Wow, finally caught up with back reading after being away for quite a few weeks. So much has changed in the last 2 months. I got lucky and got approved for a CIP in late March using P2's link before Chase started tightening the application requirements for a sol prop. P2 would have been eligible for a Chase Biz card now, but that doesn't seem feasible right now.
Been feeling a little down lately as we(P1, P2, DS, & DD) were supposed to be boarding a plane to visit my sister in Germany for 2+weeks starting tomorrow. Fortunately, we had booked a refundable rental house(VRBO) in Garmisch, and apartment in Paris(Chase UR's). Airfare was booked via UR's transferred to United for Saver fare tickets. Originally United wanted $125 per ticket to refund back our 240,000 points. Thankfully the flights changed quite a bit and since they could not get us to Germany within 6 hours of our original arrival time, they waived the $125 fee and redeposited the points. Only lost a few $$'s on our home and apartment rentals due to currency conversion changes from February. Really wish we could transfer the United points back into UR's.
Just finished MSR on the CIP and not sure of our next steps. Looking into the Wells Fargo Business Platinum as an option to help top off our WF points stash for Disney World vacation in 2021. P2's CIP will be coming up for its annual fee next month. Read quite a few pages back all of the advise to keep the Chase Biz cards open, and will product change it when the time comes.
Hope things start to get back to normal soon, so everyone can get back to traveling. Thanks to all who provide great info on this forum.
