This thread is amazing. Thank you so much to everyone who has helped me already. What a nice group of people!!
Was hoping my new CIP would have arrived in the mail on Saturday, but alas, no such luck. Will check again when I wake up this afternoon.
Things to do when I get it:
- Get online access and add it to my existing Chase login so I have one less place to log into
- Start spending
- Figure out how to get a referral link so that my husband can apply (no idea if he would be approved) but don't have him apply too soon or we won't hit the MSR for his
- IF he gets approved, sounds like we have to wait to add me as an employee of his business (CFO, if you please!)
**When he is doing his application, if he applies as sole proprietor, will they give him a hard time about adding an employee?**
@Lain thanks for the even more detailed explanation of the points' worth. Had I been booking today I would have blithely just booked at the "lowest value" possible and then been sad later but now I am armed with knowledge! Thank you! I did take a peek at that Chase Sapphire (reserve??) that you mentioned but the $450 annual fee kinda freaked me out. That is right up there with an AMEX I was looking at the other day. Yikes! Maybe later when I am well and truly hooked on travel....
