Dh earned over 11000 Hyatt points on his last work stay! If anyone is paying to stay at a Hyatt anytime soon, make sure you register for their promotion. Earn double or triple points. I think you have to stay once, then it earns on 2nd stay. This will work out nicely for us, he has 3 big Hyatt stays during this promotion. And he had a 1 night stay to begin with.

His breakdown was - $537 qualified spend -
2,685 base points
537 20% bonus as Explorist
5370 - bonus points - Earn triple points at a Hyatt Place
Total Bill after tax was - $628.29 Because his work visa was declined he put it on our Hyatt Card
2513 points from that

Total Hyatt points - 11,105.

...aaaaannnnnnddddd I screwed that up nicely!!!! I just ordered a HUGE amazon order yesterday I need to pay more attention

you get offers on your CIP???? I get 0 offers on that

No we don’t get offers on our CIP. We just used it because we’re trying to hit the MSR. The offer at staples was with our Amex BBP

I love the vanilla ones. Target sometimes sells bags of vanilla alone. So good!

Mmmmm. I don't like the other flavors, I'll have to watch for this!

I used to like the vanilla ones more when I was little but now don’t like them as much. I like the pack of fruity tootsie rolls though.

I always find and hoard some vanilla ones when the Halloween candy comes out at Target! I don't like getting TOO many because I don't want hard Tootsie Rolls.

Hard tootsie rolls are the worst. I think I like tootsie rolls so much because we got them a lot as kids. Our dry cleaner always gave them out and my grandparents always had a bowl in their house. My dad even had a coin bank that was a giant tootsie roll

(I think any flavor Tootsie Rolls are )

Hilton question. How does a free weekend night work with the 5th night free? Can you essentially pay for 4 nights with points and get 6?

 

[LilSweetPeaPhoto]

I got out of popup hell! I just applied for the Hilton Biz as I have no spends I'm meeting right now. And I can only do Biz cards waiting to hit 5/24 next month! The bummer part is the new offer is 5k less points, but also no free night upon hitting the MSR. I have to do the $15k to hit it. UGH. This will be a one year and out card. I'm grandfathered into the surpass that has the free anny night and the free night at $15k. I need to start doing better at keeping track of those kinda things and try to hit them when I'm not meeting a spend.

Question, for cards like the Hilton and the AA cards where you get perks after a certain spend ($99 companion flight, or free hotel night), am I missing it on the website? Do they keep track anywhere, or is on you?

Anyone who has one of those great spreadsheets w/ all the perks made care to share with me? I really need to make a better way to track all of this!

So looks like I have a $3k spend to hit. I'll try to not race through it to piss off Amex again. But all my slots are currently filled, and I really only have 1 that is a rotational one at this point, LOL.

I think if you book as 2 seperate yes. Book your 5th night free and then book the free night.

soooo ds and I went to check his credit karma score...page pops up that says- 'transunion can't show you anything' then I go to acct page- shows nothing- when I click on show accounts (he has two cc's) it says account can't be accessed. yet I can see his score from last year when he got his first cc. (2018) it's 791 from back then- yet ck is only showing transunion and no info...no other score sites...what should we do now? I put in a help request thru ck..... should we go to each site and look?

What strategy did you use to get out of pop up jail?

Well I guess this is a GREAT point. When do we think the 50th anniversary stuff will begin. I just assumed Jan 1, 2021. Maybe that was the wrong assumption. What does the hive mind think?

I felt like DLR made their 60th last for like 18mos. I’m sure I’m remembering wrong

Yeah, Wegman's has all of the flavors in their bulk candy and I sometimes pick through them to get some vanillas but they are hard. Same with the Kraft caramels. Makes me so mad!

It was still going on when I was there in January 2016 with the castle fully decorated and everything

I was gonna say, we were there in July 2016 lol

 

[amalone1013]

I just missed a call from an unknown number, but at least it's local this time! And they left a voicemail! So I got my hopes up about the job apps I sent out so far... no, I'm due for a doctor's appointment...

 

[GlamMistress]

Ok. The actual anniversary was Feb 21 2016 according to Google.

So, if MK is Oct 1, 2021, we can maybe expect 6-7 mos before and after..? If they follow what DLR did.

So, to recap...I applied for my dh the barclay aviator biz for the third time about 8 biz days ago. He's been denied twice now. First time they sent snail mail asking for verifification docs. Sent those back very next day, never heard from them again. Next time, he was auto-denied. So, today they CALLED him! And he answered.... They grilled him about his "business" that he doesn't even know much about. He's not happy with me right now....Like REALLY not happy with me....

BUT he got approved! With a whopping $650 CL

So I accidentally made a personal purchase on my business card. (I booked flights). I own the business so it's not like it would be a big deal with the company. But is that going to be an issue with Chase or anything? I'm going to pay the company back from my personal account. But I've heard some people have run into issues with this before. Help!
