I love credit cards so much!

Another post for anyone who shops at Kohl’s...today and tomorrow...is their Veterans Day sale....$10 off $25...which can be stacked with the 30% off and free shipping if you use your Kohls card...this is one time I use it since I’m able to make multiple orders

I love this sale! We ended up with 9 orders.

I have two boys, 10 and 7, who are completely oblivious to ANY brand name, including UA. I think I am very, very glad!! Kohl's does seem to keep excluding more and more from using coupons.

My boys (11 and 16) are the same way. It's great!

This is terribly selfish, with all the people here in CA who have been evacuated and/or have lost their homes this week, but I fear that our trip next weekend is not going to happen because of the Camp Fire. We were planning to spend three nights in Petaluma on BW points and go to Point Reyes and tour Sonoma State for ods, but as of right now I'm thinking that we'll probably have to cancel because of the air quality. I'm having trouble finding anywhere in Northern CA that isn't affected. It's horrible here in the Sacramento area right now.

I have placed way more than 9 orders. Wishing DH was traveling this week!! Stocking up on socks, pjs, cuddl duds for Christmas Disney trip, etc. I was bummed that beauty was excluded because I bought lots of stocking stuffers as add-on items to get to $25 last year.

I have to confess, I might be the culprit/catalyst behind his wardrobe since I do all of his clothes shopping. DH always comments that he is a walking billboard I know my mom friends who get his hand-me-downs are apprentive of my shopping addiction

ETA: I believe they are excluded based on UA (and Nike) request. I think they can only put the clothing on sale when those brands say so with no additional discounts.

I ordered our matching XMas pjs much cheaper than what I spent most years. Hoping DS’s fit since I had to order him a Men’s small since they didn’t have the big boys on sale.

I think most of us are in awe of you and your travels with the plane princess. I hesitate to suggest anything!

I am sure something will present itself. I guess work on your PTO and eventual retirement goals for now.

Personally I just keep waffling right now over whether or not to go for one of the Plats while it is a good time to triple dip the airline credit. For you that is baby churner stuff.

Aaww thanks

I am pretty sure I will be picking up the business plat for no bonus since I've had it before and regret canceling it. The airline credit in December and again in January will take some of the sting out. I figured something not on my radar or hadn't considered might be in order. My advice is go for the Plat cards!

GrAAvy train... I’m sure you have a million miles with AA but you can never have enough

My other suggestion would be spend for free nights? Like I’m thinking of trying to MS the Hyatt card for 15k (if I get the card lol) and get an extra free night. You could also do this on the Hilton Cards, don’t know if you would use those free night certs tho.

Currently 996 miles short of 1 million with AA, but I take your meaning I think that is a good idea and will likely take that route for a card or two and have DH do the same.

I don't have the Hyatt card and am unwilling to stir the pot with Chase despite being CPC with them. Maybe if I do a mass clean up like @SouthFayetteFan did first, I'd consider going for it. We definitely do use the free night certs which is why I never cancel hotel cards. Just last night we decided to go back to WDW in December for a weekend we hadn't already booked with DVC. There were no DVC rooms available. I used my free night Marriott cert and DH used his and voila, I have my weekend stay with no money coming out of the vacation budget.

I will likely play with some more bank bonuses and do some MS this year on the Alaska card and the Wells Fargo Propel card.

Oh boo! A friend of mine has early Ticketmaster access tomorrow for the next batch of Broadway dates. She asked if I want a ticket(s). I'm contemplating. Anyone done the Ticketmaster early access thing (Verified Fan I think its called)? Curious to know what prices will be.

