Loved reading everyones 2019..travel and churning plans....ours aren’t fully planned out yet..but here is what I think they will be
Right now we are in Orlando visiting our son for Christmas.(also 2 days visiting WDW before our passes are blocked for the holidays)12/18-12/24....arrived yesterday on SW...few on points and with the CP...for thoses who are looking to apply for the 50,000 SW personal offer....I was able to get on the SW WiFi while still at the gate in ISP...the offer scrolls through on the top of the page is for the Priority card, but when you click on it...you can apply for the Plus or Priority..same 50,000RR point offer
Staying at BLT..using our DVCpoints12/18...room was ready at 10:30am
...this morning we move to Wyndham Bonnet Creek..paid for with URs..book with my CSR..aprox 85,000URs for a 2BR...5 nights.
2019...Continue visiting our son...in Orlando...and WDW
March .....Marriott Grand Vista...booked with URs...flying SW...RR points & CP
September 20-25...Marriott Lakeshore Reserve 9/20-22... URs...BWV 9/22-25..DVC ...Fly SW RRs and CP
December...stay at Wilderness Lodge..DVC...fly SW
We are going to try for a weekend trip to Nashville or New Orleans...
Churning plans.......we will both stay under 5/24...hopefully the CP requirements will stay the same..I can apply again in 1/20...if Chase adds the 48 month language to SW cards, Then DH will apply for SW cards to get it.
We both applied for our first Amex cards ...SPG business....after reading about your redemptions in NYC, we live on LI so those points/ free nights could be used there or elsewhere....still learning about their programs...so not sure what other Amex cards we will get...but think it will be the BBP
Will continue to get the remaining Chase cards we don’t have..CIU, CF and CFU....now reading about the 2nd EIN CIP...will have to plan an application when our insurance is due. Since we started this journey last May will evaluate each card as annual fees come due...definite keepers are the CSR, one CIC...will cancel DHs CSP, my SW. business after points post..in anticipation of a new CP in 2020
Really appreciate all the help and guidance I’ve received here...I know my travels ....are baby travel plans compared to most but it wasn’t for you guys I’d only be able to use our DVC for stays and would be paying cash for the rest.
So Thank You All
Edit...to add if anyone has any questions about Wyndham Bonnet Creek just let me know and I’ll try to answer while we are there...
