Hmmm. I didn't even look at the benefits. Will have to look into that.Nice on the instant approval! I went for the card too, but had to wait 3 days. It comes with 4 PP visits that I think still includes restaurants.

We are staying at Paris. Had Comp stay for 3 nights plus no Resort Fees with Diamond status. Free flights on SW. I want to say this is a nice free trip - but my $$ will be going right into the slots and I don't anticipate me getting much of return on that (though I would be happily surprised if I was wrong...)We were planning on going Sat/Sun and coming home Monday. Now my son has a hockey tournament that weekend. I figure I'll cover Sat's games, his dad can do Sunday. So we'll likely stay Sun/Monday. We have VIP tickets to the Magician's Study I am SOOOO excited! I saw him (back row) in November. The front row gets to help w/ the tricks. It's such a small intimate show, it's AWESOME!
I used my Delta Credit to book at night at Palazzo, I'm trying to book another w/ my IHG free night. Otherwise we may switch to the Westin and use the BF's 35k FNC. He used to stay there w/ Spirit all the time.
It'll be our 3rd trip this year already, LOL. I think at this point Vegas and Cancun are our second homes.

Yes you could apply for the citi card today then the CIP in May….pretty sure Citi doesn’t report business cards on your personal credit so shouldn’t count towards x/24I'm planning to apply for a CIP in early May (last card was a CIC 1/29/24). I have tuition bills to pay so could simultaneously cover the MSR on a Citi AA Biz. Can I apply for the Citi card today and then the CIP May 1? I'm 2/24 with 1 dropping off in June, does a Citi Biz card count towards x/24?.
We went with A&K and did the Falkland Islands, South Georgia and Antarctica. I'd recommend trying to find a cruise that covers all 3 places -- who knows if / when you'll be back again and we really LOVED South George (we spent 4 days on different parts). We were on the ship for 21 days, which was a lot, but I wouldn't change the trip because it was so amazing. Speaking of ships, I'd recommend getting on a small one (under 200 passengers, but the fewer the better), so that you can navigate the smaller landing areas, the Lemaire Channel and everyone gets a decent amount of time on land.Planning for 2026. I'd like to do Antarctica. Any recommendations/personal experiences on cruise lines. I'm looking at both flying across the Drake as well as sailing. Lots to sift through as I start planning.
CongratsInstant approval for a CIP!
I've never had an instant approval for a chase biz card. So nice knowing I don't have to call the status line. Already sm'd to expedite the card.
Regarding med vac - I would also recommend checking to see if you have an Employee Assistance Plan (EAP) available through your workplace and if so, to check with your HR if Med Vac is part of it. Med vac is usually included in a lot of EAP plans. I work with our EAP vendor several times a week and the med vac is usually one of the most asked about questions.This comes up every so often- this unique medical transportation/evacuation benefit of the Amex Plat for card members and covered family members:

I am going to echo @*WDW*Groupie* on a couple of things. If you can do the longer trip that includes South Georgia and the Falkland Islands do it. I am looking at a repeat at some point because I did not get to visit SG and FI. Smaller ship is key so you can make all the landings and not have to split your time allotted for other passengers. Flying means you are subject to weather and could miss or delay your trip. Do the Drake. Ships make me seasick even when the water is like glass. We brought prescription remedies in preparation but never needed them. I was fine with Bonine everyday. It's a neat experience tbh.Planning for 2026. I'd like to do Antarctica. Any recommendations/personal experiences on cruise lines. I'm looking at both flying across the Drake as well as sailing. Lots to sift through as I start planning.
Yes. I have done this more than once. I use the 6% cash back to buy some gift cards because I don't spend $6000 a year on groceries at traditional grocery stores. They are a little sneaky about the AF after a year, seems they add it to my online statement only when it closes, so I have ended up only getting a pro-rated refund minus a month.Got an offer to upgrade my Blue Cash Everyday to BCP: $150 credit after $1K spend in 6 months. $0 intro AF.
Is that a good offer? I can keep it for a year then downgrade back to BCE, correct?
