    I love credit cards so much! v6.0 - 2023 (see first page for add'l details)

    Sharing DPs - neither Amex nor Chase code IHG Points & Cash reservations as a real IHG reservation. I have the Amex offer for $50 off $250+ IHG, and I did not receive the $50 statement credit. I also did a IHG Points & Cash reservation paid with my IHG Premier Biz card and only got 1x points and...

    Thanks for the dps! Yesterday I got a targeted email from Citi for a 80K AA Biz card with the same conditions as the 75K offer so I applied today through the email and got instant approval. My last SUB was in 2019 right before things went off the rails so I should be ok there. Helps take the...

    To @Duckbug.Ducktales @iujen94 @StephPlum and others who have gotten the Citi Biz AA card recently - Did your SUB post, and were you able to combine your AA miles easily from the Biz AA account to your personal AA account?

    I tried for a CIU at the beginning of the month, got the 7-10 day message, and ended up a couple days later with a letter saying I'd been denied due to too many active accounts or too much available credit new business card recently opened business too new My stats are currently 11 open...

    The Club MCO Lounge Access

    Yeah, I thought that was strange too. I'm guessing the mornings and evenings are when they are most busy, maybe it's for business travelers, IDK. But I'm used to waitlists for Centurion lounges and the Capital One lounges, so I just roll with it.

    Just returned from a Wonder of the Seas cruise to the western Caribbean, and had a fantastic time. Loved it, and up to now I've been pretty meh on cruises, this is our third one ever. Last year we did an Alaska cruise on Brilliance of the Seas where I ended up catching covid and somehow -...

    Did you see FM report today of the new offer for a 75K CitiBiz AA card? That's 10K more than normal, but the MSR is $5000/5mo. instead of the $3500/4 mo. on the personal card. First year AF waived. 48 mo. SUB rule for CitiBiz card.

    The Club MCO Lounge Access

    Was at The Club yesterday and had to sign up for the waitlist (MCO was very busy). By then the entire day was greyed out for prebooking, and only morning and evening slots were available for the following three days for prebooking. Got a text about 10 min. later that space was available. Used...

    Correct, it doesn’t come with a FNC. You receive the $50 x 2 within the first year. But if you want the credit for the same stay, break the charge up into two $50 charges because you won’t get two $50 credits if you make a single $100 charge, if that makes sense.

    Best wishes for a speedy recovery!! We bought a split king setup about 10 years ago, with separate platforms that can flex to provide head elevation/zero gravity positions. And we got Casper original mattresses which have been really comfortable. DH no longer has back pain! The downside is...

    Thank you for letting me know about this. I just logged into the Cap1 travel portal and it does allow the option to drop off at another location, so I think this was a change since the last time I looked. Good to know!

    I tried for a week to get that 250k offer for P2 with no luck. Settled for the 190k offer since we have a new HVAC installation coming up that will take care of the MSR. [His last one was closed in 2019, and I got the popup when I tried a couple months ago.] Hope you have success with the 250k...

    @Haley R , I thought you were near MCO? I found this via pointsyeah .com for June 22, 2024 so I'd guess it's a possibility for Summer 2025 (granted it's to Gatwick and not LHR):

    Thank you!! Yes, I've been a point hoarder and am grateful that I can use my points to offset some of the costs of this trip! Thank you!! Oh, your trip sounds awesome. I totally understand about the Fringe giving you analysis paralysis lol. I can tell this one trip will barely make a dent into...

    I'm kind of in shock over award flight prices. I just found out this week my kid got accepted into a research project over the summer so now I know when we can travel as a family. I booked flights for us in UA J round trip DEN-EDI in August (I'm excited for The Fringe and maybe the Royal Tattoo)...

    Yeah, like I said I wasn't sure the agent knew what they were talking about. But on a second phone call, a different agent said the exact same thing about the CSP travel benefits being in place if the taxes/fees were purchased while the card was a CSP (even if it was a CSR at time of travel)...

    Coming back to answer my own question. I called Chase and the agent said that if I paid for taxes/fees with a CSP then the CSP travel benefits would apply even if I changed to a CSR before the travel dates. I'm not sure whether or not I believe that the agent knew what they were talking about...

    I agree with @palhockeymomof2 that it will be backdated and not count toward 5/24. Yes, he will get his own Priority Pass card. Additionally, IME if you add him as an AU after your CSR AF posts then that $75 fee doesn't get charged until the next renewal. Granted, I've only done this once and it...
