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?

Getting ready to book a trip to disney through mydisneyexperience.com. I can't find any info if this would qualify as a travel purchase with my sapphire reserve, or if I should use my freedom unlimited instead. Anyone know?

No retention offers on the Reserve right now. Boo, hiss.

I'll put well over 20k on CSP and they won't flinch.

I'm sure I'd have to put 100k on it to catch a second thought.

I knew it was unlikely, but I also knew I would be on and off the phone in less than five minutes, so it was worth a shot

Can anyone give me some quick guidance on how to time my new SW credit cards for points for early in 2019. I’m going for a companion pass in 2019 (earn it in 2019 so that I can keep it in 2020). I plan on getting the 40,000 point bonus after spending $1,000 on a personal one and then getting 60,000 after spending $3,000 on a business one. I want to get the cards (or at least 1) this year for Christmas shopping but to get the bonus in 2020.

Let’s say I go for the business one. How long does it typically take to get approved and get the actual card? (Days, weeks, a month or two)?

Then when do you get the points? Let’s say I get the card in November and spend $3000 by December? So I get the points right when I pay? Do I get the points at the 3 month mark?

Thanks in advance!

Haven’t seen it posted yet, but Chase just changed their Sapphire sign up to no new cards within 48 months...

I am pissed at Chase right now. Their reps fricked me back in Sept when trying to sign back up for the Reserve card and now I am royally fricked with the new 48 month rule.

I’m waiting on a call back from a Manager. I was told I had to cancel my Sapphire Preferred before being able to get the Reserve and that isn’t the case, I could have converted to the Reserve and forgone the 50k signup. Really just wanted the 50% bonus on points and the 3xs on dining and travel.

I guess Amex Platinum will be in my future once again.

Teddy, what are the hot cards right now...

Like the 60k with Amex Platinum, but 5k spends in 3 months is steep

So I’ve got about 180,000 accumulated on my CSR now, we fly United whenever we vacation. Should I go ahead and transfer these over to United as miles? It’s 1:1 right?
