I love credit cards so much! v2.0 (see first page for add'l details)

Chase Freedom categories are up!! Grocery stores and home improvement stores for Q2!

YAY! My CIP approval happened overnight!
Question - What is the best way to have the CIP card expedited? By phone (what number?) or by SM? If SM, would I do that on my CSR/CSP account? How soon will they send it? I assume they will not overnight it....
2nd Question - When and how will DH see that he got the referral bonus on his account?

Thanks everyone for your help!

Regarding the Hilton Biz offer, I am looking for the best offer. DOC says there is a 125K points with a $100 statement credit available by doing a dummy booking. What exactly is that? I went to the site and started a reservation but I stopped short of actually reserving a room with my credit card. I did find a 130K point offer but no statement credit. Do I have to actually make a reservation to get the best offer?

Well what the heck... I still don't have points pending for the Chase Pay/Samsung Pay promo.

 

[Disneyonmymind]

Congratulations!

If you call the automated status line, you should be able to follow the prompts to check on the status of your application (#, 3, 1), then at the end of the message it gives you the option to speak to a representative who can look up your application and expedite the new CIP.

Alternatively, if you don’t want to speak with a human and have their eyes on your account, see if the new CIP shows up on any of your Chase online (biz) accounts. If it does, you can send an SM for that new card specifically (select the card with a new last 4-digits), and ask a rep to expedite that card over SM.
​

Good luck!

As this is my first Chase business card, I called. And they said the card would arrive via UPS in 1-2 business days so probably Monday. Thanks!!!

Yippee! I can easily max out two chase freedoms with these categories. Still doesn't make up for Q1!

Wait... I figured out my Chase Pay issue. I got the email on 2/28... so I did two vending machine transactions that day... promo started 3/1 So now I have two. That means I need to go buy something from the vending machine, right?

So, my biggest use of Gyft so far has been Target and Walmart GCs with my CIC for 5x URs. Realized yesterday that all along I probably would have been better off just using a Visa card in store at Sam's and getting 2% Dosh + 5% Uber credits + whatever Visa points with the choices being SW card, Marriott card, 1x UR card, 2% cashback, or Disney Visa. And especially when Dosh runs their 8% promos. Lol.

dont forget about yelp for another 2%.

I could max these two categories... but with 10% back at Lowe's on two different cards and now I know I can buy Kroger GCs, I don't really know that I will. I guess it depends on how much DH spends at Lowe's organically for our garden, but he planted a lot of perennials last year and we just got a bunch of $1 bags of mulch from my mom's company, so I don't know that we'll need much. I may just focus on using up that offer and then putting the rest of our spend on (hopefully) a new Bonvoy Biz and CIP.

Amex and Hilton changes up the SUB offers on these cards all the time. I couldn't find any recent DP of the 125k points + $100 SC still being available. The 130k offer may be the best available publicly via dummy booking. Do you have any other Amex cards you could possibly self-refer from to get that bonus too?

No other Amex except for SPG biz. Too bad I’d love to have the $100 to offset the 95AF. For the “dummy booking”, do I have to make an actual reservation?

I think you're doing it right, you want to get far enough into the booking so that the offer shows up on the payment page. That's after you put in name and address. It says $100 statement credit and 75000 points for me (for the Hilton no fee card). Click on the Learn More button and a pop up will open, at the top there you can switch to the "Business" tab to see the business card offer for $100 and 125,000 points.

I got all excited for a moment, then realized if I pull an AMEX MSR that there's probably no maxing in my future lol.

Does it show on Credit Karma when you have a hard pull?

***Disregard I found it.***

Apparently I have a problem. I spent part of a dream on a plane. After waking up I realized I was lying down, up front, with only a few other people in that section. My subconscious now flies business/first.

 

[Psychodisney]

Go in as if you’re booking a new flight. When you find your flight, you can click on the flight number for details, including type of plane. Now don’t tell me you’re flying MDW to MCO. That would be funny.

Unfortunately,no, just to Detroit....and its a Max800. I can't change it online because I have a CP. So, I'm on hold this morning with an estimated wait time of over 120 minutes.
I also have the notice on a flight on 3/30 to RSW. That is not on an 800. I wonder why it has the notice?
Hopefully I get a human before I need to move on!

I still have $1675 on Lowe’s. But I’ll convert that to Disney for my next cruise. The other $3000 I can use for groceries and other gift cards.

 

[Psychodisney]

My DH's annual fee hit on his SW card and his points have posted. Can I SM to close the account and have the AF refunded?

Sorry for such a basic question!!!!! I guess here I won't be ridiculed. Can you imagine if I asked on reddit!?
