I love credit cards so much! v4.0 - 2021 (see first page for add'l details)

The 100K CSP deal has been out for awhile. At this point should we give up hope it’ll be available through support?

Most important, did you ride Velocicoaster? Thoughts on it? How was the wait?

Yes! LOVED it! Just the right amount of intensity. The waits were all over the place because of all the rain delays. During the morning/afternoon the waits were always 75+, in the evening after the storms it was closer to 45-60 minutes; Both times we rode we waited about 35 minutes.

Anyone know if purchases made through sams club travel would earn the discover card 5% cash back?

Not bad for a new coaster. I remember wait times of 90 min or more when Hagrid’s opened.

We're about to give up on support and just have P2 go for the public offer. We have some bills that would help us meet MSR that need to be paid soon.

Hagrid waits were always higher than Velocicoaster.

Had a good time at WDW last week! It did rain a lot and that sucked but it was also sunny (and really hot) other times.

DH and I rode Rise of the Resistance. It was a 10+ hour wait fiasco, but we did it. The rain was horrible that day and just messed up everything.

I got my Orange Bird sipper cup.

Love the Skyliner but boy it is slow, lol!

The cookies at Gideon's Bakeshop are amazing. The peanut butter was my favorite. That was a 3 hour wait (virtual queue). I got a T-shirt with a black cat on it. I call him the dark lord of baked goods.

Boy everything is really torn up in the bubble right now. I wasn't quite prepared for how chopped up/messy things are.

Started the week wearing masks - the mandate was lifted Tuesday. Flying again, being around hordes of people was honestly jarring to me.

WDW has always been expensive but I swear things just felt *even more* pricey this time.

Boarding my cat was traumatic. I missed him so much and he did not like it either!

Wow, 10 hours is a long time to wait! Sorry it rained so much, maybe next time it will be better. Peanut Butter anything is my favorite, no doubt. It will just take some time to get used to crowds again, especially seeing the whole picture! ( their face with no mask!) I am sure it was more pricey, or you could say why it felt that way. I understand about boarding a cat. I never have done that. They are independent and as long as they have food, water and a place to do their business, they are ok. Boarding them to me would be like trying to herd cats! and you know that would be like trying to push a rope laying on the ground! Although, we did have a cat early in our marriage, that whenever we left for a week, she would poop in our tub to announce her dissatisfaction!

I think Swan and Dolphin is blocked in the Chase travel portal along with all things Disney. You can use Pay Yourself Back instead and mentally put that money towards your trip.

@Mandi you can't book Swolphin directly thru chase but you can transfer URs to Marriott 1:1. Not quite as good as Chase portal but it works

I'm waiting until the end of the month. By then we'll be done with my MSR and are hoping the offer will update so we can move on to P2

Anyone been able to add another Chase cardholder for UR household transfers yet? Mine still doesn't give me the option

ive been hearing you can add if you call in.

I asked via SM and they said you could do it. You just need to provide Name of your household member, Full credit card number, and Number of points you want to transfer. Later this year or early next year I'm going to transfer some points to my Wife's CSP to book a room at Royal Pacific and Universal tickets.

Good to know. I forgot about Visa Gift cards. Pretty sure I’ve seen those there. Are they easy enough to use? Do they Auto drain or will I need to know my balance towards the end so it doesn’t get rejected when low?

VGCs don't auto drain everywhere. I found that out the hard way at a local grocery chain. Are Universal GCs accepted throughout Universal? Maybe you could use VGCs to purchase Universal GCs. Usually specialty GCs will show their remaining balance on receipts. That would make it easier to keep track of things.

they don't have swolphin in the portal anymore? bummer...

 

[hsmamato2]

OK I'm wondering what happened here..... I just got amex everyday - I got the card in the mail, can see it in my accts right away etc.- this weekend i got another card in the mail with a different # on it..... but I only have the original card in my acct....what is going on? I think I may need to call in- why would they send me another card? they both have my name on them

Chase pulled Swolphin when they pulled Disney resorts about 4 or 5 years ago.

SW card question. DD got the dang popup on the Delta card a couple of times, so that was a no go. She is getting email offers for a SW card with a 65k SUB with $2000 MSR and a $69 fee. Is this a good SUB for this card, seems like it would be fairly decent? I haven't paid attn to SW lately.
She doesn't make a ton or have a lot of spend, but she pays her roomies Venmo for rent, so that would work, yes? She'd have to lower her ridiculously insane credit line she has on her Disney visa first, as it's over 50% of her income LOL.

while this is possible to do... the cost equates to $750 opportunity cost per night + resort fees and parking.. Do not transfer to marriott. Book any hotel you want, and offset the cost by using CSR for groceries + PYB. Alternatively, if you want a disney resort (not dolphin), just buy disney gift cards at a grocery store, get your fuel perks, and then use PYB to erase those charges.

This is the offer that is out via support links and public offer right now so the email is not special. We have seen higher offers but also 40,000 is the pretty standard offer so I think 65,000 is a pretty good offer. I personally prefer the $149 card if she might actually fly SW this year. It will give the 4 upgraded boardings, a $75 credit (so AF effectively $74) and you get 7500 Anniversary points instead of 3000.

Is there a reason she wouldn't try for the CSP instead?
