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

[CyndiLouWho]

Thank you both! I haven’t checked the Reddit referral links yet, but would you say 60,000 SUB miles/points is a good time to apply for either of these cards? That’s what I’m seeing online. Idk if the referral links will offer anything different.

Also, I’m guessing I’ll wind up with 70,000 miles/points once the spend has hit. Am I right in thinking that will give me about $1200 to spend on Disney tickets?

The TYP would be $600 for 60k SUB (plus spend) but they just use actual Disney prices, so whatever current cash price is. 60 k is not an all time high for Citi Premier.
As for CapOne I think the new card has other benefits but can't say, haven't researched that one. It would let you use Undercover Tourist to buy tickets and those sell at less than face value (though, like I said, I'm mad at UCT currently). Or you could do both if you have enough spend or a P2

How do you get everyone’s RR number to populate when making a book grouping? I can only ever get it to populate my info. That would save me so much copy and pasting!

Just noticed this the other day, there's a banner that says "New- Frequent Traveler" under your profile. You can add travelers there. Agreed, this will save me a ton of time.

ETA: You can't add passport info, but you can add known traveler numbers and RR#s.

Thanks! I didn’t even notice this! This will save me so much time from copy and pasting DH’s KTN and RR number. I mean, it’s not one of life’s great hardships, but just gets rid of an annoyance for me

Honestly I have no idea. I put it in once (the 1st time I booked). Then everytime after that I've just booked as normal. I don't put the # in each time. Just the names and Dob, and the RR # shows up after I hit continue and is in the confirmation.

This is fantastic! Thanks for this tip

Ummm, I was just checking my emails and it seems I had put an ATT offer on my CSR (which I changed to the Freedom Flex last month). It was for ATT Fiber which I didn't see at the time. I paid my cellphone bill w/ the CFF in Feb (for the coverage). Imagine the SHOCK to see a $100 credit on my chase statement for redeeming the ATT Fiber offer! Not sure if Chase will claw it back. But if they don't....WOOOOHOOOOO!

Also WWYD, apparently 6 mos ago when we put rooms on hold for the hockey tournament I put the charge onto my CSR. When I got to the hotel, I gave them my Amex Surpass, which is where I want the charges (for the $8k spend). Both cards show pending charges. Should I wait and see which hotel the charges post? Do you think they will switch the billing if it's on the CSR (which is now my CFF)? I really want the spend on the Surpass as it's about $500!

Wow, I've never had Chase send both the biz and the employee cards before, UPS. Very nice! Just in time for the "employee" to go out of town on Friday

Is there any benefit in creating SW RR numbers for my kiddos (ages 2-11) who will be flying exclusively on RR points for the next few trips? One of the kids will be P2's companion if it makes any difference.

If something happens that would give points as compensation they would automatically receive them. Sometimes in case of mechanical issues they give everyone 500 or 1,000 points. Points never expires so if they're going to eventually get tickets paid for with cash then the kids would receive them and have them forever.

I have RR numbers for all my kids. There may not be an advantage when paying with points, but I feel like you never know when you might end up paying with a LUV voucher or a gift card or even cash if it comes down to it. I recently transferred points out of my kids accounts and they each had about 6k points- so it wasn't a lot, but worth more than nothing.

*Points can be earned from qualifying flights, including flights booked and flown through Southwest and flights paid entirely with dollars, Southwest LUV Vouchers, gift cards or travel funds, and with no portion of the purchase price paid for with Rapid Rewards points.

Last year I finally created a tab in my cc spreadsheet that has all of our known traveler ids, passport/expirations, and loyalty program numbers. It has made booking travel much, much easier.

How do you get everyone’s RR number to populate when making a book grouping? I can only ever get it to populate my info. That would save me so much copy and pasting!

Was just coming to say that last week SW started offering to save others' information so you can book faster. I haven't spent the time to set it up yet, but will sometime this week. I see others beat me to it.

I Know this has been been discussed before, but what app do you use for budgeting/tracking? I still use Dave Ramsey's Everydollar App, it is easy to use and I like the way the budget part is set up. But I'm trying to figure out if there are better options. I never liked YNAB, I just couldn't figure it out.

I use Mint.com - I only use it for tracking, so I don't know anything about their budgeting feature, but when you get all of your accounts set up, I find it pretty easy and straightforward to use.

Chase 10% on ShopDisney: has anyone seen this released twice in February?

I got it on my SW card, activated, used 2/7. I got the $5 credit and see it when I look at my redeemed offers. Looking at Chase offers this AM (2/23) and it's showing available until 3/18.

Do you think this is just an error and it's showing the used offer still in my active? Or did it just drop twice very close together? I don't want to use it again and not have the credit go through if this is the offer I already used. And, I know everyone gets slightly different offers, but thought maybe sometime else here specifically remembers it returning quickly.

ETA: Both the Added and Redeemed offers have a 3/18 expiration date, which doesn't seem right. But, the BJs offer I redeemed has properly fallen out of the Added section, so I don't know why this wouldn't.

I use Everydollar. Haven't tried anything else so have nothing to compare it to. But I like the simiplicity of Everydollar so never had a reason to look for another.

A month or two ago, I had the Shopdisney on my CSP and maybe my BOA debit and I noticed this too. I couldn't remember the original dates so I never used it again, not knowing if it was a new offer or not.

I’m pretty sure I very recently had ShopDisney show up twice in my offers, with the second one showing up just after I use the first one. Pretty sure it is still there now (just too lazy to check my 12 Chase accounts )

Mine are doing the same thing….
I had this happen also in October/November used the 10% off shopdisney….then noticed it again…..used it a few weeks later and never received the 10% back ….sent Chase a SM and they told me I had used the offer and even though it was showing as an offer…it was the same one I had redeemed

The ShopDisney offer date changes for some reason...it's done that on my accounts for a while. The first time I noticed it, I used it again and it did not credit.

Thanks, all. I won't try using it again. I really appreciate the speedy responses!!

This. I've seen this a bunch of times. The offer stays until it's expiry date and will not pay out. Especially frustrating when it's McDonald's, Chipotle or Starbucks and I only spend $5 or $10 and get 50cents to a dollar of the offer, not the whole 2,3 or 4$.

If I book two SW tickets together and the taxes are $96 each, will that be sent to Amex as (2) $96 transactions or (1) $192 transaction?
I ask bc of airline incidental credits.

I don’t know for sure on AMEX, but on other cards, my SW taxes (usually $5.60) all post as separate transactions.

I can’t even get my chase offers to show up! They disappeared last week!
