Is there a way to check what the minimum spend was when I signed up, or has it always been that?
Itās been $7500 for at least a year now.I signed up for a Chase Ink Biz Cash on Feb 23. I thought the MS was $3k or $4K for the 75k point, but I can't find anywhere that says what it was when I signed up and the current offer requires $7500.
Iām a big believer in diversifying point currencies. I remember when Disney was pulled from Chase, I remember the AApocalypseā¦ I now feel ancient and sad and donāt want to remember anymore
Anywho I cannot imagine all my eggs in one basket after getting hit by both of those myself. Nobody fathomed AA shutting down accounts and cancelling tickets mid-trip until it happened. Nobody foresaw that Chase would specifically ban Disney from their travel booking.
AF burnout is real, very good point. At the end of the day if something happens and you donāt hit the MSR youāre still out the AF so it adds another layer of stress vs missing the MSR on a no AF card.
If you go for the Venture X, how much longer before you fall back under 5/24? If it's sometime next year then I guess I would skip it. But if you would be back at under 5/24 in just a few months, I would be inclined to go for it before the big signup goes away. I'm thinking of getting DH a Venture X before the 14th and that will put him at 5/24 until June, but that's not so far away at this point in my view. I'm kind of meh about putting actual spend on this card long term though since it only gets 2% on everything so whether or not I'll hold onto it is a bit of a question mark, and that's my hesitation about trying for one for DH.
That really sucked for everyone that had tickets canceled.I remember the AApocalypseā¦ I now feel ancient and sad and donāt want to remember anymore
Maybe but the blow up started holidays 2019 and rolled right through until about Covid kicking off so I think odds are better the availability of award space now has more to do with changes in travel demand stemming from the pandemic than trAAin riders being derailed.
I would be 5/24 for about 6 months. I'd kind of like to try to squeeze in a CIU/CIC app at right about the same time, but that's pushing my velocity with Chase. I'm also really interested to see what the SUB is on the IHG biz card, but that doesn't launch until 3/24. My timing just is not lining up. I am not usually indecisive.
No DH isn't actually staying..... I don't need any credits under his acct, I think I'll do the call anyway tho-thanks
Yeah, you are probably right. My situation also probably had to do with the strict COVID restrictions Frances had in place. I think I snuck in my purchase just in time, I booked a couple of days after France announced their changes.
Noticed a new Amex Offer - 5% back on insurance payments up to $15. I only see it on personal cards.
Working on AU/retention bonuses and was going to pay insurance anyways. Works out.
Found the same, when trying to meet an AMEX MSRI've had this before and was so excited only to find out Progressive doesn't take Amex.
Weāve used Preflight parking. Good bus to the terminals. On return, they pick up at the bus center. A little inconvenient but better than the ORD lots.
The due date of the AF doesnāt change when you upgrade/downgrade. Amex will do fancy math at some point after the change and do a prorated refund of the old AF for the months you didnāt use and a prorated charge of the new AF for months you had the ānewā card. The full new AF will be charged once you hit the accountās originally established renewal date.
