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

I have a question about Global Entry eligibility. If someone (not me) had a misdemeanor on their record from 20+ years ago, would that make them be denied for GE?

I think the Tripadvisor forum might have some detailed posts about this. It may be a problem. The application asks questions about like if you've ever been arrested or charged. My understanding is that if you aren't approved, you can send in additional details explaining the situation. I know someone who wasn't approved (caught with a joint), but they didn't go through the steps to have it reconsidered. Same person had no issues with getting approval for TSAPrecheck. If one decides to pursue GE, I think providing as much info as possible about the misdemeanor is advisable.

I am right now pricing RCCL cruises - I want your offer! what card is yours on? maybe my offer is coming tomorrow...

Had it on plat, biz green and AU plat (which is gold). I hope you get it!! I wish there was a way to share or swap offers!

You are right. FYI, it wasn't anything major - just being young and dumb all those years ago and have never been in trouble again (not alcohol related). I tried to find the answer, but it just didn't seem clear to me in the FAQ so I just thought maybe someone here might know. I don't even know if stuff that like is on your record forever or if it eventually comes off. Someone just asked me if I knew because they know I like to be "in the know" when it comes to traveling stuff, and I tried to find out for them. lol

I have a relative that works for a non-profit helping people do this sort of thing (expunging criminal records, restoring voting rights) and the rules vary by jurisdiction. From what I understand, most states have certain procedures that are more or less straightforward. But I don't think convictions just automatically drop off your record, unless it was a special kind of conviction, like from juvenile court. Not sure how close your relationship is with your friend but perhaps something to suggest. After 20 years with no further problems, there shouldn't be any trouble getting the conviction expunged.

I almost always book SW flights with points, but DH has some unused travel funds (I think from AmEx flight credits). They will cover most of the flight I'm wanting to book.

If I use those and finish the spend with a gift card, if the price goes down or I have to change the flight, will I get it all back again as flight credits? And do those not expire now?

Thanks!

Ugh. I was multitasking with a kid and SM'd Chase to close a card, but I asked to close the wrong card. Will they confirm before closing? It's a CIP that's not quite at a year yet. I know better than to do these things when a kid is next to me, but I was trying to finish up. I suppose I can always ask them to reopen it?

I'm waiting for a purchase to post so I can sm back regarding P2's UR match on CIU (8/29).
I got the match on my CIC (7/3).
Waiting to hear about another CIU (5/27).

A question for all the people getting matched to the higher 90k UR offer - did you use a support link for your application? Or are these matches coming to those who applied directly with Chase?

 

[wanderlust7]

I'm very tempted to try for the CIU with the 90K UR SUB. Are there links on dischurners with this offer?

It's not a public offer, though I'm hoping eventually it will be. Right now you can only get it in branch or with a leaked link (which I'd be hesitant to use). Or you can apply for the regular 75k offer and then ask to be matched, but no guarantees that will work.

I used a support link. I would think more did than not.

Not sure if they always do this, but they might call you to confirm. It's not Amex, so I wouldn't worry too much.

I used a support link too.

If you are seeing the price per night go UP on 3 nights as opposed to 4, then they are likely accounting for the 4th night free. I just checked and mine works fine. You'll never see the 4th night look "free". They adjust the points per night to make it free. So for example, if it's 40K points a night for 4 nights, then you'll see it as 30,000K charged each night (saving you 10K per night x 4 nights = 40,000 nt free). I hope that makes sense.

ETA: my math may be wrong on this, but you should get the point, lol.

So maybe this is what I'm not seeing..... each night is a different points amount.Each dummy booking,nights remain the same amount.
***example **- I input 1 night=21k,2 nights=21+36k,3 nights=21+36+37k,4 nights=21+36+37+35k,5 nights=21+36+37+35+30k.
No matter how I configure dates, each of those nights remains the same points cost. no discount for 4th night,no change in points amount needed per nigh if I book 4 nights, or 4 1 night bookings.

A small win got park Hyatt Chicago on points for next year then got upgraded to the Chicago something or other suite with my SNA. Then I was able to book our DL trip upgraded for the LA portion (this hasn't been posted yet I'm going to do a follow-up call after work) but 1 bedroom suite with a bath. I tried to do it for park Hyatt NYC it wasn't available and it didn't seem like much of an upgrade. I was checking the Hyatt app before we went to bed to see if it posted and DW looked at me like I had 2 heads saying I was going to call them now.

Sooooo...... I think I may have figured out my IHG problem (duh) but not my bro's problem.... I forgot I had canceled my IHG cc with the $89 fee (had to make some cutbacks this year) so I only hold the old $49 select cc...... I don't think the 4th night free applies with this card, right? So that explains why I can't get it to work, but not my bro who has the newer cc offers with the $89 fee cc......

 

[smallsy]

DH got a mail offer for 150K amex plat. Can I still refer him or will the offer with my link likely be less?

 

[NewbieMom]

After seeing all the dp's for the match, I got the courage to SM chase for a cic from back in early July. Got denied. This is the message they sent. Has anyone gotten a match from that far back?

"Thank you for contacting us. [Name], your account is not eligible for the new offer you requested. We appreciate you being a Chase customer."

I did use a support link

 

[iujen94]

Has anyone applied for the Ink 90k offer? (Not matched to it, but applied for it from the get-go.) Is there a way to apply for it other than using the link that’s been floating around on Doctor of Credit and some other sites?

Applied for SW biz yesterday. 2 week message this morning. Fingers crossed!

I used SM a few weeks ago to close a personal card. Done boom. It took about 1 day. No communication other than a SM reply after it was done. I'd recommend being proactive about it and reaching out.

One more question about the AMEX FHR $200 credit. DW and I just booked a FHR with points. We want to book the same hotel around Christmas time. Can we get the credit and all other FHR benefits if we partially pay with points and then pay $200 on our card? I want to try and get the credit while using as few points as possible.

They may call you, they called me when I sent a secure message to close my SW card, but never did when I closed the CIC

There are reports people have on Reddit and doctor of credit

Makes sense. I sent you a DM showing the breakdown of those points per night. IDK if you can have the old select cc and app for a new personal card. But I know for sure you can get the biz card. $99 fee and has the FNC and fourth night free benefit.

Did your brother recently get an IHG card with the fourth night free benefit? It usually takes a week or two for this benefit to kick in while Chase and IHG sync things up.
