I've been trying to decide on my next steps. My goal has always been an extended family trip to WDW in April 2020. Staying deluxe probably 8-9 nights. Me, DH, DD11, DS10, DS7. And I'd like to cover whatever I can for my parents.
I got into this game last May and here's what I have:
05/2018 CIP #1
08/2018 CSP
08/2018 CSR
11/2018 SW plus
01/2019 SW Biz
04/2019 CIP #2
I also have a Freedom that I got in 2011.
DH is a reluctant player 2. He has:
07/2018 CIP
03/2019 CSP
Here's what I'm thinking,
- Cancel the CIP #1 once the annual fee posts, should be soon.
- Cancel the CSP when the AF posts in August or September.
- Product change the CSR to another Chase Freedom after the AF posts. I'd like to use the $300 travel credit for a second time before cancelling.
I'll soon have close to 600K URs which I'll put towards two rooms and I'd like to add the dining plan as well. I can add the dining plan by calling even if I don't buy a package with tickets, right??
I have 116K SW points plus a companion pass to use for flights for me, DH and kids - should cover all 5 of us or at least come pretty close.
Still need to cover park tickets.
Thinking my next card will be end of June/early July depends on when we meet the spend on CIP#2.
Probably Barclay Arrival plus for the 70,000 bonus, or Capital One Venture so I could erase the travel charges from
Undercover tourist for the tickets.
Could I buy two park tickets (8-day with park hopper plus) through
UT and just put $300 on my CSR and the rest on a Barclay?
Hoping to convince DH to also go for a Barclay Arrival Plus to use towards more tickets or a CIP#2, but that might be a harder sell for him.
Would there possibly be any issue with buying all the tickets separately?
Does this seem like a good plan? Anything else I should be looking at? I'm currently 3/24, should I go for a CIC or CIU before the Barclay? Or maybe I should lay off Chase for a little bit.
I was following a pretty clear path for the last year, but I'm not sure what my next steps should be now.
Any advice or thoughts are welcome. Thanks!
