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

Hmm boo, well the points will be nice!

You can try asking the desk when you check in, but I know at SEA you print your own tag so pay at that point if you didn't when you check in online.

It's one of the reasons I don't like their card/program as much. Most flights it makes more sense to use my csr for the insurance or a card that has flight credit. Part of why I've been flying DL more, but I still just got an AS biz since their points can be useful.

question - I booked AA flights thru Atmos using points, on one of the flights I forgot to input a known traveler # (series of one ways) which airline do I call to attach the number to that ticket?

I always contact AA via chat

I'm still thinking about the AA cc being switched over to Citi... What if I app for the basic Citi AA cc now,before my one year even comes due? I can always use those

There's nothing that prevents you from holding the Barclays AA and a Citi AA card at the same time. Right now, I hold a Barclays Aviator Red (my year is up in January, so I'll cancel then) and the new Citi Globe card which I got in October. Just as long as your pacing with Citi is ok. I believe the AA cards are every 4 years. Personally, I don't want my Barclays card to convert to a Citi card and possibly prevent me from app'ing for a new Citi card down the road or restart my clock, etc. so I'll be cancelling as soon as I can.

The Platinum Select SUB isn't great right now (it's been up to 80K in the past). However, with the recent addition of the new cards like the Globe and Strata Elite, the current SUB of 50k on the Platinum Select may be the new norm.

I received an email from American Express saying that they increased my credit limit. I had not asked them to do that. I didn't need an increase on that card. If I have a big expense, I wouldn't put it on that card.

Is this normal? I checked on the website and my credit limit has, in fact, been increased, so it doesn't appear that the email was spam.

It's normal. Amex will also automatically decrease CL in order to approve a new card if necessary.

Got DH's missing support points. Only took 1 SM this time (and 8 days). Oddly, no SM that the points were given, I just happened to see it.

Yes, they've done that to me, especially when I was running up the bill. You can have it reduced to what you want by calling.

I noticed that both my IHG and IHG Biz cards have 10% off airline tickets - Earn 10% cash back on your Airline category purchase when you spend $499.99 or more, including taxes and after any discounts, with a $50 cash back maximum. To take advantage, activate your offer and make a purchase by 12/31/2025.

Hope that helps someone!

I did the AA 80k/1k offer....IA! For those familiar with Citi apps, how hard is it to get approval? I want to rec. to a friend, not sure if they're really strict ......

I think Citi is inquiry sensitive, but other than that, we've never had a problem with them. We do the Platinum Select every 4 years between DH and I, and then we hold the Double/Custom Cash duo long-term. Adding the Globe into the mix now too, probably the Strata Elite next year as well. I just typically wait until I'm 0/6 for inquiries...

Autoslash- I've never actually used their offers before, but seeing a big difference in my Costco res. vs what they've found- but I find the actual terms on site confusing, they ask for a cc at booking, and the cancellation terms seem unclear- anyone have any experience with this?

I use Autoslash all the time. I never give a cc upfront. Once you look at the options there are some that require cc upfront and others that say "pay later." I always select pay later, and have cancelled no problem.

ETA: Autoslash brings me to priceline where the actual booking takes place.

Some options say "Pay later with Autoslash." I usually don't choose them as they are usually lesser-known companies and do not have good reviews.

Anybody else bite on the capital one offer for 50k miles for 1,000 purchase at undercover tourist? Check you capital one offers in your account!

Thank you so much for posting about this!! It showed up in my account, disappeared, and then showed up again a couple days later. I was able to buy our Universal tickets and already got the email about our pending points. I never would have looked without this post.
