I love credit cards so much! v7.0 - 2025 (see first page for add'l details)

I looked at Come Alive! and I really want to try to catch this while we are in London. Where is the best place to sit?

I found a matinee on a Friday that was selling seats in the VIP section (Empress) WITHOUT the VIP privileges for 80 pounds per person. It was 4 rows back in D. I wonder if that was a glitch? Because the same row D in the other sections were 112 pounds each.

They giving folks a discount in that section because the VIPs will be drinking and eating around them when they won't be able to?

None of the other showings that weekend, have non-VIP tickets being sold in the Empress section... (ETA: the Wednesday and Thursday evening showings previous to the Friday matinee, also have non-VIP seat tickets in the VIP section - DH thinks that the secondary cast is scheduled for those performances. Is that a thing? Seems like a plausible scenario.)

If this is a good deal, I will snag the tickets and then work my Scotland and London itinerary around it.

ETA: I take that back - there ARE other seats that are sold as NON-VIP in the Empress section sprinkled throughout various showing, just none as good as the D13/14 seats for 80 pounds I found for a particular Fri matinee showing.

No idea to be honest. We are in Blue C14 and 15 which were close enough and on an aisle. Your seats sound good to me especially the price!

ANY help on trip planning those 18 days from 5/26/2026 to 6/14/2026 would be very much appreciated! It is currently still a blank page. Let me know if you need any more information.

The website keeps crashing on my phone and I keep losing what I am writing! Just chiming in with some quick notes about London hotels- I took my 82yo mom there for her birthday in February, and it was my first foray into points. We spent one night each at Hyatt Place Heathrow, Great Scotland Yard, Park Hyatt, and two nights at Hilton Canary Wharf. The PH stay with a GOH inspired me to go for globalist status this year and I have basically been on a Hyatt tour of Asia. I’m also doing a night at PH and Louvre in Paris next summer (I do one night each on purpose to try different properties). We didn’t do a lot of the touristy activities since we had both done London a few times before, but we did an afternoon tea each day and had a great time with different styles of that. We also took a day trip to Pooh Corner because we are both big fans.

A few more thoughts on this. I agree with @AJruns on doing tea in London. We did one last year with my niece at the Savoy and it was outstanding. I will also highly recommend ABBA Voyage if you happen to be a fan of their music. It was amazing! We have seen the show twice and I would absolutely go again.

Ugh. Missed the 80,000 Citi AA card offer because DH was waffling between United & AA for his next card. There's a 75,000 biz offer, but he had the card before and I made the last payment on that on 12/1/21, so not quite 48 months yet, assuming he got the bonus in November. Wish I had paid more attention last week!

After lowering credit limits across personal and business, closing to make sure I only had two biz cards, and waiting a week, it was an automatic denial for my CIC this morning. Whomp Whomp. Going to try for P2 for tomorrow, but not hopeful. It's a bummer as I was hoping to take advantage of one more referral and the elevated SUB. Our UR stash is really puny.

I guess they do read your comments ! Thrifty traveler made a mega spreadsheet.

That’s frustrating, have you been using the 2 business that are open ?

CIU instant approvals for me and DH. Stats are similar. 2 open Chase biz cards, third one canceled about a month ago. Since the changes, I close a few days after a year is up. We don't use the cards past MSR.

DH got $15k CL while I got the usual $6000. I suspect Chase is sexist lol.

LOL, dh got $16k yesterday. Oh but my most recent was $15k

I just got denied for the "too many requests for credit" reason as well. I'm 4/24 with 1 biz card open so thought I would be clear. I'll wait a little and try an app for DH before support ends. He's also 4/24 but with 2 biz cards open so I'm not sure we'll be able to get another ink!

Quoting myself as DH app this morning (same exact biz rev/spend, but he has 2 open inks) and got instant approval!

Don't lose hope. See my stat above.

I agree! But glad you at least got an approval.
