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

r/churning says they are sold by launch so most likely won't work.

No idea what I'm going to use it for. This credit is by calendar year correct?

That’s what it looked like to me. First one has to be redeemed by 12/31 was what I thought I was seeing.

tickets for broadway show were $150 more on stub hub (3 tickets) than thru theatre! and couldn't pick seats, just row. even with tcb 8% not worth it. I guess if I don't get Bon Jovi tickets tomorrow I'll try to use them!

but I did sign up for apple tv

I did my Apple TV sign up too. Watching stiller & meara.

Paid my property taxes with visa gift cards this morning. First three I could do online. The other nine I had to do over the phone and got hung up on after every three cards. Massive pain in the butt but worth it for 11,000 urs for 30 minutes of my time.

Instant approval for SW Biz Performance. CP: here we go again!

ETA: this is for DH. He just closed a 1 yr old CIC about a week and a half ago. He still has 2 biz cards open, United Biz (opened February) and CIC (opened July).

That's what I thought. I'll wait til closer to the end of December then, hopefully I can get decently priced baseball tickets. There's no shows this season I want to see.

But with all the hotel credits maybe I need to see what's in Portland and make a weekend of it.

Rebooked an edit hotel for our upcoming trip to Vegas with the new CSR benefits today. Booked tickets to see Donny Osmond through Stubhub. I have been wanting to go for awhile, but my DH didn't really want to go and we ended up going to see U2 at the sphere last trip. We are going with our daughters this trip, so I convinced them to go with me. I don't like that we can't pick seats through Stubhub, but I will deal with it for the savings. Signed up for Dashpass. Still need to sign up for Apple Tv. Busy Sunday afternoon!

For Stub Hub, can you use the 2025 credit to buy tickets for an event that occurs in 2026 or does it have to be something this year?

You can book for next year, the charge just needs to hit your account this year

We have both Total and Visible.

They are both owned by Verizon.

Visible doesn’t have stores and only has chat support which isn’t the greatest but they are one of the only prepaid providers that supports Apple Watch as we don’t allow DS to bring a phone to school.

Total Wireless does have stores. This is one of the straight talk brands that was renamed slightly when Verizon purchased straight talk.

Pretty satisfied with TW so far. We buy our phones outright and TW had a 50% off plans when porting your #. I pay $35 for Unlimited everything and Disney+ and Hulu with no ads. Plan is $30 which includes Disney+ with no ads but before switching to TW I started the D+/Hulu no ads bundle which is $19.99. The plan pays the $15 for D+ and then I just pay the $5 extra for Hulu portion.

Chase and Amex have offered several offers of 25-35% back so I have been able to apply the max offer to my wallet bringing my costs down significantly.

@hsmamato2 We have had Visible for at least 7 years or more and have lived in 2 states and traveled many states. Very happy and have never had any problems with Visible. I had Mint for 1 month prior to going to Visible and didn’t like it.

Has anyone been to Brussels? Any recommendations on hotels/things to do? Is 1 week too long? I've heard there's not too much to do, so we might be bored staying a full week.

We used points to stay at the Hilton Brussels Grand Place and got upgraded to a room with lounge access as Gold members. We had a pretty extensive list of day trips by train that would easily fill a week. Bruges, Ghent, Antwerp, Leuven, Mechelen, Liege, and even Aachen, Germany or Lille, France were all reasonable distances. And the hotel was in a great location just a couple minutes walk to Brussels Central to make catching the train easy.

DH's new SW Biz card has a due date of Dec 22. I want more time in December to make purchases that will count toward 2026/27 CP, so should we ask for an earlier due date?

I worry that if I ask for, say, the third of the month, we won't get the first statement until early January! That shouldn't happen, right?
