I love credit cards so much! v5.0 - 2022 (see first page for add'l details)

There are reports of delays. Did you get the $95 statement credit? It seems like they fixed that and broke the miles posting.

When I did it, the miles posted day after statement closed. But then it took 3 SM's to get the credit.

I did receive the AF credit. I went ahead and PM'd them and they said I did meet the spend, that was the correct offer, and it might take 4-6 weeks to receive the points. Makes me feel better and I'm not in a big hurry to book anything so not a big deal. I just thought it was weird because I didn't recall having an issue before.

So maybe I line it all up and do it Monday? I'm not in a super hurry. Though there are some bills I'd be happy to pay w/ the new cards, LOL.

If it was me I would. That way if you don't get to it you have more days. It just can't be started on a Fri or sat. You could start sun and then recon Mon if needed and app for the 2nd on Tues. It's just the 2nd card can't fall on the weekend.

When are you supposed to see the $95 credit? My first statement just closed and I haven't seen it. Also there are AA points earned on the statement but my total in the app is 0.

Anyone else who uses Dosh notice that Office Depot has been removed from the cash back offers, or am I just not seeing it? Used to be a nice way to make a few extra dollars picking up gift cards, but maybe they caught on, haha!

My Dosh still shows Office Depot at 2% online & in-store - just checked. But I actually buy merchandise from them, not gift cards (I don't have a physical store within 50 miles of me).

I wonder if they are removing the offer from people who do a lot of gift card purchases?

Thanks. I've done half of the spend so I'll wait until my next statement closes. I am curious as to why the points for the current spend are showing as 0 in the app. I'll give it a few days before asking Barclays.

DP for an instant approval for DH for a CIU with a support link from me. He got a $6,000 credit limit. It's his 2nd ink card and he also has a SW biz card along with 4 personal cards (CSR, CF, SW & Hyatt).

I just got an offer from AmEx to open a biz bank account and get 30k MR. Need to transfer in $5k, keep it there for 60 days and perform 10 transactions (ACH, Wire, and Bill Payments only). Is this a decent offer? Can the account be opened online? It sounds like I could just transfer a few dollars 10 times and it would qualify; can it be that simple?

@Haley R are you guys ok from the storm. Looks like you're getting a lot of rain and wind though it looks like the worst is still to come as far as the wind.

Putting together a trip to Paris for March. (We have decided to postpone Scotland until the summertime.) For Disneyland Paris, recommended hotel? I was looking at New York- The Art of Marvel. Thoughts on going directly to DL for 2 nights (Sun-Tues). Is the dining plan worth it? I was planning to use the DL transport from CDG. 5 nights at Park Hyatt (Tues-Sun). Will it be difficult to take the train into Paris with luggage? Our flight home is at 9:30 am on Sun so deciding whether to just spend Sat night closer to the airport. Would you head to DL first or at the end? Can I use Disney GCs to pay for DL Paris?

I have been all over the place with this 16th birthday trip. I wanted Rome but flights weren’t aligning so Paris it is. I loved Paris when DH and I went many, many years ago so I am happy to return.

Thanks for thinking of us! We got hit pretty hard around 12-1 am. The wind was intense. I was awake for awhile during it and our power flickered a lot but luckily never went out for good. I haven’t looked outside yet to see if there’s any damage. I’m guessing just tree branches here and there

Plan works. We stayed at sequoia but marvel is closer to parks by a little bit. Didn't do the to but did club and had breakfast which was great. Food in parks is pretty meh not sure I'd want to deal with the dp.

Train was easy, station is a couple block walk from ph. Lots of stairs. My TR talks about our trip, can't imagine the train part has changed much.

We were both glad to have the dlp bus after the flight so much easier when you're tired.

Did you just do ACH transfers from your primary bank account to get to 10 transactions? It sounds like a good way to earn 30K MRs and long as I don't have to spill the beans about my biz.

Is the only way to close a Kabbage checking account by calling? I tried amex chat and they just gave me a phone number.

How long have CICs typically been taking to arrive? I was just approved 2 days ago - but really want it for the no fee MC gift cards at staples starting 11/13.

SM and ask to have it expedited. My last one was 2 weeks, usually 10 days for me.
