    I love credit cards so much! v5.0 - 2022 (see first page for add'l details)

    I did this last week and got a $75 uber voucher when I signed up for Clear. Pretty good deal if it's still working. https://www.doctorofcredit.com/clear-get-75-uber-voucher-on-signup-free-with-platinum-card/

    DH has an offer on his AmEx Plat card to add an AU and get 20,000 points when they spend $2000. He had this last year too and added DS. Can he add him again? We really don't have anyone else to add. Our older girls are now applying for their own cards. Although I don't think they are to the...

    Thanks for the suggestion, but there aren't any in there either. I checked my deleted folder too and the last notification I received was on April 25th. So strange.

    Totally off topic, but I've quit getting email notifications from threads I'm subscribed to here on the boards. I still have them on my watch list and I'm logged in. I'm not sure what else to check. Any ideas?

    Why was your last purchase your last purchase?

    Because tomorrow is administrative professional's day and I needed gifts

    I would have never seen that if you didn't post here. There was a letter in there dated 3/29/22 saying he needed to call in to verify that it was really him. We moved recently and I've noticed more verifications needed for some things. It says if he doesn't contact them in 14 days they will...

    Culture trends you dislike?

    I think you've put into words how I feel. I've always said that I'm not a world changer and as I've hit my 50's, I've come to feel like that's ok. Not everyone has to be a mover and a shaker. I've always been a middle of the road person and for many topics, I can see both sides. I work for a...

    Not sure what to do here - DH applied for a CIC on 3/29/22. He received a message that said "We need to review your request a bit longer. We will let you know our decision as soon as possible". Well, I still haven't heard anything. I'm assuming it was denied, but I never received a denial...

    Thanks! I'm starting a list of places to do long weekend trips now that we're (mostly) empty nesters. We the kids were home, it seemed like we had things going on every weekend and it was harder to get away. Now, not so much, so I need to start planning more!

    What all do you like to do in Nashville? I've only been once and it was for a work function, so we pretty much did broadway the entire time we were there, but we'd love to go back and see more of Nashville. We're about a 4.5 hour drive, so it would be a fun extended weekend trip!

    I just recently got the AmEx Gold card. I see it has the $10 per month dining credit at Cheesecake Factory, Grubhub, Shake Shack, etc. I guess there aren't any tricks/tips with using this? Can we just go in and get a $10 gift card to sort of stack the credits that way?

    Updated Disney Gift Card Deals and More

    I was thinking about doing this, so I don't have any experience with it, but if you have a platinum card where you can get Clear for free, it seems like a pretty good deal if it works. https://www.doctorofcredit.com/clear-get-75-uber-voucher-on-signup-free-with-platinum-card/

    I also had a spend $40 at Walmart.com and get $10 back - can use 2 times. Had this on both of our Plat cards.

    Has anyone had any luck getting TSA precheck for other people in your family? We have at least 3 of them that we haven't used and I thought about seeing if I could get it for the kids.

    We've had good luck with Cruise Compete as well.

    I noticed that too - we fly from STL, so Southwest has always been our best option for nonstop flights. We are going to the LAX area this summer for a cruise. I haven't booked flights yet because I'm working with my adult children and it's hard to get everyone to figure out what works best for...

    Question on booking cruises with UR points - we've done lots of Carnival Cruises, so I know all the ins and outs of booking them. We are looking at an NCL cruise this fall and am considering using our UR points to book it. It's my understanding that you can only pay with URs once, so if I'd...

    Is there a recon number for Capital One? I applied for the VentureX card and was denied. I just got the explanation through email and it says there is another pending Capital One application. I looked at their credit wise report and it says I tried to open a Saks card (looks like it is...
