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

In contrast, I've read that the United Explorer club passes get removed pretty soon after canceling.

In contrast, I had a United card in 2018, cancelled in 2019. It still shows I’m a cardmember when I login, and I get free baggage and it gives me discounted card member rates when I search for flights. I’ve used the free baggage successfully on a flight recently. I’m not complaining, lol.

Hi all! It’s been awhile, but I’m back and hoping for some expert help. The Citi Strata Elite now has the 100k offer on the Citi website - I applied and got approved last night. I’ve heard rumblings of a double dip possibility with Citi cards, but I haven’t been able to find good specifics anywhere - hoping someone here can shed some light on the exact timing, etc? Feel free to PM me if that’s a better way to share details!

Love reading all the tips.

Has everyone set up their new Atmos account? All of my Alaska miles are gone since I did so. I gave it a week to see if they just got stuck in purgatory during the transition but they are still not there. Did I miss a step? Were we supposed to do something special to get those transferred? I really need to book a trip and I can't find the miles!

Did you have an Alaska mileage account before?

I didn't have to do anything with mine, it changed over on its own. My login and balance are the same. Only thing that changed is I like their app less because od how they changed the login part.

I didnt have Alaska before only Hawaiian and it had me create a new login, it issued me a new Atmos account # and all my miles etc transferred over right away.

I think it depends on a lot of things like the card issuerer, the airline/hotel, and the timing. DH downgraded a Brilliant mid January, but he kept Platinum status over a year after. Marriott status gets checked in February. So I think the info didn't get over that first Feb after downgrading, so he didn't lose it until the next Feb check.

In contrast, I've read that the United Explorer club passes get removed pretty soon after canceling.

Thank you. After doing a bit of searching it looks like IHG updates status in January. I have a stay booked in December using DW's FNC and just wanted to be sure we would still be able to get the status benefits.

For those that fly SW they are opening the schedule tomorrow 10/9 to book flights through 8/3

So, I have a CSP and P2 has the CSR...

I normally use my URs at Hyatt. Should I go ahead and combine all our URs to P2's CSR (just in case) and only move them back to my CSP if I need them to book Hyatt?

I forgot that I have the BizCSR. Should I combine all my URs to my BizCSR instead of transferring them to P2's CSR?

I think I am starting to over think things! Lol.

I don't think any of this applies to the CSR biz because the card started after the changes.

Is there an end date for the elevated SW Performance SUB of 120K? I like being able to earn the CP with one card, DH did that with the other SW Biz card 2 years ago. But I'm at 5/24 until November (thanks Atmos Summit and Citi Strata Elite, lol).

Fantastic! So glad you have things in motion. Yes Portree is super popular in the summer and books quickly. I have stayed at The Rosedale twice. It’s quirky and was originally 3 separate fishing cottages that are now combined. There is no elevator so be aware of that if there are mobility issues. I’d send an email if it looks like they are booked out just in case. The online booking is a bit janky.

I have also stayed at Cuillin Hills Hotel which is lovely but expensive. If you have an evening on your own definitely recommend at least booking dinner reservations there.

We are planning to fly to Edinburgh from Paris after DLP and then doing a 3 day tour with Rabbies while there to Isle of Skye. I should be able to find hotels in Edinburgh, as there are plenty to choose here.

The Rabbies tour we are looking at will overnight in Portree for 2 nights and does not include accommodations but they can make reservations for them for us and then we will pay the hotel or B&B directly. I looked in June and accommodation availability is scarce already in Portree.

Can I ask where you stayed? I'd rather pay more to choose my own lodgings but will go through the tour company if we have no other options.

We thought about the 4-5 day tours and I was getting tired thinking about the hours in the vehicle. I didn't want travel burn out. We have port intensive cruises before and after Scotland. If we love it, we will be back I think,

Thanks for any recommendations!

One more response to @SleepyatDVC and quoting myself. I forgot that we also stayed at The Broadford on our 2017 visit in Skye. It's the original home of Drambuie. That was also a nice stay but we were only there for one night. They are quite a distance from the Rosedale and Portree harbor area though
