But I definitely can't wander around a train station here, and now that I think about it, very few pedestrians around here!I would just not go to Disney. You’ve been before & will go again, I’m assuming. 2022+ would be better.
Though my personal ranking would be something like...
1. Family
2. Cultural & historical sites
3. Things you can’t do at home
4. Disney
100. Aimlessly wander around a train station & watch people cross the street
CIP Insta-pproval
I use separate emails for personal and biz. On the approval page where it has select if you want emailed statements, etc it had my personal email listed, not the business email which I did use on the app. Just an interesting, curious observation. I was incognito and not logged into my acct.
They’re not typically as crowded as Candlelight Processionals and you have a better chance with standby. I think it also really depends on who you want to see out of the lineup.Have any of you been to a concert during flower and garden? Is a dining package necessary?
I fell into that HOLE didn't eye I don't really have an opinion one weigh or the other as to the Muppets but will side with Haley because she's nicer.You're confused by the hole? I can catch you up...
First Haley started trashing the muppets...
Then she self-banned herself because she realized she had committed high treason against America's greatest patriot:

So we sent her to the new Shun Hole...
Then she lost her way yet again...refused to go in the hole after trashing the muppets again...so somebody pushed her in...wasn't me!!
I have been to a few of them every year for the last 3 or 4 years and have never had a dining package. Perhaps I wasn’t at the most popular ones or I just got lucky. The only one that I actually stood in line for was Dennis DeYoung, The rest we just walked in and sat down. I will be there in March and plan to go to Starship, not sure about Simple Plan. Wish Daughtry was playing when I am going.Have any of you been to a concert during flower and garden? Is a dining package necessary?
I know those of you here will understand my pain.
Because I had to cut 4-5 days off my Japan itinerary due to flight availability dates, I am actually considering NOT going to Tokyo Disney AT ALL. There are so many things we want to see and I have only about 9 days in which to see them.
I am so sad.
I had originally planned 3 days TDR, 3-4 in Tokyo proper, and the remainder in Kyoto.
Uggggghhhhhhhhhhh
I think it was about 5 days for me last time I did that.How long does it take to get a refund of the deposit from Swan after you cancel a booking?
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!!It’s going to be a Good Friday! They’re finally here! 122k glorious SW points to go with the 4.8k which means CP here we come! I can’t add DS yet but should be able to shortly since it says complete. I think I deserve a cocktail at HH this afternoon. Thank you for your patience with my obsession this week!
Congratulations! So glad they finally posted for you!It’s going to be a Good Friday! They’re finally here! 122k glorious SW points to go with the 4.8k which means CP here we come! I can’t add DS yet but should be able to shortly since it says complete. I think I deserve a cocktail at HH this afternoon. Thank you for your patience with my obsession this week!
I have never been to Japan but my niece went to school in Osaka for one semester while in college ( she minored in Japanese) She was also looking into a program to go back again to live there for a year called Jet. Interesting and exciting opportunity for a young adult.Hahaha this is basically my exact June trip! 4 nights in Tokyo, 2 nights in Osaka, and 3 nights at Tokyo Disney. We’ll do one day at DL and one day at DisneySea and fly out the last day.
That is a great feeling!Woke up to to my swa points so now I’ve earned the CP! Now to cancel DDs ticket and book as my companion.
All of that being said 2 questions
1. By “we” do you mean you and your partner are both on the cards? We generally recommend avoiding that as it adds to your 5/24 count. You are at 2/24 right now and you could EACH get a sapphire and combine your UR as chase allows sharing between households.
2. Are you open to business cards? The CIP is a Chase biz card with a 80k sign up bonus and will NOT add to your 5/24 count.

Totally new to this and not sure if I'll be able to keep up with the thread pace, but worth a try... Any suggestions and advice welcome. Posting info mentioned on pg1, but let me know if other info would be helpful.
Current Cards that we've had for years--
Chase Freedom (use for regular spending)
Chase Disney (don't really use much because the rewards are pointless)
Recent ones we have opened--
03/19 Ikea Projekt
03/19 Lowes
*There's a "You're already approved" message for the Chase Sapphire Preferred (60,000 bonus points) plus an offer for $600 for Chase checking and savings that I noticed when I logged into my Chase account.
- What amount of spend would you put on a card monthly? $2000 regular expenses-- could increase if we used cards to pay bills (I usually pay utilities and things from my bank account). More when we are using for home renovations or travel.
- Do you currently payoff your CCs in full every month or do you carry any balances/pay any interest? Never paid one penny of interest
- What airport(s) do you typically fly out of? Charlotte, Greensboro, Raleigh
- Do you have a preference of Frequent Flyer program? No
- Does SOUTHWEST Airline service your airport? Yes, I think
- Do you have a Hotel Rewards program preference? No
- Do you currently have travel points or miles in any program? (if so, which programs and how much) Just flew on American Airlines for Christmas. No other points accrued.
- Who does your travel party consist of? Depends on trip-- either just me and spouse or also two teens, occasionally adult daughter as well
- What at your specific goals for churning credit cards? (i.e. Disney World Trip, Cruise, European Trip, Cash Back to pay-off a mortgage or student loans, etc. - you can have multiple goals too!) Cash and Travel. Within the last year we have drastically reduced our expenses (downsized by half) and increased our income. We are saving a lot, but another motivator for making the change was being able to travel more.
- When do you plan to take these trips? (Keep in mind that it can be difficult to earn points/miles to cover imminent travel...it's best to plan far in advance, especially with regards to international travel) We are planning a family trip to the NW (Washington, Oregon, Calif) in July. A trip to Rwanda (next summer). We have several other future trips, but nothing set on those (Europe family, Hawaii with my parents, something tropical as a couple)
I’m curious about this too. Thought about going through the online application to see if there’s a place to enter the offer code, just haven’t gotten around to it. Hopefully someone can answer.Anyone successfully open a Chase business checking account online and receive the bonus? I'm seriously considering the $500 bonus offer but don't want to spend an hour sitting in the bank .
