I love credit cards so much!

[jhoannam]

“DH” applied for the SW biz card last night, called this morning and he was approved.
He closed his SW premier last night, moved his line of credit to another personal card.
I reduced his CIP to $3k via SM last night. This is his 3rd Chase Biz card.
He will apply for the SW Plus next month.

For the RMN shutdowns, at first glance I'm thinking it's less the gift card purchases and more using 2 accounts at the same time. Even though they're for separate people it probably looks like it's the same person who made multiple accounts given the transaction history and especially if both are linked to the same paypal account. That's my theory until we hear of single accounts getting shutdown too. (unless I missed one?)

Could maybe try to prove you are two people who just happen to shop together (and I do know some people who still share a smartphone, although they're in the extreme minority now). I didn't think it said anything about one per household, but I could have missed it since I only planned to use one account anyway.

No shutdown email for me yet. Almost all exclusively gift cards, but only one account.

Same here. Single account and no shutdown notification (yet, at least). I did just use RMN yesterday for the first time in a while: $4 off $30 at Staples and $2 off $10 at CVS. Gift card purchase only. The Staples cash back is pending, but nothing yet for CVS. Curious to see what happens....

I’m seeing a new Amex Offer on my wife’s SPG Biz for Spend $250 or more [in a single purchase], Get $50 back at Lowe’s, expires 12/31/18. Should stack well with the Get 10% back, up to $100, at Lowe’s Amex Offer that expires 11/30/18.

ETA: Not available on any of my Amex cards. Seems highly targeted.

Check your emails - $40 Disney GC for those with a Disney Visa who call and do a DVC phone tour. Call is 20 minutes. Can't already be an owner. Call 888-627-3509 if you have a Disney Visa.

Apologies if already posted - I don't have time to go backward on the thread right now.

Now that I have the SW Biz (60k points) and SW Plus (50k) points. I'm trying to get my CP as early in 2019 as possible (without screwing it up). I know the safest thing to do would be to not put any spend on them until 2019 but since I'm not counting on the MSR to count towards the CP my goal is to put almost all of the spend that I can in December. They couldn't give me the bonus points until I've spent the $3k and $2k MSRs right? Any advice on how to time my spend as much as possible in 2018 but make sure the bonuses post in 2019?

And just a couple more newbie questions if anyone could help: My "next statement date" for SW Biz is 11/16 (not sure what it will be for the Plus since I just got approved today). Should I change it? Also is the statement closing date the same as the "next statement date"?

I seem to have lost the ability to generate referrals on all of my Amex business cards. I'm hoping it's a temporary glitch.

Same here! I haven’t been able to do it for a few weeks. WTH?!?

Disney GC potential savings:
https://frequentmiler.boardingarea.com/get-happy-10-off-happy-cards-next-week-at-staples/

5x UR with CIC/CI+
10% off Happy card. (buy Happy Guy)

Buy Disney GC at Home Depot(check stock first + do test run first).

some tips at HD( point to the ATTN cashier message).
under $500 at cash register usually doesnt ask for ID.
Avoid Self Checkout(will ask for associate override due to check ID).

Good luck!

I'm another instant approval for the SW personal card (went through the link at DoC)!!! Yay! I got my SW Biz approved on 10/22/18 for my "business." I called and the rep says the welcome bonus is 50K for $2K spend and I have until 3/10/19 to make the spend (that's almost 4 months!). I've SM'd Chase to verify the 50K RRs for $2K spend so that I can have it in writing.

Ironically I'm going to be on a SW flight on Saturday but it's easier to apply sitting at home at a desktop where I can screenshot and print easily.

Next to-do: have DH self refer from his BGR for a BBP and then I think I'm done until after Thanksgiving.

Based on @Haley R's experience which changing statement dates...I would NOT do that!

Any of you guys done the Disney GC at Best Buy? someone in another group claims BB doesnt sell Disney cards no more.
Can any confirm or deny?

FYI that date makes perfect sense. Chase gives 115 days from approval on their MSR deadlines.

I'm almost positive I saw Disney gcs at BB yesterday, but I was also at Staples and CVS, so I could be mixing up my recollection among the three.

Did one of these last year. Wonder if I could get in on it again?

 

[Psychodisney]

Just said we need further review.

Mine did the same. But I was approved in 48 hours.

I'm not seeing it on any of my 4 cards either. I would love to get that offer!

Bought a disney GC at best buy yesterday and they had plenty at my store.

Edited to add that all the GC's at my store were variable load.

I'm in the same boat as you.

As I understand it, from your statement dates any spend you put on the SW Biz card AFTER December 16 should count toward your 2019-2020 CP. But, for me, I'm waiting until 1/01/2019 to put any spend on my cards LOL. I got burned last year with my AMEX BCP 6% cash back at grocery stores - AMEX changed the terms from the statement ending in December to the calendar year. So the $1000+ I put on my AMEX BCP in December after my statement date (thinking that it would go toward 2019 grocery category) I only got 1% on instead of the 6% I was expecting based on how AMEX did it in years past.

I know they are separate banks/issuers, but I'm not going to take a chance on Chase changing their terms to my detriment.

I had adjusted mine last year to 1/1 and 1/3 but for whatever reason, SW took forever to post the points from early in the month and people who had mid month dates and their points and CP before me. So I would not be adjusting my dates.

You want to make sure you hit the MSR after your December statements close or after 1/1 to be safe .....based on previous posters issues with changing their statement date...I wouldn’t do it

Another RMN shutdown both accounts. I agree it’s prob getting those with multiple accounts using same device. I knew something was up because my last few purchases went to pending and never posted. I was banned from PayPal in the heyday so this seems like small potatoes.....
