Is the csr still a good value, I missed out on the 100k points last year. I currently only have an amazon card.
Yes, but only if you will comfortably use your $300 travel credit every year. Tack on $20 per year value for Global Entry, and now you're down to $130 in annual fee. Between the triple points for travel and dining and the 50% travel redemption bonus, I see no reason to carry a Preferred in order to save $35 per year.

If I have already hit Chase's 5/24, what are my odds of getting approved for their IHG and Southwest cards?
I've already done Bank of America, Barclaycard, Chase Hyatt, Sapphire Preferred..what's left?
I haven't applied for any cards since last August.
Looking to take a couple of short trips this fall. Denver and Seattle, possibly.
TIA

I thought if you were at 5/24 you were done for chase cards?

I've heard that, but I've also heard that you can still get some of their partner cards, like Southwest, IHG, Hyatt, after 5/24.
I'm looking at a Delta card, United, Citi Thank You..I don't want to waste credit pulls on Chase if I'm going to get denied due to 5/24. Chase has the Marriott card too..why does Chase have to own everything?!

I think that there are some partner branded cards that are supposed to be excepted from the 5/24 policy (maybe Hyatt? not certain).

Chase Freedom 5x's categories are officially out. The poster before was correct, restaurants and movie theaters.
This should be pretty easy to max out with the dining portion. Mainly with my monthly bar tab

So should I use my freedom for dining this month instead of my CSR and just transfer the points over once I max out the category?

Absolutely. 5x's rather than 3x's.
Kinda sucks that it overlaps though.

I'll just suck at trying to remember to use the correct card.

Apparently Chase Hyatt will have sign up bonus of 40k Hyatt points instead of the 2 free nights.
Starting 6/29! Guess I'll have to jump on this soon before it changes.

As a technical matter, it's functionally a reduction from 60k points to 40k, which isn't massive. Obviously still less than ideal, however .

All the bloggers fail to mention that the 2 hyatt free nights is a steal for Hyatt all inclusives. It allows 4 guests free of charge per room. Wife and I went with our daughter and a niece to Ziva Cancun in April and it was awesome. Would have cost over $1500 per night and we stayed 4 nights with two cards.
Switching to points will screw that up as it will only be good for two peeps.
- Not even two people. Ziva Cancun is 25k pts per night for two

I'd pay the $35 just for the lounge access + quick customer service
I get an immediate rep for CS everytime I've called thenumber in

He's saying compared to Reserve, there is no reason to hold a Preferred

Probably should have clarified that I was saying I easily am break even with the preferred before factoring in the 1.5x booking bonus

I've probably already spent $5,000 on travel and dining this year
And your math assumes solely using points via travel redemption, which strikes me as a bit disingenuous. Which, coincidentally, I type while lying in bed at a Hyatt I booked via point transfer.
