I love credit cards so much!

[wendow]

Oh at 100k you really DO need this card!!

But that $450 af

 

[wendow]

do you just click on the request upgrade? I assume you can confirm it after you see the offer and it doesn't just automatically upgrade you?

I logged in to find the offer but I’m not sure if you have to.

 

[wendow]

Wait what costs $1 with USPS? I have been spending too much time on a returned mail initiative.

Change of address with usps.

You just have to login and that page updates with your offer.

I also got 100k. Probably not going for it though. My CIP app is still pending.

Don’t you come to me for advice on that...that’s @calypso726’s department to give AF pep talks LOL!!

 

[DisneyMandC]

I do have to say it feels like a personal attack that Amex comes out with a 3k offer on the Hilton Biz the same day I'm awarded my Hilton points on the 89th day of my MSR after spending $5000

Tagging @calypso726 because...apparently I screwed it up the first time LOL!

I believe they fixed that for most people with combined accounts. My parents have a combo account and were able to use Chase Pay for the first time I think whenever Chase ran their last Best Buy offer...

That's good that they fixed it. A year or so ago it took multiple calls to Chase before I could use Chase Pay.

Probably the same way everybody will feel in 3 months when they increase SPG lux to 150k...

JK JK...I have no insider knowledge

I know the feeling.

What about those early birds who applied for the SPG Lux before they knew they could’ve self-referred for another 20k if they have a SPG personal? Not exactly the same but the feeling’s real.

I have not yet had a chance to apply for the Lux yet!

When I did that it showed me what I think was the normal offer and apply now button.

 

[kmc8826]

Aack. I just checked (don’t know why) and I have the 100k upgrade offer too. Only reason have spg cards is/was transfer to Delta. I haven’t even followed it; are they still allowing airline transfers? I have a 10k msr haven’t even really started on yet...

 

[pillow]

I think people have found them at the customer service desk? I know @pillow used to get them occasionally at Best Buy.

@hsmamato2 Were you able to find any Visa gc's at Best Buy? At one point, they had them at customer service. But I think all my local stores have stopped carrying them.

Another random comment/question on Best Buy . . . has anyone heard any updates on the Gift of College cards? Did that fizzle out? I haven't checked my local store recently but feel like I would have seen posts on DOC or Frequent Miler if they started carrying them. Sure wish they would!

 

[alryan]

You can call Chase and they can combine them, but if you ever want to use Chase Pay, they will have to be separated again.

Thank you, I guess I'll just set it up separately for now. I don't want to ask my husband to make a phone call. Have to keep it easy for him to keep going along with me!

 

[LynnTH]

Does anybody have any datapoints on this yet (Paging @Lain, @gottalovepluto, @striker1064 and any other r/churning regulars)? This is certainly a good test offer because if they don't give you the bonus, you only spent $1,000, the annual fee is waived year 1, and you can double up on the travel credit for $200 - so you at least get that.

Has anybody else seen evidence of AMEX denying a bonus if this language popped up? I know the whole process is pretty new so it'll be interesting to see how it pans out. I fully expect to see this message for me on future AMEX cards (since I've basically abused them) so it's a particularly interesting situation to me

Well dag nab it. I took the pop up to mean ‘I may’ be denied but do you want to do a hard pull and see if you get approved. I may have screwed up. I will chat with them tomorrow and see what they say

I’d be super innocent about it tho. Don’t mention the popup - just ask to confirm the offer requirements... You don’t want to cause an issue if there isn’t one. We seriously have no DPs on how this works - you may be the first (and maybe it’ll workout just fine).

 

[CyndiLouWho]

Unfortunately, his tuition is about $25,000 a semester, and I definitely don't have a credit limit near high enough to cover that . But the Plastiq tip is a really good one! I'll look into doing that for my rent to get me to the minimum spend.

Hang around here and you will.

Will do. I have to pretend to be DH anyway. So will have him play dumb. Will let you all know what I find out.

 

[CyndiLouWho]

I just use “Chase points” and “Amex points” with my wife. Lol

My DH really just knows “points”. To him miles, points, URs, MRs...all the same. I collect them and book vacations with them, he enjoys said vacations. He will call if necessary but usually requires nagging...not like I’m referring to that SW card that needs a retention bonus