I also got a code for the next round of NYC tix. I've used verified fan before and it was how we got the Harry Potter play NY tix and the extra Hamilton FT. Lauderdale tix. When DH was finally able to make it in the virtual line for the HP tix the price point was at about $500 a ticket for the dates we wanted. I told DH to get them and I'd figure out how to pay for them before the day was out. Not 30 seconds later my boss called out of the blue to tell me we were all receiving a $1,000 bonus in our next check. Problem solved LOL

The Hamilton tix for Ft. Lauderdale had tix ranging from about $100 to over $1000. We had to change dates around to get the $100 nosebleed seats since I was springing for the tix for the family and was not about to pay the $1000 price point. We had nosebleed seats in DC and it was fine and we enjoyed the show very much. My family isn't picky so they didn't care and were happy to have seats. Unfortunately, we were only allowed to buy 4 tix. So, now I have to find 1 ticket for myself in nosebleed on StubHub somewhere near them. Sigh ...

You could have chase change it to the no fee card and reduce the credit limit to $1,000 to free up credit limit space.
I’ve kept my no fee Disney card to use at Disney for discounts etc..it doesn’t get used any other time

I thought about doing that, but I really don't see a lot of uses for the card when we're down at WDW since we don't really eat in the places that get the discounts much and don't buy many souvenirs. We charge everything to the room and I pay it off with a gift card anyway.
I was surprised to see this morning that they refunded my annual fee. It's been over 30 days since it was charged (Oct 1), so I figured that was a lost cause.

I find there are more and more restricted brands every time I shop there! That said, I placed 11 orders today HAHAHA

Agree..nothing off toys for this sale either......I placed more orders than that..and most shipped yesterday...USPS is not going to be happy with me for the next week or so

Cross post from Gift Card Deals for Safeway stores shoppers:
Check for 8x rewards on $50+ Happy Card digital coupons. There is a coupon for each card type, including Happy Guy (home depot), so you can buy one of each per account.

I did and scored tickets for Hamilton NYC for spring break...April 2019. I paid around $210 pp with Ticketmaster fees.

Where are your seats? I don't need premium but not sure I want far sides or nosebleed either.

Ok I just got around to really reading my Amex offers for right now..... I have the spend 1k/10k points offer on our ascend card(DH main,I'm AU) so I'd like to do that twice for the points. I want to stack with the Amazon offer I also got on that acct which is get 13x points up to $500 in spend.... I'm thinking I can stack and use these right? The Amz offer states no gc for this offer....any DP that you can buy egc and it will trigger the 13x,or are they serious about that? I'd love to get the ba;; rolling here for the points-
Amex is throwing so many offers at me for months I can barely keep up and all my extra spend is going on these cards!
I also got the spend $200 on grocery get 10k Hh points on another Hh card acct.....

Yes! Toys are definitely a new addition to the list.

I got a free promo for UPS My Choice Premium and I absolutely love the auto-upgrade for UPS SurePost shipments. My Kohl's orders haven't shipped yet, but I can't wait to see how it plays out. I honestly think I may purchase the UPS My Choice Premium once my trial ends.

Maybe I should apply for the CIP before incurring any "shipping charges?" It has been just over 3 months since my double dip.

 

[Alexle2007]

Ok, DH wants to open a new bank account for eBay funds. Plus one for our money market funds that are sitting in our work credit union. We easily change our direct deposit with work. Any suggestions on the best bank bonus to go after? I think a Discover is currently lower than I’ve seen for their bonus.

 

[hsmamato2]

....and DH has to call in to chase line to setup his SWA biz card b/c they need to send a verify code which can only be gotten by calling....(!??!) this is a pain. I'll have to make him call later (unwilling P2)

We are in the rear mezzanine. High up but full unobstructed view.

I’m sure your fine to go for the CIP now..Just check your credit limits and lower if necessary....

Saw a friend in Kohls this morning..she use to work there....told me the Black Friday toy prices will be better than the pricing now...hope she’s right

Chase kindly slashed both my sapphires right before the first statement closed so between my 3 Chase cards I have just about $25,000. I will plan it out in Excel and see if can hit the $5,000 with normal spending from now. All big purchases (that I know about) seem to be completed. I will have an annual insurance bill come Feb/Mar which I would love to put on a new card, but that would require me to wait until Dec/Jan to apply
