I love credit cards so much!

I believe the newest Marriott card that just came out does not have the spend for nights. I did not upgrade my card because of that and I thought I might need to add a few nights to bump us to the next level.

Thanks I figured. Oh well....

Raise is generally the only discounted giftcard site I use. Never had an issue with them and their 365-day guarantee policy is hard to beat. Use the mobile app to checkout with PayPal.

Thanks, I’ve successfully used Raise before, but not the mobile app. Will give it a try now.

Wow slow weekend, everyone must be out enjoying weather, vacationing etc. It's way to early to be up and there's only two reasons I'm generally up this early travel or a run. At least it looks like the rain will hold off until after we're done, let's hope it doesn't move in early.

Happy Sunday!

I have been up for almost two hours because my dogs don’t think it’s necessary to sleep past dawn

Finished my SPG Personal MSR that I opened in mid-April, and the 30k SPG points have already posted!

CIC MSR is coming along nicely.

Looking for our next cards.

The CIU at 50k UR is an solid choice for Player 2.

But I keep getting tempted by the Hilton Biz before the 125k offer expires 6/27/18. And obviously, I'd want to refer DW for her own Hilton Biz to double up the bonus and have enough HH points to plan bigger. But that's a combined $10k MSR in 3 months! That's a stretch without shifting some Plastiq spend from my CIP to the Hilton Bizes, which would be a lost opportunity cost to earn 3x URs, and would push the CIU down the road. And I love me some URs.

I’m struggling with the using the Hilton card and not my CIP to earn URs too. I’m currently juggling MSRs on a CIP, CIC, and my Hilton biz. I’m planning to refer DH for the Hilton biz towards the end of the promo too. It’ll be tight, but those Hilton points will be worth it when I’m staying for free at the Hilton Tokyo Bay in 2020.

You've got some real churner's life problems there!

P.S. I'll probably go for the Hilton Biz and worry about how I'll meet the MSRs later. We can do it, I just don't like shifting spend that's otherwise optimized.

Yeah, that was a real First World Problems post right there Our Hilton spends will fall during our DL trip and our OK trip AND my work conference though. So we’ll be able to meet them, I’d just rather earn URs.

I’m also planning to get that same Barclay AA card @speedyfishy got, but that’s just 50k AA ankles for making a purchase in the first 90 days, so no big deal.

We were hanging board and batten wainscoting on our stairs yesterday. We do alot of DIY projects but this one was really awful. SO. MANY. ANGLES.

Are you up to travel then, or run. Hopefully travel.

There are always those gift card opportunities at Home Depot you can mix in with regular spend.

I wish I had trouble meeting MSRs. In reality I need to get another card or two since the Fall college tuition deadline is rapidly approaching.

50k AA ankles

Yes, 50k AA “ankles.” That’s exactly what I was trying to say, autocorrect. Well done.

I just figured the bonus was going towards more legroom.

Lol I wish I was that clever!!

Also, how sad am I that I was glad when my $520 vet bill came in last night for my horse (all expected, no emergencies here!). Not sure if the vet takes Amex since he’s a solo guy, but if not that will put me up to $3500 on my CIP.

I spent $407 at the vet this past week - Clint my Yorkie was $308 all by himself and Richard the cat was 'only' $99. And no spend to meet. I'm dying here.....

I put the $99 on my Hyatt card - trying to get the points up to 45000 for even redemption numbers - I have over 43000 after the spend and bonus.

Put the $308 on my SPG along with my Hamilton tickets - that's another 817 to be tripled Aug 1. Every little bit counts. I'll be collecting UR's very soon!

And since it's a slow posting night/morning, I had some kind of insomnia last night and couldn't sleep so trying to read and no one was posting!

I had to actually go looking for other Dis stuff to read and almost signed up for swag bucks, but somewhere in my mind I think I did it a long time ago and hated it, so not doing it.

I didn't like Swagbucks either, which kills me because that seems to be offering the best deal on Disney Gift Cards through Best Buy right now.

I can live with just getting discounts in other forms. Sometimes the best deals come at a price you don't want to pay. Or don't need to pay.

I've been doing it probably 6 weeks now. It is awful but I have $75 in free gift cards so I keep plugging along when I have spare time. I don't go out of my way to do it daily.

If I were to buy Home Depot gift cards with an Amex business card while doing a spend, would that be considered manufactured spending? I'm going to use Home Depot for a project but not right now. Lets say I bought about $2000 in Home Depot cards?
