I recently got the Chase Sapphire Reserved card with the 100,000 promotion. My first statement will be dated 8-19. I am getting close to my 4000. spend requirement. Will I need to wait for the Sept statement for those points to post or will they show mid cycle. My plan is to transfer to my Southwest Rapid account.

If you don’t meet the spend before it closes this month you’ll have to wait until the Sept statement closes.
 

So my flight now departs at 12:15 am. But it has to go Houston to Memphis, Memphis to Atlanta and it’s still in Houston. I’m way too emotional for this. Have no clothes. Dogs at home.
What time did your flight leave? What time did you get home? Sounds like a long, stressful day.

Left around midnight and we were home at 230. Such a long day and so glad to be home. And I’m doing it again in 26 days. But staying over and I told ds to stay with his dad because flying stresses him out.

Mine says I can’t use the $50 credit until my next anniversary, which is 8/4/22. Ugh… I guess I will downgrade like I was planning.
 
Why, oh why did Dh put the landscaping bill on his platinum amex card when I just got him a new amtrak card with a new spend? Platinum is literally useless outside of the sign up bonus and very limited category spend!
Nothing put on the wrong card here, but I feel your pain. I have spend to meet on two Amex cards, and Friday sent the info over to our insurance agent to get new Home/Auto policies, which would have been $1700 to finish one spend. He emails back today, and says. oops sorry, the Home only takes bank withdrawal and the auto doesn't take Amex. That's gonna cause me some pain :-(
 
I should probably know this, but a MC GC could be used on shopdisney, correct? Thinking I could do this, and then use the MC GC to buy a Disney GC through whichever shopping portal is offering the best cash back at the moment.
I haven’t done your exact scenario, but I’ve regularly used Visa GCs to buy Disney GCs at Sam’s online. Rakuten allows me to add the Visa GCs as payment methods, but Dosh does not. I’m assuming/hoping that MC GCs will work like Visa GCs do, and I would think they’d be accepted at ShopDisney.
 
Here's your friendly reminder that Southwest Airlines next schedule release is expected to occur on THURSDAY September 16th. (One month from today). For those planning to snag flights, set those calendar reminders so you don't forget! I'll post additional reminders as the date draws nearer.
  • Currently SW is offering flights through 1/5/22 and this next release will take their schedule out to 4/24/22. This will likely be a popular extension covering winter holiday weekends and much of spring break.

Thanks - that was what I expected. It seems to be a moot point anyway, as this deal appears to be in-store only, and there are no officemax/officedepot stores near me.
 
Tomorrow is my flight on AA again. I've been tracking my flight and it hasn't been cancelled in awhile. But I only have a 50 min connection time. When I'm alone, it's okay...but I'm dragging 2 kids. And of course I have to go from the 2 furthest points possible in CLT. I'm hoping we get to the gate fast as we are row 22. I did make "goody bags" to give the gate agent and flight crew in hopes that maybe they'll move us up. If nothing else, maybe they'll let us get off faster.

But also worried because at checkin it was asking for people willing to take a voucher and different flight. That happened in June and then I was cancelled. So really hoping this doesn't.....I thought about taking the vouchers, but I know 3 is WAY harder to rebook than 1. I wish Spirit flew atleast to CLT, then this wouldn't be as much of a worry, LOL.

Wishing you smooth travels. Traveling with kids is so much fun:)

you probably gonna need to wait for next month.
you said its a reserve or a preferred. if its a reserve, i wouldnt suggest transferring it to SW as you can get a higher value on the portal at 1.5. sw is like between 1-1.4 at the highest. u also lose your flexibility.
 
Had DH upgrade his old CFU to a CSP today since BFF wanted to apply for a CSP. Figured $95 AF is worth it for 20k UR. I see the $50 hotel credit is available to use right now. I wasn't sure if that would be the case for a PC.

Just another perspective, but I've been transferring UR to Southwest even though I have a CSR. I've gotten 1.27-1.37 cents per point. It's less than the 1.5 through Chase Travel, but flexibility is king to me these days. If I did it through Chase Travel, it would be a cash ticket. If I had to cancel, I would get travel fund that expires in a year. But a points booking, I can get all the points back that don't expire, plus the tax refunded too.

I'm willing to pay for flexibility these days. I even bought a fully refundable United ticket recently for $50 extra/ticket (compared to the regular economy, not the basic economy). Would have never done that in the before times.

New insurance for new house and I tried to pay before closing. But nope the bank paid it as part of closing. Next year I’ll remove it from escrow.
