Since it sounds like you qualify as a private client, the rules don't really apply to you

So, is there a rotation of GC purchases at office supply stores that you guys follow? Is it only at office supply stores that the Ink applies the 5X?


Fun fact: Got the CSR last week myself, plastic card. Applied for the wife on Sunday, got approved, her card arrived yesterday and it was the metal one. When I opened it, I thought she got a dummy card because the numbers on the card weren't on the front, but on the back.

No, I think there was a note in there that they would ship one when they were available again. Since my wife's was metal, I'm guessing they are available now.

My wife got a metal card in today but I haven't received my replacement metal card yet


I don't really care, but just noting. I applied for her to get the freedom the same day and haven't got that card yet.

Really want to apply for the reserve. but I know I won't spend $4000 in 3 months. Nor should I right now.



ETA: I got the promotion in the mail for the Freedom Unlimited card last week, but misplaced it. Was reading that if you receiver the offer in the mail then you can bypass the 5/24 rule. Going to head into a Chase branch and see if they'll honor that even if I don't have the promotion invitation number in hand.

Do your Christmas shopping now and put it in a closet and take Chase $1500 in travel or $1000 cash back

Yeah, I debated getting the 2nd one in my wife's name, which puts us at $8K to spend. I knew I was booking a vacation so that would take up 1/3 of it, but I'm going to have to manufacture some spending between now and mid November.

I will be using my priority pass (via CSR) tomorrow for the first time on my way to Dubai. I will go through JFK on the way there and San Fran on the way back. Advice on the best ones at those 3 airports?

What are the rules regarding guests with priority pass? It seems like you pay $30 per guest but that the CSR claims you can bring guests free? Does CSR reimburse you after the fact? If so, how many guests?

Download Lounge Buddy app to read reviews and descriptions.

AFAIK, it is unlimited free guests with CSR. No reimbursement. You just never get charged for it. Don't forget your Priority Pass membership card.

Just used my IHG card and my wife's IHG card free nights for a couple nights at the Willard in DC. Not bad turning $100 combined of annual fee for two nights at $550 each, $1100 total.

That is the only reason we keep the IHG card. The $49 annual fee and free night anywhere in the world is hard to beat

I'm keeping my Hyatt card for that reason. I easily get the value of the AF from the free night.


Are there limits on the IHG card nights?

SPG to Marriot 1:3 (and vice-versa) is live. Very good deal.

Edit: Instant status match and instant point transfer.

Just to put things in perspective: 80K SPG used to be 100K AA. Now 84K SPG = 7 nights at Cat 1-5 Marriott + 100K AA through Marriott nights and flights. Or 100K SW and you are 10K away from CP.

I keep the IHG card as well. I have received great benefits out of this card. I stayed 4 nights at the hotel indigo in Rome for practically free based on sign up points from my card and my wife's. I am now using the anniversary free night from both our cards to book the Venetian in Vegas. I really really like the card especially with a 49 dollar annual fee.
