I love credit cards so much!

Also supposed to be an amazon business Amex in the works. I find that less exciting though.

Update on the Delta cards seen from the same link:
"Small update: The American Express branding is the old design. In addition it looks like these were added/updated on June 9, 2017. Obviously still possible that American Express plan to add Delta charge cards at some stage, but seems unlikely to be anytime soon. None of my regular sources have heard anything about a Delta charge card either."

@disneymagicgirl Barclays biz card doesn't show on personal but it does show a hard inquiry. DH was approved instantly, I always get a call for identity verification. That part took a while as they sent a letter and then I had to call in. But they approved me over the phone. Best thing! 50k miles for a single purchase.

ETA: both DH and I have "biz" not business.

Oh, I thought this offer expired.

Do I need AA points? I don’t think so...but this seems like a good deal...

ETA: Actually, I have a long term goal of Japan and this could definitely help me with that...off to research...

Hoping you get in to relax, eat and drink a little.

I always find navigating lounges easier when traveling lite. At SFO, the Centurion Lounge is in Terminal 3, but the terminals are not connected airside. It’s convenient when flying on United through Terminal 3, but not so much on other airlines in other terminals because you’ll need to pass through security twice. TSA Precheck helps speed through security. When flying Southwest out of Terminal 1, Southwest has a similar policy of not accepting check-in baggage until 4 hours before departure. And if you have checked-in luggage upon arrival, it’s hard to enjoy a quick break in the lounge even if it’s right there because you’re rushing to pick up your bags.

I would love to not check bags but it seems like we can't get away from it if traveling to..... Well anywhere more than 4 days or so. It might be doable when the kids are a bit bigger and able to carry more of their own stuff. I tried it one time going solo with the kids to AK. NEVER Again. Lol. That was the trip that made me decide I needed precheck, needed to never go out of SEA again, and needed to check bags until kids can carry them the entire time. I just wish I didn't forget that the baggage counters are empty when planning my early arrivals.. This makes the second time I've done that!

That sucks, but you're there now and hopefully the rest of the trip makes up for it!

I'm there AND IN THE LOUNGE! I've had a drink (soon to be two ) , we've all eaten, and we still have another 40 minutes to soak in the peace and quiet. In the spirit of keeping it peaceful in here I did tell DD6 they will kick us out if we are noisy so she has been shushing me if I speak in anything other than a whisper.

Also I'm on mobile so forgive the typos and drastic under use of appropriate emojis.

Thanks for the update. I just saw that from Doctor of Credit too and was going to post. I can’t bring myself to like your post though (no offense). I am legitimately sad. They may be skypesos but when you are a Delta hostage you beg for scraps!

Yikes!
I was feeling optimistic after a quick disboards transportation board search. Sounds like a frontier/spirit situation.
Ugghh, guess I will have to do the 14k each way for Southwest. Maybe they will drop them at some point.

I flew Sun Country once. Way worse than Frontier, and if you have ever read anything I have written about Frontier, you know I am no fan of Frontier. I've not flown Spirit so no comment there.

 

[gottalovepluto]

It was a mistake! lol I’m about 9k in right now.

Hahaha, keeping your budget straight with all the MS sounds terrifying. I hope you get some extra awesome redemptions out of it!!

I was so excited for you; I read the post on DoC and my first thought was literally “our DL hostage is going to be so excited!” Very sad

Now I must know of their offenses!

We've only done Frontier but it was pretty terrible and enough to make me refuse to even try Spirit.

Like, “oops, I didn’t mean to apply for another card”?

@speedyfishy be all “Oops I did it again, applied for that card, got lost in the game” ...I’ll see myself out...

Can someone explain how the /ChurningReferrals world. How many Karma points do I need to post and how do I know my Karma points?

There was discussion of pulling Karma requirements from rChurning but it doesn't look like they've put anything together for that yet. I can't find any discussion on it over there. IF that's the case anyone can still post.

and @jhoannam
They don't appear to be requiring karma yet, just takes a couple cycles for it to show up on the rankt page. But I have no real karma and it's accepted my links in the new threads and they're now showing on the rankt page too. We'll see how long that lasts.

I have been tabbed a Moderator of r/churningreferrals. Basically we are working to mimic how the official referrals worked and keep the r/churning section of Rankt going. It is a process however so it may take time to kick in karma requirements and such. I’ll report here as I know more.

Is there anyway to use Chase UR points for a hotel with a parking package? We are flying from BOS in November. The hotel stay would be at the end of our trip.

 

[hsmamato2]

When I did it earlier this year, none of them showed up until I went to the store and completed the in store scavenger hunt.

what even is that???? once you did that, how did you see them in the app?

 

[hsmamato2]

They are really hard to find but essentially, they are attached to your membership. When I checked out, I told the gal that I had signed up with all these free foods as a promo but told her I couldn't see them anywhere in the app. She said they will just come off automatically but if they didn't, she'd manually remove them. Thankfully, they all came off on their own. I never showed a coupon or anything.

cool...i"m going to try this,so they leave it on me to know what I'm offered and got find it? (I kind of hate Sams club for this reason)

 

[hsmamato2]

...and the worst part is.....having all those gift cards but not wanting to use them as they won't earn you any points!

you know it..... I'm using them right now in the gap between MSR's.... but once I get that SPG Biz I have to work that card out.....it always amazes me how fast I use the gc's I buy....

I've already asked this....but if you find one that does I'd be THRILLED to know!(Dec for me tho) I've called around and no luck so far...the best I found was a cash price near the airport for 11 days for $265...I have another thread on here asking local experts for advice on parking options at BOS which is helpful too....

 

[hsmamato2]

Just make sure it can support Fortnite since not all of the models can DS11 got lucky and his does. Had he got my phone, he would now be complaining he needs a new phone since he would be SOL...

this reminds me of my ds's last phone purchase...he bought a refurb Galaxy s5 so he could play Pokemon Go....no other reason! however that is a great phone and he still loves it and uses it daily!($100 on groupon!)

@disneymagicgirl We have flown Sun Country several times BOS-MSP and had no problems. Last time I cheaped out on purchasing extras (carry-ons) so I was really nervous about the dimensions of the bags we were bringing on. I was at home measuring everyone's backpacks and making my DH crazy. Turns out no one even paid any attention to it on either flight.
