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

Have you completed your stay? I also booked an AirBnB that hasn't credited, it's been a few weeks, but the stay is not until this summer so I wonder if I have to wait until then to see the statement credit.

The Airbnb charge has to show up on your card and then you should be credited. Mine took 2 days to credit.

FInally ordering from Away. Decided to get a medium in Coast (dd has a bigger carry on in Coast) and another bigger carry on in Asphalt for DS (or he can have my navy bigger carry on). I figure dd and I will take the medium and one bigger carry on to Europe for our cruise. Didn't realize you get $45 off for buying a set. Of course I have no closet space to store any of these suitcases!

Some of the Away suitcases nest for storage!

So about the BJ's deal. So my husband has the 20 off. I have the the 10. Do we really need to set up
TWO online 1 day accounts? Do you think I set up one and just order in 2 transactions?

You can set up one account and do multiple transactions - just change the payment method.

I'm hoping I can nest a bigger carry on in a medium checked bag. I still really don't have room for the medium checked bag, but I'll figure it out.

So sorry, that was a typo. Should have said June 3.

I am pretty sure the website says all carry-ons nest inside the medium.

All of you who posted positive comments about Away convinced me to give it a try. It's hard to pass up since I have the $200 credit offer and knock a little more off if I want with the PYB. I decided I wanted the bigger flex carry on, the medium, and the large everywhere bag. However, I only ordered the carry on and medium for now so I could get the $45 additional off for buying a set. If I like it, I will add the everywhere bag. Unfortunately, they didn't have navy medium in stock. I went ahead and ordered it in gray and will exchange it (unused) if I like the luggage.

Yep, the charge posted on 2/11. I went with the 'pay in full now' option when I made the booking. The way I read your previous post was that you had completed the actual stay and got the credit? Am I off on that?

@iujen94 did you see a credit on your Cap1 account yet?

Just saw on DoC that you can link your Delta and Instacart accounts to earn Delta points. This would earn me about 12k points annually- which is about a RT ticket to Mexico City in basic economy, so I'll take that just for doing my regular weekly grocery shopping.

Is it reporting 50% on your credit report? What’s the total utilization being reported? If you are under 20% it should be okay, but closer to 5% would be best.

My total utilization being reported is only 5%. My BoA balance is a little below 50% of the BoA CL. I think I will pay it down first.

You look to be fine with the 20% of Chase CL to income…assuming it’s under around $75k

I’ve never applied with a large balance on any card so no idea how they look at that…others may know

if you are applying as a SP business name is your first and last name..nothing else no EIN is your SS number…..if you have a P2 use their support link so they get the 20k support points

My Chase CL is well under $75k for my CSR & CSP. I am an AU on my husband's Disney Visa. Do I need to include that CL with my CSR & CSP CL's?

I think you quoted the wrong person but Doh! I will have to keep an eye on my return flight then. There are only two other flights that day, everything is completely sold out and the MCO Hyatt is booked that night so this might be interesting. I am 0/3 on SW trips not being impacted by these flight changes all well before the pandemic.

I booked the Airbnb for DLP on 12/19. The stay was for 12/20-12/21 and the charge showed up on 12/21. I was credited by cap one on 12/23. This was my first Airbnb booking.

Yes, availability is definitely a problem as well. We went from 2 nonstops a day to 1 nonstop and only 1 or 2 other realistic options. Then several ridiculous choices which turn the 2 hr nonstop into a 6+ hr odyssey. However, SW is still the best option for me because of the CP and pts. I just have to plan ahead.

I changed my internet to My SW card for dbl points while I’m working on my cp. however our internet is thru our electric company (we live in the country and it’s the only fiber optic option) so it coded as utilities not internet. Is there a way around that or am I just beat? The internet/cable part of that is 250/mo so I’d like the extra points lol

This doesn't completely answer your question but our internet is through our electric company and I use the VGC's at Staples to pay it. At least that way I get 5X UR's.

I know SW has been getting a lot of heat on here right now with the schedules changes but so far they have been good to us. This trip our flight Thursday night left over 3 hours late (most of that time being on the plane) due to maintenance issues and the pilot timing out. Luckily we still made it out and I woke up Friday morning with an email with $100 vouchers for each of us due to the issue. I've never had an airline proactively reach out like that. I was supervised, usually you have to complain.

I really need a Visa gift card deal. I got spoiled doing $6200 in January.

I am also ready for another deal. It is time to bolster my Disney gift card stash.

 

[Babars_Wife]

What do we think is the easiest currency to accumulate fastest that I can use for flights to get from BWI to Athens spring break 2023. I have to do 4 people so economy is fine. Relevant information might be I have a P2, we do biz credit cards and we’re both under 5/24. Chase business and use UR?

No you don’t need to include DHs CL

I'm waiting for some also, but far less than 6200 will make me happy!

Nope - still no credit. I’m going to give it another week and get DH to call. I haven’t completed my stay yet, but I paid in full - I don’t think CapOne has any way of knowing when your stay is, so I can’t imagine you have to wait for your stay to get the credit.

I checked reddit and dps seem to range from 2-20 days - the 20 day was from a post 14 days ago, with no follow up from that poster so I don't know how long that one actually is. I put in that part about completing the stay, because with cash back portals I only get the cash back after I've completed the stay, but then again I've never booked a prepaid stay through a portal so it's not a perfect comparison.

I've also done a purchase through the Cap1 offers page and haven't seen the statement credit from that either, but the fine print says it can take 2-3 billing cycles.

Amex is much better about posting credits in a timely manner compared to Chase, BoA, and Cap1 from what I've experienced so far.
