I love credit cards so much! v3.0 (see first page for add'l details)

What would I do i this scenario?
I made a reservation for P2 and I. I then made another for DS on the same flight. Both cash.
I’ve just earned the CP and haven’t added online yet.
Thanks

Since you paid cash if you cancel your DSs reservation the funds must be used for a flight for your DS a year from the original booking date

Thanks for reminding me. I linked my Doordash and Lyft to CSR on but couldn’t find the Hilton/Lyft link. Looked on the app today and got it all set


DH got his CIP last week, already put $4800 on it. Got the congrats email from Chase yesterday. . Pretty sure paying mid cycle won’t be a problem. There are people on this thread who pay weekly or more often without issues.




I wonder that often...

I’m a little bummed this is being released already. I’m usually chomping at the bit to book but DSs school schedule has not been released for next year. I’d like to do a trip in September or October when there are usually a few 3 day weekends but the darn school district is so slow.

you can also do delta or JetBlue for a triple-dip also. I do delta myself.

Little update in the DISchurners aa thread. Nothing earth shattering but for those who are keeping an eye out.

I’m so shocked right now. Can’t believe this is finally over (or mostly, still no refund).

I am assuming you booked a “get away flight” and not one of the anytime or business flights?

I had a travel voucher that I used for DS’s flight home on 1/20 and even though he is now DH’s CP, I just let his 1/20 go without the CP since if I cancel I believe I’ll just get a travel credit/funds that need to be used within a year of booking. And since he is CP, he won’t get to use it.

Maybe there is something SW can do but I believe when canceling a cash flight, the credit is issued to that traveler and can’t be transferred. Maybe if you call, they have some secret methods.

And now, I‘m intrigued and might need to try DM on Twitter.

My impression is that MR are best for transferring to FF programs, and that the Schwab Plat will get you the 1.25 cpp cash out. Oh, and of course the occasional 1cpp for the 20% discount on Amazon (using just 1MR).

What about for Dishwashers??? I've heard some people like using their MRs for things such as that...

I did chat two days ago and got a FNC extended for a year. This was a FNC that a different CSR had previously told me couldn’t be extended.

Wow, I didn't know you could chat. I thought you had to call. That's great! I'm glad it worked for you the second time.

 

[SouthFayetteFan]

We use the same (it's the default from DH's employer). We invest in VIGIX. Mind sharing what you prefer to put your funds in?

6.0% - VEMPX
81.0% - VIIIX
13% - VSMAX

I'm not sure how I landed on those, but that's my breakdown lol!

Ok I'm really thinking the CP would be the best bet for us, but not sure which way to go about it. Thinking MDD since that would be lower AF but haven't heard from anyone who's been successful with that lately so it makes me a little nervous. I know we're limited here so can anyone with experience message me or post on reddit?

Lots of data point on Churning.

I was successful on 1/6-1/7.

Would someone mind posting a link to the SW change discussion on Reddit. I don't think it'll work for my flights, but I'd like to read some more detail and ask a question or two.
I'm definitely in the Reddit challenged group.
Thanks.

I hadn’t planned to do chat. I was just poking around in my account and the chat icon came up. I figured there was nothing to lose.

And for anyone else wondering what AmEx MR points are worth, AmEx has a calculator you can see without having a MR card. You select which card you'd be using and it'll show you the rates. I'm not sure why you select a card since I'm pretty sure they're fixed redemption rates, but I'm not an MR expert, maybe there's a super secret perk to a crazy card I'm not aware of Maybe I should select each card and see!

As an example, here's what booking through the portal will get you, from .07 - 1 cpp depending on what you're booking.

And I'm pretty sure this is why people view the MR program as complicated and Chase's URs are easy in comparison.

I use this for premium economy flights on delta they actually give a nice discount for cash tickets with amex platnium.

So if they're all on cash, what I'd do is cancel the cash flight for your son. Name him as your companion. Save his credit for your next flight (which can be used 12 months from when you originally booked). When that flight is over you change your companion to your wife for flights going forward and hope to have an opportunity to use your son's travel fund on a future flight.

best CSR video I've seen I like this guy is he in this thread? feels like he would fit in :0

 

[georgina]

Hagrid’s was great today. The wait time said 90 min. We got in line at 12:30 and we off by 1:10 pm. The best wait was in one of the holding rooms where it is mandatory (think similar to Gringott’s, if you have been on it). It was awesome! We just kept moving and moving and moving!

That's encouraging! 2.5 weeks until I am there! I've only ever ridden single rider so I've never been in the majority of the rooms.

You can love it but...anyway if they'd add an eyeroll emoji button that's really what I wanted to do
