I love credit cards so much!

[thevalley]

So while I am eating dinner I get a knock at the door and it’s the UPS MAN!!!! He has my new card lol. Off to see what I can do.

What do you think is the best strategy/most likely to be approved for both SW cards? Try to double dip at 4/24, or apply for one at 4/24, then wait for another card to drop off?

Apps in the last two years: 4/16 Barclay Choice Hotels, 7/16 Amex Hilton, 2/17 BofA Merrill, 4/17 Amex SPG. Last Chase card was 3/16.

Going to try and get it now for my dh (these are his cards) and then I'll go for it beginning of 2019. Do you think it's be okay to do one in April and one in May? Or June?

Hmmmm - tough call. If you were going to do April and May - might as well double dip. Do you plan to knock off the MSR that quickly? Perhaps go for one now (so it registers as Mar) and then do one in May or June (maybe even better)

I just checked but couldn't find a link for plastiq. does that not have working links

Is there a list of grocery stores that you can buy these VGC's at with a credit card?

Buying VGCs with a credit card is the easy part. Most stores allow it. Those that don’t or have limits will usually have signs up or tell you at the register, then it’s just a wasted trip. The post office is definitely cash or debit only. The hard part is finding a way to liquidate the VGCs in the form of a MO. And setting up an account at a bank you don’t care about to deposit those MOs. Because you definitely don’t want to deposit large volumes of MOs at Chase.

OMG are those all yours?? Good point in the dummy bank account for MOs. I have PNC and WellsFargo that I got for a bonus that I have been using and trying to spread it out. Wellsfargo allows 3k a month in mobile deposits.

heh, my friends box... mines not even half that box. I used Wells Fargo as my burner account. i did about 3.6k per week.

Check the MISC links thread.

The DisChurners links? I checked mine a couple days ago and it was active.

ETA: Look for them in the MISC Links thread, like @Lain said.

I'm super sad that my husband bought a new phone but to get the deal they were offering you had to finance through the Google Store. I wasn't really aware of that part when I gave the OK--here I was thinking I could put it on my SPG. I should have known what was up when he asked me what his SS# was. I looked today and saw the terms--opening a credit card with Synchrony bank. I don't think he realized what exactly the Google financing setup was. I may have brought up my disappointment in the loss of that MSR. His response? "Can't you do your money order thing to pay it?" . I guess he is listening when I ramble on about my CC's.

I mean the man buys nothing in life so I really need to not complain but can you all just let me mourn the loss of a 5/24 slot?

Do you just MS for MSR or are you MSing for profit or status?

Giant allows it with a manager override. You can get them online at GiftCardMall with your name on them if you aren’t worried about mail fraud.

How does the pin setup work. I am going to purchase one at the giftcardmall and throw a pic of the family on it so it looks more legit. Does it come with a pin?

i was MSin with SPG personal and my Citi TYP pt with Simons mall.
I MS with Ink+ with Staples.
it got too much work because i had to stop by at least 5 walmarts to change them into MOs.
I had no MSR to reach at that time, i did about 4-5 months of it. MS for points/profit?

Pouring one out for a 5/24 slot.

Bought my Delta GC. That counts towards MSR right?

Waiting to take Dude to the vet for his ear. At least the office visit is covered since I signed him up for their paw plans things to help keep the cost of the teeth cleaning/extraction down. Have a feeling we'll be coming home with a cone of shame to get him to stop scratching the ear. Also hoping they take amex so I can get a little more of the MSR done.

I considered that but it seems like it would be *really* easy for the Amex RATS to figure out what your up to . But buying $5xx.xx in "groceries" every week OTOH...

[thevalley]

need help, if I change the business category on plastiq to other and write in mortgage as the specified category, is that alright? usually It was rent/ real estate.

If it’s a Metabank it should be the last four digits of the card number. Also go through a cashback portal I think ebates is giving 1% back.
