Ya, that way you have it in hand for January.

Ideal scenario is to put all spend required in a few days in January so the spend counts towards the pass as well if needed.

However this is all predicated on when bonuses are offered and discontinued, which dates seem to vary.

Yeah, I may go for the CP this time around since HI flights should be starting in early 19.

Just saw an email from Marriott that the date is Aug 18th for programs to be combined. What are you guys doing with your points? I took the 100k offer for the Marriott card and have about 130k worth of Marriott (45k SPG) once I swap SPG over so 230k and I can do a nights and flights package before they change them for the worse. Not sure if I will as the Category of the hotels also change on Aug 18 so a Cat 7 cert will likely get you a Cat 5 in the new program which is still very nice but not what I'm looking for necessarily. I guess it's good for someone who wants miles at a great rate more than anything.

If my wife already has a personal SW credit card (she’s had it for like 5 years), can she get the new one with the 65,000 point bonus?

Secondly, I’m an additional user on her card, so can I get the new one? Do I cancel first then get it?

The clearly waited until past mid year to give out this bonus to make it more difficult to get the awards (apparently the promotion ends 8/22).

Any thoughts on this situation?
