Speaking of SW & RR, check your accounts for the recent email promo (targeted) that gives you 3k RR points for 3 months of email and 6k if you get the emails for 6 months. LINK My junk email will be getting bombarded i'm sure

My wife got the offer and I didn't when I checked a week or so ago. What BS. I bet I was somehow already signed up or something.

ETA: I was. I unsubscribed to see if I could goad it to give me the promotion.

Just the opposite. I got it and she and my kids didn't.

Looks like Southwest where you'll be better off paying cash/pay with points than transferring, but always good to have a way to keep points from expiring.

I had the same thought.

It's always disappointing for me when Chase adds a transfer program that calculates "awards" based on dollar value of the ticket/room/etc. I've found it's almost always better for me to just book at 1.5.

i researched jetblue (and virgin atlantic) due* to the membership rewards bonus things...their alliances and partnerships

i found nada worthwhile.


at least for someone flying from the state of texas

Chase bonus waiting period goes from 24 months to 48 months

quote:

Now, the issuer has quietly updated its offer terms to extend that period on applications for the Chase Sapphire Reserve to once every 48 months, instead of the previous 24 months, and on some instances of the Chase Sapphire Preferred application as well.




It was only a matter of time. CSR is not a card I planned to churn but it’s just a bad trend in general.

speaking of churning..
does anyone use plastiq to pay rent/mortages, etc?


considering points can be worth up to $.28 on 1st class long hauls...that 2.5% charge for plastiq isnt looking too bad

The 2.5% is too high for me, but I do use my Amex BB+ to pay my taxes online at 1.87% which works out to a profit and a good chunk of easy points.

It was worth it when a multiplier attached to it, like when it coded as Lodging for 3x travel on Reserve.

Ya, bummer news.

They are pushing me to really forget about 5/24 and really hammer other banks. I was pretty much done with my second round through Chase so I can just keep those open for regular expenses.

The economy is doing well. When things turn South again the deals will come back.

That 48 mo. change coming right at the 2 year mark will spoil many plans to ditch and re-up the CSR. Hope this isn't a sign of things to come!

Maybe someone can clarify - is this new 48mo rule only for the CSR (if you've had it previously)? Next month will be 2yrs that I've had the CSP and I never had a CSR. I was planning to ditch the CSP and get the CSR soon. Is that still possible or does this apply to having either sapphire card?

Yes, that's the highest offer you can receive for that card.

Exact same boat for me. Looks like I'm just going to hope the SW companion pass deal comes back through and then effectively give up on Chase

Yep. And by coincidence I got CSR "Year in Review" email today


@geauxcats10 That's the offer you want on that card.
And WTF happened to that thumb baw?
