Both DH & I have 3 days between due date & closing date. Mine due the 4th closes on the 7th. His due the 17th closes the 20th.

Business card or personal card? They have different timeframes.

Hubby's personal card with a due date of 27 closes on the 2nd.

My business card with a due date of the 28 closes on the 6th.

Looks like either way you should be fine, although I would for sure want a statement cycle to go through so that I saw on the Chase website "Next statement closing January 2nd" before I put spend on there.

Perfect. It is a personal card and I am encouraged by your DP, but will also take your advice to check the Chase website after the first statement cycle.

Thank you. The 3 days difference you have with your cards is how it works for all my other cards, but I had read that a Chase card with a payment date of the 26th or later usually has a statement closing date of the 1st of the month or later. The experience of @TheOneWithTheTriplets seems to confirm this so I am hopeful my statement will close on the 1st or 2nd. Will provide DP once I know for sure.

I guess that’s why I’m wondering, how did it fit thru the scanner. It must have tho.

I've seen a 24 inch checked size bag go through the scanner, I'm pretty sure I've seen a 26 inch go through. Don't think I've ever seen a 28 inch or larger. It doesn't have to go through the scanner, it could be hand inspected if it's too large for the scanner.

You’re all ignoring my question. What do people do if they have full size luggage but they’re trying to get on stand by?
Wouldn’t they have to drag the luggage to the gate and then gate check if they make it onto the plane?

I don't think it's ignoring, just that no one here has an answer for you. The only time I flew standby I had a confirmed seat on a later flight and checked my bag for that flight. My checked bag made it on to the earlier flight with me.
