use Kirkland free liquid or tide free pods. I find scented detergent to be super gross (like the smell of regular tide makes me gag) and it’s bad for ds’s skin

Scented laundry stuff is the quickest way for my nose to get stuffy and irritated. Guy on the treadmill next to me reeked of fabric softener, it was awful but given other things I've smelled at the gym I guess it's not that bad but I like to breathe so.

I’m sure your hormones are totally going nuts. Just wait til you are postpartum lol!!

A lot of babies will react to scented detergent. We had bought Dreft as well but had to use a free and clear (like @havaneselover ) suggested. My first and third had super sensitive skin.

Quarantining with kids is no joke. It's rough!

Seriously, and @Lain and I only have one! I know I am exhausted working full-time plus making sure DS is attending his classes and getting all of his work completed. It’s really hard when his besties public school is barely any work and his private school is full on and probably giving extra work since they know the kids can’t go anywhere. Thank goodness for margaritas! That’s all I am saying!
