I love credit cards so much!

[wendow]

The lower MSR can be a slight consolation lol.

Oh true! Hadn't thought of that! I have until December until get something in place.

 

[3 DD love princesses]

Happy mother’s day to all the moms.

Are you breathing? You're approved...

@SouthFayetteFan Stop trying to scare people.

@wendow - They will never ask you to prove you are breathing. It's assumed because they received your application that you are among the living. I mean come on, everyone (including Amex) knows that zombies are unable to operate computers. Until there is a class action discrimination lawsuit against Amex brought forth by the walking dead whereby everyone in the courtroom is relieved of their brains, I think it is safe to apply for Amex biz cards.

Some may remember that a while back I booked a room at the Times Square Marriott Marquis (40,000 points for a $700 room? Yes please) for this December to take my mom on a Christmas in New York trip she’s talked about for a long time. I’m contemplating whether I should go ahead and send her the confirmation email for it tomorrow for Mother’s Day as part of her gift. It’s so far away though!! But I know she’ll be thrilled since she’s never been to NYC. What do the moms here think? Super early surprise to time it with Mother’s Day?

Absolutely! What an awesome gift!!

Love it. Our family still has the unlimited. Unfortunately as mentioned they put the negative no repeated viewings rule.

However my older daughter has one and rarely uses it so if i want to see something again I just use hers. I have had mine since
last Sept and the only saw one movie twice and that was Black Panther. There really hasn't been that many great movies to see
twice let alone once lol.

**Lot of rumors going around about how they might go under*

Oh I forgot about the fact that sometimes we've seen movies twice like Black Panther, Jumanji and The Greatest Showman. That does put a damper on things. Still a great money saver and I hope they don't go under but we've heard the same rumors.

Definitely plan to add this card and cannot pull up the 20k offer to save my life! I'll be using a support offer I'm thinking I need a place to park my MR's.

I picked this one up recently. I'm toying with switching my non category spending to it come August 1st. I'll be cancelling my Everyday no fee one in order to make room for the new SPG card, assuming it comes with a great sign up bonus.

Sorry, I don't recall the answer on this. On the CSR, does the travel purchases covered by the travel credit count towards MSR? I would think so since it's earning UR but I don't want to mess up my calculations. I'll have the full 300 used within the MSR time period.

Yes it counts but the AF doesn’t

WooHoo! Just helped my mom apply for the CIP using my referral link. She was instantly approved!!! She is coming to Scotland for another long weekend with us next year! Happy Mother’s Day!

They should count. I also make it a habit to spend above the MSR by that amount just because it “feels” right lol!

I’ll just add a quick comment that my wife and I both have Blue Biz Plus cards and it’s great. They are an excellent way to keep MRs active with a no AF card (and a Biz card at that so no 5/24 implications).

as usual I'm just chock full of wwyd questions..... if I wanted to dip a toe into non 5/24 cards.... would I go for hyatt or one of the new marriott cards right now? (or wait for a new marriott type card coming?) and then for MR, just to try them out and see how they work, Blue Biz or BGR? I don't want a big spend, just a way to try the MR world (esp. for those deals where you can get amazon stuff for cheap by using one MR etc)

As far as Hyatt vs. Marriott: Where will you use the points? I'm new to Hyatt but pleasantly surprised about the number of points for rooms vs. Marriott. We use most of our hotel points for visiting our kids. College towns, football weekends. I'm finding that the Marriott points don't go very far. We're planning a Hyatt vacation next year for my DD's spring break.

I have a question regarding AA and baggage and award seats...... So I'm confused (SWA traveler here,it's simple with them) If I have seats booked on AA saver award (cheapest LA-HI...what does that mean for baggage,basic economy? which seems to = just a personal,no carryon/overhead allowance? Should I be expecting to pay a checked bag fee in this case? Edited to ask..... Since I booked thru BA using Avios, but I could choose my seats after booking on the AA site....what does that mean as far as me viewing/managing my booking? DO I go straight to AA site for that?

Do you have an AA credit card?

For the Chase business cards, if you have a "business" what name do you use? Do you use your own name, or did you make one up?

ETA: I used my own name. Thanks all!

So Plastiq flagged my payment to roofer on Friday. I responded quickly with the invoice but no reply yet. The charge is pending on my CIP, so does that mean it went through? If so, 79% through with CIP MSR.

Own name only, don’t make up a name, they may question it.

 

[Lvsdisney]

I got approved instantly for the CIC!! Can't believe it, but I'm super happy. After I meet the MSR, I think I'll go for the CSP next. Let the churning begin!!

Use your own name and apply as sole proprietor using your ss#.

I just applied for a Discover it card for students for my college kid. Instant approval! Card is on the way!!!

It’s remaining pending probably because Plastiq hasn’t canceled/declined your payment yet. I wouldn’t worry about that happening. You replied on Friday afternoon, so Plastiq probably hasn’t had a chance to review the invoice and clear your payment. I’d bet you hear back tomorrow.

Do Disney park tickets purchased through Undercover Tourist count towards the CSR $300 travel credit? And do I have this right, assuming they do, you purchase them and it automatically comes off your staetement without you doing anything?
