    Long time lurker. I have a question about paying off a furnace/AC loan with Plastiq and maybe the best card to use. It will be just under $10,000. I would only use plastiq here to take advantage of a bonus on a new card. But I'm a bit worried about sending that large of an amount. I have a...

    that was good advice from some of the others. but my 2 cents is... but only on this particular card. I did waste a 5/24 slot with the Amazon card just because of the ease of use. True about amazon gift card etc. but that was always an extra trip out of my way. I just have my amazon card attached...

    I had to laugh also. I label the cards for my wife. Problem is when We are meeting an MSR and she will pull out the labelled card even though I tell her everything should be the new card. But it does get complicated sometimes..

    Sorry this happened..very stressful. I have had this happen a few times. Even when dropped at the counter. Show item was received by post office but never scanned from there. till customer emailed and said they received it. But I have been lucky they havent lost any packages yet. Good luck.

    Thank You. That would work but I don't have the reserve,sorry I wasnt clear. And actually I called and I can't buy them as a package through the portal. but if I go into the portal I can book the hotel and then the tickets separately in the things to do page. Not quite as good a deal but still...

    am I correct that if I want to book a universal hotel and ticket package and use chase sapphire UR points. I should book the trip through universal then call chase to use UR's. Since I cant find the package when looking through the portal. Thanks in advance for the help. This trip is another...

    I love this thread but I'm always so behind.... 1) When did you begin churning? Feb 2016. While attempting to afford a trip to Disney World, signed up for the Disney Visa.($200 bonus). Then found DISBOARDS and started the Southwest cards. 2) Are you in 1 player mode or 2 player mode? 2 player...

    When we went in May, I happened to log up on 64 day mark and it allowed me to start booking FP (some type of happy glitch). I was so stressed expecting them to go away once it hit 60. but it worked out fine. Ive always had good luck with FP, but I always go in expecting problems even though I...

    roundabout Serve question. I have used Visa at Office Supply Stores for Serve. Now I need to meet a MS on a Hilton American Express. It seems I remember something about not to buy gift cards at Office Supply Stores with an AE, is that true or was it just the voices in my head. Thanks.

    I don't know if anyone has mentioned this but I use awardwallet. It keeps track of both mine and my wife's reward points and when they expire. Southwest doesn't track automatically but everything else does. And it is free. it has a premium version also but Ive been using the free version for a...

    that game was tough for us Husker fans. I remember alot of fumbles and a couple safeties. Jake Plummer had a banner day. Scott Frost and Ahman Green not so much. Husker fans not used to getting beat let alone shut out back then. Unfortunatly, we have gotten used to it now, but hoping for better...

    we have the same situation. Main floor, folding doors, I built a shelf and have laundry baskets underneath, but I like them higher so I dont have to reach down to change clothes, which it sounds like you would not like. I do sometimes keep washer door cracked. But I will about once a week just...
