I’m going to have to see if anyone’s taxes can be filed that way....great ideaI buy the program for myself, and my son, but I do hers for free there just to get the miles

See, I was just telling DH the other day that I wished his brothers would commit to the family cruise next year, because everyone would just get cruise related gifts, like things they could use, etc. But noooooooo.... they're being difficult.
I could order everyone a shirt to wrap up if they would!

I'm definitely getting one BIL the Toy Story ones no matter what. I love the UP ones! I want them for myself!I'm getting BIL these Edna Mode ones. I can't decide which ones I want for DH! I like the Up ones, but I don't know that he'd actually wear them mismatched like that
And I might have to get Edna for MIL. She works with kids at school, and one little girl calls her Edna Mode So now it's a running joke... we bought a plush Edna on our trip last month, and are waiting for Christmas decorations... MIL has a collection of stuffed Christmas bears she puts up on a ledge around the house going back to the late 80s. We plan to put Edna up there...I'm getting BIL these Edna Mode ones. I can't decide which ones I want for DH! I like the Up ones, but I don't know that he'd actually wear them mismatched like that
I’m happy to report that making fast passes this morning went much more smoothly than expected! Considering the huge IT issues Disney has had the last few months I was shocked things went so well.
I heard on the radio that today is National Shred Your Credit Cards Day.
Your on the right tract....just have to make sure you don’t hit the MSR on the business cards in 2018 and put whatever spend you want to go towards the 110,000 CP points on your cards in 2019 to get the CP for 2019 and 2020
I’m going to copy and paste a prior comment I made regarding this:Do I have to earn ALL the points in the same calendar year? If I spend $500 on one card and $2500 on the other in December 2018, and do the remaining $500 each in January, will that qualify?
If your talking about the $3,000MSR...in 3 months money spent in 2018 will count toward that....Do I have to earn ALL the points in the same calendar year? If I spend $500 on one card and $2500 on the other in December 2018, and do the remaining $500 each in January, will that qualify?

If you want to play it totally safe, don't spend anything on the cards until 1/1/19. Calendar year calendar year calendar year. If you do your plan above, that money spent will not count toward the 110K calendar year threshold to qualify for CP. You would only have $1K of spend for each of you toward the 110K threshold for 2019.
ETA: I think someone said that if you spend in Dec after your statement close, that money spent would go toward 2019. Personally, I'd rather not chance it and potentially lose out on a CP.
Not chancing it. Was Kinda hoping to earn CP in January and use on the March WDW trip. Now I see I need to go ahead and book those flights. Thanks everyone!
I'm curious why you regret cancelling the Biz Plat? I have one that I've kept for the second year (I figured the mediocre retention offer plus the discount offers and airline credit essentially amounted to the annual fee) but I'm not sure what I'll do when the next AF IS due.
Thanks for the response, and I saw your previous post listing all the benefits too.I totally missed this post yesterday. When does your 100k Platinum mailer expire?
As for how to fit the Platinum and MRs into your plans, the card’s $200 airline fee credit can be used to buy $200 Southwest GCs, and can easily be “dipped” twice on one annual fee because it’s a calendar year benefit that resets on 1/1 every year. So that’s $400 in SW GCs that you’re getting back from a $550 AF. Depending on the time of year you apply (and the expiration date of the 100k offer), you could potentially “triple dip” this benefit for $600 worth of SW GCs. AA and Delta GCs are also an option.
The 100k MR can be redeemed through Amex Travel for $1,000 worth of flights. SW is not listed on the Amex Travel portal, but you should be able to call in and an agent can help you redeem your points for SW flights. Or, you could transfer those MRs to Amex’s many airline partners for award flights, including British Airways, Air Canada, Air France/KLM, JetBlue, and Etihad, which are Aer Lingus partners.
I listed the other benefits of the Platinum card a bit further upthread this morning, which might help justify the big AF.

The offer expires November 19.
It was sent to DH. So I have to convince him to go for it.
I’ve just never done MRs before, so not sure how easy/hard they’ll be to use. I just hate the idea of not jumping on it.
