I love credit cards so much! v6.0 - 2023 & 2024 (see first page for add'l details)

Thanks for the reminder. I had forgotten what the requirements had been for that Ally bonus so I looked it up again. I should be good to also move from Ally to Chase as well.

Yep, that looks just like mine. Good thing I have that account because I opened the 2 Chase accounts today and it wouldn't let me link my regular checking account to transfer money, said that account was already linked too many times? (It is linked to 6 Chase credit cards for payment I guess?) So I linked the Ally acct directly to the Chase savings acct for the transfer.

There is nowhere online for DH to change his bank account info for his automatic deposits so he will have to call the annuity company tomorrow. Yay.

I am sure this has been asked, but I can't seem to find the answer. If I purchase our WDW park tickets through Boardwalk Ticketing on my CSP, will it code as travel or entertainment? Last time I purchased our tickets through Undercover Tourist and I am pretty sure it coded as travel. On a side note, I wasn't pleased with Undercover Tourist regarding their price match policy. I submitted proof where I found the same exact WDW tickets I had purchased from them for a better price, but they never refunded me the difference as they claimed they would. So that was my one and only time to be their customer.

I just ordered from Boardwalk Ticketing last week and it coded as Entertainment on my CIC.

It depends if they are going to use the 4 upgraded boarding or the onboard WiFi credits $8 each device and the upgraded boardings are $50 from ISP to MCO so I went with the performance card

Thanks for posting about this. I didn't realize there were other benefits that differ among the cards.

The upgraded boarding and onboard WiFi are probably not as useful in this case (no kids, so no worries about needing to board early) but combined with the extra 30,000 points, the extra $100 AF might be worth it.

Our kids are grown so usually just DH and I flying..we like to use the upgrading boarding to grab the 2 seat exit row

On my past several Southwest flights, I was unable to get any upgraded boarding. Everything was sold out before I got to the airport and I was flying alone, so just one seat!

Dh and I have been looking and think we wanna stay at either the Tokyo Disneyland hotel or the MiraCosta. We can’t decide which one. Anyone here staying at one of these or did in the past? Last time we went we stayed at the Hilton

SW changed the way you can purchase upgraded boarding…now you can buy it at the 24 hour mark when you check in…much easier to use the credits

Last trip, we did TDH, MiraCosta, AND the Sheraton. It was way too much moving around lol. I thought the best thing about TDH was the lobby and the miniature houses (which anyone can go see). And the best thing about MiraCosta was our Venice view when the park was empty. We're late people and didn't even use the Happy 15. If I could go back in time, I would make the whole stay at the Sheraton. But it did fulfill my curiosity about staying at those hotels!

Were they hard to book at all? I’m leaning towards the MiraCosta or the Hilton again. We definitely would use the happy 15 though

I just logged into my Virgin account and while it says I still have the 200K points/miles that I transferred back in 2020, my "virtual membership card" says my membership expired in September 2022. Yikes.

Memory is fuzzy but I think the harbor view rooms are hard to get, but the Venice view rooms weren't that bad.

I already have a chase checking account so DH went for the $900 bonus.
Only he clicked “open checking account” opened an account then went to do the savings and realized there was a button to “open both” - so he clicked that one and now has two checking accounts and a savings account showing. Ugh! I told him to send his direct deposit to the second checking account - but really I’m not sure how this is going to work or what we should do? He’s so not going to want to call. Any advice?

He has 90 days so send a DD to one account and then send one to the other. If he can’t change the DD check the Doc DPs in the comments and see what (if any) fake DDs have worked (ach from other banks). If you have one of those bank accounts you could send a “DD” to the other checking account. Annoying to keep them both open but I wouldn’t trust customer service to close the correct one.

Just seems odd to me bc I put the exact same income and info on this one that I put for the card I have had for 3-4 years and didn’t have to provide any of this for that card.

Different banks have different triggers for extra checks and even the same bank can have different triggers at different times. If you want the card, you’ll have to give them the info.

You can try for A1-15 at 24 hours? I have a flight in March and I have AMEX platinum credits I need to use. I bought early bird but if I can get upgraded to A1-15 I’ll do that as well because this will be my only chance to use the credits.

Yes, I it changed a few months ago. When you check in online after you see your boarding pass will give you the option of buying the upgraded boarding…

We’ve stayed at both. If it’s one or the other I choose Miracosta. This is assuming you are going for a room where you can view Fantasmic. The first year we went we booked 2 nights at each one. The following year we also booked 2 nights each but had to bail before the Miracosta stay due to the incoming typhoon, so we cut that trip short. We will absolutely go again and will book a couple of nights at Miracosta again.

Please remind me- how do I do this again? Which of the SWA cards has this perk? I may get to use that soon

We would want 5-6 nights so might have to do a split stay with Disneyland to save money. Is miracosta worth it if you don’t get a view of fantasmic? I’m not sure how late ds will be staying up at that age
