    BA charges by segment, so you can just book the 2 flights separately. It should cost the same as booking it as a connection, unless there's a peak/non-peak difference for the dates.

    @FreeDiningFanatic Just a note that your screenshot has last 4 of your cc.

    The primary driver needs to use a cc in their name. You could make yourself primary and use your CSR. Make your DH an additional driver and he would be covered.

    The only one I knew about was Wynn, but I think that one requires 2 separate stays. Maybe next time!

    The award ticket will be completely refundable, so comparing to the refundable cash price might be more apples to apples. Is that cash price the basic economy price where you can't change it at all or the regular economy where you'd get travel fund that expires in a year? Depends how much you...

    Thanks for the DP! I was denied at 4 open Inks. Will try again at 3. I suspect the dollar amount of the CL matters too, but I don't know how low is low enough. The public offer on the BCP is $250. Best was $350 and waived AF. Takes up a 5/24 spot, so not something I've gone for. You might...

    Sorry about the denial. How many open Inks, open Chase biz cards, total Chase CL both personal and biz? These are the things I'm suspecting affect approval now.

    It was thought to be 7 years (or less) after you close the card. But now that lifetime language is "may not", I don't really know what that means anymore. Plus they've added family language to some cards. On the green, it's if you've had the gold or plat. On the gold, it's if you've had the...

    Is it on a biz gold by chance? Those points don't show up until statement end since it's top 2 categories. If that's not it, do the points for other transactions show up? I haven't seen anything about taxes no longer working. There can be lags and glitches with Amex, but I don't think it has...

    I'm confused. Why do you think it won't count?

    Did you do the charge using an instant card number? It's not even the taxes per se, but reps will use that as the excuse. How long has it been since you met the MSR?

    Just want to add that the advantage of the card is to spend towards status since it gives more elite nights per spend than the personal card. But if that's not the goal, CIU/CIC has the better SUB and no AF.

    Tokyo 3 Day Itinerary

    I'm a big fan of the delivery services in Japan. They're inexpensive and reliable. You might want to think about sending your luggage to Nagasaki or if it's a short stop maybe to the stop after that. It usually gets there the next day, unless it's further like Okinawa or Hokkaido. Then you...

    I plan to look into that, but I got the card for Vegas thinking we'd save $400 (turned out to be $180). I'm not sure if the cruise offers will work for us though being tied to the school schedule. Plus I tend to be picky about the ship and itinerary.

    Back from Vegas where we stayed at the Hilton Elara on timeshare exchange. This is the trip that I wanted the painful Wyndham biz card for. Caesar's status match turned out to be painless. Wyndham Diamond showed up the day after approval and Caesar's match only took 6 days. I didn't end up...

    Been awhile for me too, but I was able to do it via SM last time.

    I wondered about this too. You can use it internationally as long as the hotel accepts Amex. There's no foreign transaction fee. From the card holder terms: "How are transactions made in foreign currencies processed?If you make a purchase at an establishment in a foreign currency, it will be...

    It's increasing if your renewal date is on or after July 1. The new credit should be active, so I bought Hilton GC on both mine and DH's cards to use up this quarter's credit. 🤞 it works. There probably isn't enough time to wait for DPs this quarter. Our AFs are coming up next month. I'd...
