Thanks for this- saved me a trip to the pump, and I didn't want to go anyways since it's cold and SNOWY! I chatted as well and they said to contact them tomorrow to have the fuel points rolled over to April. I also try to run both cars down to almost fumes, but we usually only get about 30 gallons between both cars. We go at the same time and fuel both cars at the same time. I think our card or the gas station might have a $100 authorization limit, as we can only seem to get to pump exactly $100, which means at a $1 savings, we max out at 30 gallons anyways. This has only been an issue now that gas prices are so high.
I think you got great suggestions, but I would highlight Flying Blue (Air France and KLM). They have monthly promotions you can watch out for. If you can pair it with a Amex transfer bonus, you're in really good shape. I scored a 35k MR biz class deal on Air France just recently.
Virgin is an MR partner as well, and they offer Air France and KLM flights as well. I think in non-peak season, their economy flights are as low as like 12k one way. And you'll sometimes find transfer bonuses as well.
I applied two days ago as well with only 60 days between biz apps. Card showed up in my account today with 5k CL. I bet you'll be fine. Good luck.
ETA: Correction, it looks like it was approved the same day I applied, but I never opened the email. Same as you, it did go pending, not instant approval, which seems more of the norm for me lately with Chase biz apps. Thanks
@wanderlust7 for suggesting I app for the Venture X first and then the Chase biz app before the Venture X showed up on my credit report. That strategy worked out well.
I do really like Hilton but their FNC system is archaic, with how you have to call, etc. I would call again and ask them to separate out the points night on room 1 (if it is on the front or back end). They have done this for me before without rebooking the whole thing, so it's possible, but I don't think they like to do it (nor are required to do it). Always be aware though that a standard room has to be available on points to use your FNC. And sometimes when you cancel your room, it DOES NOT pop back into inventory, if they are overbooked, etc. So there is a risk. If you are Diamond, I'd call the Diamond Desk at 1-877-444-9847
