I love credit cards so much!

Definitely late here but this is the routing number I used when I successfully linked memory bank to ally 091017620

Website must have been having problems last night cause not only did they accept the routing number today but some other fields that I was filling out and were giving me trouble worked fine today! Thanks for the help!

Bummer, Chase says they won't expedite the CIC. Oh well, I can wait.

Quick question for those who have transferred an existing reservation (cruise, vacation package, etc) to Chase cruise and vacation.

We need to fill out a request with Norwegian to authorize the transfer to chase. The chase agent is instructing us to list Loyalty Travel as the travel agency with a direct 314 area code number. Has anyone seen that TA name used before with Chase? DH is handling since it’s his CSR we want to use. Something just doesn’t seem right with that name.

That sounds right, I recall something similar when I was poking around. I really think they are TA for other card programs too, but I don't have much to back that up, just how one of the phone exchanges went. And it would be logical.

Chase out sources the TA activities. You are never actually taking to Chase employees or dealing which Chase when you book travel (at least through cruise and tours). That is the name of the agency that handles cruise bookings for Chase, do exactly as they say

I Concur!

Hmm, trying to finish up my Q2 category spending by sending money through Paypal. My Freedom keeps getting denied yet I use the card everywhere else just fine, including online twice today. Do y'all think Chase is denying P2P paypal payments?

ETA: Nvm, fraud alerts just came in.

@Angrose thank you so much for informing me of the Disneyland hotel discount being released for my dates. I saved $74 a night!

Great news! I saved about $400 for my dates too. I'm still hoping that AP rates come out. I've been checking, but I haven't seen anything. I know the AP rates may not be better, but they usually come with small perks like FPs and dining credit.

Thank you! Looks like a few others will be doing the same thanks to the NCL $1 deposits. This is actually a 9 night out of NYC in December that we booked about 3 weeks ago and I need to move before the 30 days is up. DH just completed and emailed the form to transfer to the Chase TA so hopefully it will be transferred soon. We paid the deposit and full payment isn’t due until end of August so we’ll see if we’re able to hold off paying with points until then. I can’t see why they’d force you to pay months earlier than payment is due. We do have the points so I’ll proactively move them just in case. This will be our first large UR redemption. ~$3600 balance with 240,000 UR points if my math is right (using CSR).

Will update as we move through the process.

FYI for those going to DL through Sept: Disneyland is also running a promo now to book 3 nights at full price, get the fourth night free at GCH & DLH. Appears to be valid all days of the week so definitely worth checking if you’re staying over the weekend.

I saw this over on the DLR forum too. I'm currently booked for 3 nights and, unfortunately, I think that's all we can do. We just don't have the vacation time to add another day. Boo

American Express Platinum Adds $100 Saks Fifth Avenue Benefit

Just keep those Platinum benefits with cash value coming to justify that $550 AF, Amex.

Looks like I’ll be buying $50 Saks gift cards 2x a year and reselling them.

$88 profit is pretty sweet(from resale). if only i had an Amex Plat!!

From my conversations with Chase TA, they will deduct points at the time of transfer. If there is a remaining balance you can put it on your CSR. They said something about being a TA that must process payment up front

Well that's a BS reason. Unless something has radically changed in the travel world recently there's no reason a travel agent needs payment up front if the travel provider doesn't require it. NCL doesn't require payment until 120 days before sail so there's no reason to pay at time of transfer. And you can't transfer a booking after that because full payment would be due at time of booking and if you made full payment there's nothing to transfer.

They didn't tell me payment would be due at time of transfer, they just said your UR needs to be used then. I have no intention of paying the balance at transfer. So not sure what she was talking about with that explanation. Not sure why they would be a different TA than anywhere else. Everything about them has been confusing so far.

Was on the phone for an hour trying to transfer over my Disneyland reservation. The rep called Disney and said it can take 14 days to fully transfer over and she will call me once Disney does it. Does this sound right? I swear I’m the only one that has these issues....

I funded a PNC savings account with SO’s CSP today. He opened a savings and a checking when he got the CIP in March. I tried to do a third savings account today too but it wouldn’t let me. Maybe I’ll try next month. I also did 3k with BMO for the CSR. He got approved but has to call to set up online access. Between that and having to call to transfer the Disney reservation he may kill me. lol

Did you open 2 of the same type savings accounts? I've opened both the checking and savings but didn't know you could do a second savings account???

Yeah, the first standard savings was opened in March and then the second one was opened today. They are both in my SO’s name and he didn’t close the first account. I tried to do a third right after I opened the second today but it denied me for security reasons. I’m unsure how quickly they can be opened but maybe every 30 days?

Since it pertains to my ability to get another card I thought I would share the news, also because you all always make me feel so good with all the likes and I need a little boost right now

I have an interview Thursday! I feel like I've applied for a biz card and got the 30 day message to start with and that they needed more info. This job wanted references first and sent survey's to them, which I think is why I got the interview because I know my references were good and while I have great job experience, it's a bit all over the place having worked in pro sports, it translates but people don't see that. So now I'm at the 2 weeks and we'll see what happens.

Tomorrow I'll prepare and read up about it since this is in an field I've never worked in but am quite familiar with. The nice thing, and why I applied, is because it uses some of the skills that I've been wanting to use but haven't had a job to use them in for awhile - writing, proofreading, editing. Things my PR degree are kind of for

There's a new SW sale. I just got 4000 points back on my December BDL-OAK flight.

...that’s great!!...unfortunately mine have only gone up...

Has anyone downloaded Drop? I saw a mention of it on Reddit and it says you can link your credit cards to earn points for gift cards. Looks legit.

I’ve never been to WDW in June so these crowds and wait times are a foreign concept to me. Last two weeks of August are the best in terms of crowds. It rains every day and it’s hot and humid but we walk on many rides.

Still catching up here...

Reading about your experience is scaring me, because we're planning to go to WDW next June! Last day of school is June 6th, so we'll probably leave on the the 7th. Our only other trip was in late Sept. and the crowds were very low.

I got it a few weeks ago. I had to pick five places from some options to earn points at. I have gotten $11 worth in giftcards since my download on June 8th. They also give you special offers where you have the opportunity to earn more points. You have to give them your bank login which scares me. I only linked my Amex cards to try it out. Not comfortable giving my Chase login since I have a checking account with them.

ETA: I picked Uber, (thought I’d be using UberEats but they suck), Walgreens, McDonald’s, Chipotle, and Target.

Just downloaded this because I was curious. I don't reember ever hearing about it but I had signed up some point because my email was already in the system and I tried a password that worked. Going to guess it's because my bank wasn't an option and I wasn't using cc's much and saw no reason. Weird.
