Hi! Long time lurker, very infrequent poster. I have read quite of few pages of this long thread and have learned quite a bit of information, but have a question. A bit of backround. To this point I have done the Southwest 50k bonus for myself and my husband, canceled the card after a year and then did it again after the 24 months was up. My husband just got his bonus in April. He could refer me for the 40k and get 10 or I was thinking of getting the CSP( I think that is the right abbreviation.. so much to learn!), the one with the AF waived the first year. He does have a Freedom, that we could then convert the points through the CSR. So my question concerns the double dip. I see that it means applying for two cards on one day. I get why you would do it for the Southwest card to get the companion pass, but am wondering what the advantage is for the Saphire. So I am 0/24 with Chase and he is 1/24
We have a family of five so we usually just fly every other year and drive when we don’t have points. We also don’t stay in hotels very often, as we prefer the space that a rented time share or condo gives us. So I guess our first want would be flights and then hotels. I was thinking of possibly taking a trip to Europe in the future and thought I could start now.
As I do not have a legit business, at this point I am not interested in a business card. But I think they way some of you do this you could call your credit card churning a “business”!
Thank you for all the good information, any advice or suggestions appreciated!
