UGH! I can not score VGC or MCGC at any Staples near me anymore. I mean I went Sunday at noon to one, and today at noon to another one and none to be found. Normally I hate the Staple GCs but w/ the new CIC, I wouldn't mind the 5x on cards I'd use on my taxes. Worse case I'm using the card on my taxes, I just won't be getting 5x. So I guess I need to hope for OD to do a card deal again.
Also I wasn't thinking about the fact the CIC comes w/ 0% for a year. The ex isn't too keen on braces for 2 in the next 16-20 mos. I put the down payment on my CIC#2 (from last year) so there are still a few months of 0% left. So I know the ex was happy about that. So I told him, he'll have some flexibility w/ paying off the monthly charges too, LOL.
My CIC #2, just was given a CL increase to $7k. Can I move some of that to the new CIC#3 so it can hit the MSR?

UC isn't middle of nowhere. I meant no hotels walking distance, there are a few restaurants. But it's not an area I'd be walking around at night.
I'm hearing from others Chicago is not what it was even 2 years ago, which makes me sad I'm guessing it will likely be just me and my 17yo. So I'm not sure if I'll walk/uber w/ her to the show. For BTS in Vegas I walked her to the venue, then went to Mandalay Bay to wait and walked back to get her, LOL.We saw Pink there 9 years ago and it made me nervous walking around down there. Dh thought it would get us a cab faster If we walked a few blocks away. Eek. Didn’t enjoy that at all at midnight.
I can't complain, we lost $20 on the NYC ticket, but made $600 on the Chicago tickets we sold already, LOL. And yes, the outfit is definitely a process! My 17yo is VERY into her concert outfits. Even when she went to New Kids with me this summer. She was more concerned how she looked than I was, LOL. Which show are you doing? She decided she was okay w/ me selling the tickets we have for 10/9. In exchange she bartered for a trip to TX to see him w/ her BFF. Her BFF's family bought them pit so she's over the moon!!!Ugh. I hope it works out. I just sold my extra 2 tickets slightly over face value. I probably could have gotten more, but I wanted them sold and I wasn't doing it for the profit. My oldest is going to a Chicago show. My youngest, myself and friends are going together. Our biggest issue is deciding what to wear, I did not realize what I was getting into lol
I just got approved for CIC#3, LOL.I currently have 3 chase business cards -
CIC (originally CIP) - had since 12/16
CIU (originally CIP) - had since 5/19
CIC - had since 1/25/22
If I had DH refer me for another (probably) CIC, should I close one of those first? I do have current charges on all of them if that matters.
I've used the PP lounges anyone there is one or other privileges. DTW has a PP lounge but I feel it's sooo lame! I keep wondering if it's from Covid. It's newer. I've used the minute suites in CLT. I've done the lounge in Vegas, which is way better since they got the new bigger one. I've used the lounge in CHS which was brand new. In FLL I've used the food credit. I see it as a "free" perk anyways, so I often check out the lounges. If for nothing else than a free bottle of water, LOL.All the talk of Priority Pass has me wondering (since it comes with the Venture X)... I got the impression that PP was actually sort of a pain. I've looked at their website and I don't believe there is one at PHX
Did there used to be a benefit where you could get some sort of credit in an airport restaurant with PP, or am I just imagining it?
UGH! I've wanted to churn the Biz (I have it open right now, but I opened it back in 2020). I closed the personal card back in Sept 21 when the AF posted. I was going to close the Biz card now that my AA travel for the summer is done. But now I'm wondering if I hang onto it. I can't get the personal again, as I'm trying to stay under /24 to do the MDD.Barclays AA Aviator Biz DP:
Opened 8/20/20
Closed 8/20/21
Applied 8/19/22
Denied 8/22/22
Application went pending. Missed a phone call yesterday from Barclays. Called just now to be told that since I voluntarily closed the card last year I’m not eligible for another card until 24 months from cancellation. Disappointed, and wish Barclays was more consistent with their approvals and timelines for reapplying.
