I love credit cards so much!

"You will be notified in writing within 30 days." Doesn't sound good! Thanks for the number!

I had the same message and was approved with "business" income of $500. I waited (im)patiently. No way I was calling in, lol. I was pleasantly surprised it was approved and got the card in the mail!

I am so jealous of this California SW offer! I know DOC says it's not that great since it's only for one year but many of us cannot get both SW cards to get CP. I was able to get a SW premier recently but I'm not eligible for the Plus bonus until next year and am over 5/24 so no SW biz. I'd love to get CP even for a year!

Any CA residents able to jump on this?

So for the first time in 5-6 months I am not satisfying spending requirements. And I guess for that reason i feel that the bills I used to satisfy are of no use to putting on the cc. I guess I will put them on my CFU. Until I can apply for a CSR which isn't until next June.

Just feeling lost without spending requirements...if that makes sense..

I have not been without a minimum spend since March 2015...I don't think I'd know what to do with myself in that scenario, I would be utterly lost.

I'm there right now also. I am not out of 5/24 until next June. My dh only has until Dec and I'm going to try to get him a CIP. Until then though, I'm just twiddling my thumbs

I think I have a new goal to work toward on my travel hacking. We are planning a trip to Europe in the summer of 2019 and I was looking around the Delta website and saw these seats.

How nice would it be to fly over to Europe in this set up? Probably would take around 900,000 points though. I guess I better start saving up.

that comes pretty standard on many non-American airlines... you might get a better redemption else where... ie Lufthansa, the 3 mid east airlines that passes through, etc...
i also heard Delta One products, they charge a crap ton of fees on it too... but it might only apply to their A350s only right now. Im not too sure about it.

Good to know. We are a long way out from our trip, so lots of time to research!

This is a timely article...if you're looking at United, don't be fooled by the "Polaris" business class moniker.

Thanks, will keep all of this in mind!

We got the chase ink a few months ago and had the same 30-day email and it definitely didn't take the full 30 days- good luck! I am waiting for them to tell me the salon and nail expenses aren't farm work expenses, but haven't heard that yet, haha.

They're TOTALLY farm work expenses!

Today I learned that I can shop through the Chase shopping portal and get bonus points added to my Freedom Unlimited account even though I paid with my Hyatt card.

Cool.

Here's my current problem... as I wait for my SPG Biz, the only minimum spend I have to meet is for my CFU. I'm about halfway through the $500 and have almost two months left. I'm not worried about meeting it, I'm just having trouble getting it over with, for lack of a better term, because I keep using other cards to maximize my points when I buy things. Like, if I get something from the vending machine at work, I use my CSR because it codes as dining... because 1.5 points vs 3 points will make a huge difference on my $0.75 charge lol. Or I spent about $50 at Target the other day, and debated for a moment before pulling out my Discover card.

I don't know if I could go 5-6 months without spending requirements. 2 -3 months is about all I can stand and then I'm looking for another card LOL

It's like withdrawal. Caffeine, alcohol, cc spend.

How does the Discover IT work? I am constantly looking for ways to cut down cost of cruises. I have a Discover. Must
be an old version as i have had it around 8 years. It's been a sock drawer until this Q4 bonus catagories.

1% cashback on everything, quarterly bonus categories with 5% cashback. The best part is they double your cashback, no limit, for the first year you have a new card. Discover is nice in that you can use the cashback on Amazon or get gift cards thru Discover, apply credit to your your statement or just deposit the cash back in your bank account. I especially like the last one for a cruise which I'm likely to pay with a card other than Discover.
