I love credit cards so much! v3.0 (see first page for add'l details)

So I just got the 100,000MR platinum offer to work. Went through the app and it told me they want me to call? What does that mean? They said to call within 3 days and if I don’t they will try to call me.


ETA: Email says they need more info. Ugh. What info are they going to need?

I hate calling so much.

Probably just verification that you actually applied I suspect it will be an easy phone call.

After my recent MDD, the CSR appeared in my usual Chase login but not the CSP. (I applied for the CSP using a referral link then the CSR after logging in to my regular account.) Is it okay to SM and have it added to the same login, or should I just create a different login for it (or somehow figure out where it went)? I would rather not have another login to deal with, but I don't want extra eyes or to create issues--particularly before the bonuses hit. Has anyone reported an issue with both cards in the same Chase login?

@fixerupper reported hers is not showing up either.

Looks like you were right. She just took my name, bday and address. After placing me on hold, she came back and told me I was approved!

I thought they were going ask about income or something. I used my current income althought it will be dropping next month once I reduce my hours. I was thinking how could they possibly know that!

If you had to select between the Hyatt or CSR, which one would you take? The URs will most likely get transferred to Hyatt. I am torn since this will put DH over 5/24 for quite a bit.

I can see why you are torn. I started to say CSR, then went the other way and then back again. Do you have a CSR? If you have a CSR, then go Hyatt.

My annual pass (2nd) refund from Disney is in my Informed delivery!!!!
Hopefully it will actually come today. Can't wait to see what the amount will be.
I think I'm more excited just to 'see' what it is then to actually get the refund.

Did the check arrive...and more importantly was it the correct amount

I can re-apply in mid-Dec (I’m 5/24 until then) so I’ll be downgrading my CSR to a CF then wilol MDD the Sapphires. And if that plan doesn’t work, I can upgrade the CF or DH’s CF. It’s just hard to give the URs and the Hyatt paper process to transfer points is a pain since I’ll want the points in my account since I am Globalist. We are kind of hooked on Hyatt at the moment.

Yes! I just got it out of my mailbox. Had checked around 5 and it hadn't arrived yet, and was reading that a lot of others got checks today so it reminded me to go look.

Check was $259.90 and is about $20 more than I had calculated.
First check was $229.06, so $488.96 back from an AP that was approximately $675. I upgraded an old hopper with gift cards so a dollar here a dollar there. Activated Nov 6, 2019 for food and wine, then went in January and February, so three visits. I was treated well and waiting for my refund was not an issue as I'd already got 3/4 of the use I would have expected. (Had to cancel the Nov 2020 trip.)

Well I just submitted a large batch of pay yourself back. So I guess I need to wait til those post and then pc. If the 80k csp is still alive then, I guess I’ll go for it. Otherwise, I’ll wait.

Honestly I’m a tiny bit nervous about 10k of spend in 3 months since so many easy ways to help make the minimum spend have gone away

It would only be 8k spend for both CSP And CSR. Venmo can come in handy too. I will Venmo my kids $. Mark it for tuition and they deposit the $ and them I transfer the $ back to my bank account. There would be a fee to do this. But helps on large MSRs.

Excellent...our first 4 refunds were about what I had calculated...so I was happy with that..but 5th on my sons who lives in FL was more that what I had paid for his pass no idea how that happened...

I also requested the call back to repurchase the AP vouchers and did so last week...my daughter is due 1/6 with our first grandchild praying we can all be there next October for her first visit

I'd think $5k on my Hilton this month, and $200-300 on the other 3 cards every month should be enough to make Amex happy. Grrrrr.

I feel like my pop up was related to my old debt (which hasn't really been an issue until Covid) because P2 was also getting popup. I just paid off a card last month (two more to go!). I increased spend a little on my Surpass, did one purchase on my Bonvoy Biz and pretty much kept Gold spend normal for about 4 weeks. In my case, if it were spend I would think I would have needed more than I did. I do think paying off some old debt helped in my case. I have not tested P2 yet to see if he's still getting the pop up. I might do that soon though. I had been trying for a Blue Cash when I was getting the pop up, it is coming up in his pre-qualified offers now.

I think there are just several things that lead to the pop up and you just have to figure out what it is in your case.

Yep, and we got the cards today and it still isn't showing in my account but is in my husbands. But I have the Disney card in my account and he doesn't.

Other than the long wait, it seems to me most people got good money back. I've got existing annual pass vouchers, so business as usual for me. I was a little afraid they would get into my MDE and mess with them, maybe try to refund them or something but everything seems fine. Other hard tickets are not in MDE. I'll add them if I decide to use them, but right now, I don't anticipate a visit before next November, where I'll want an annual pass.

It's a lot of fun to have grandchildren at Disney. Changes the whole dynamic and I loved having a stroller to carry other stuff such as water bottles. It's the little things.

The same issue with Chase offers is also happening to BOA offers - they are disappearing/not crediting. Must be something with the back end of those offers. BOA insisted they would still credit, we'll see.

Nice offer on the Arrival + for 60k miles for $3k spend. DH got the offer but I didn’t

 

[havaneselover]

My chase offers are back on my personal cards but the site is a hot mess. For example, my payment due date is "null 7, 2020."

I just put a $1k charge on mine yesterday! And I don’t see any offers in my email or on my account so I guess it doesn’t matter, but still.

I know. I would gladly $600 worth of travel!

Mine are all showing this morning on my Chase personal and business cards. I've got 5 soon to expire RiteAid offers. Has anyone been in a RiteAid store and do they have Disney gift cards? They closed the one nearest me several years ago, when CVS essentially chased them out.

Since they all came back, I'm a little happier about my purchases at Lowes yesterday. All in I spent $510, but that includes $250 at Best Buy. Got my Amex email pronto.

Can't remember if Chase acknowledges use of the offer or not. My remaining Lowes offers have a longer expiration so I'll wait a bit.

Thanks for the BOA reminder.

 

[Judique]

Checked my BOA and I have Visible, Doordash and the $10 Sam's Club deal, which I have at least 7 offers to renew Sam's on my Chase cards. We still have a Sam's membership under younger DD so it's a waste, plus $10?? off $45?? when we've basically gotten it free when using Amex?

It may be time to let this card go and churn it down the road. Earlier offers that I redeemed almost covered the $79? annual fee, but now it's not performing. Previously I've had a lot of restaurant offers, which is what I would primarily redeem through takeout, since we do so much takeout and delivery, with the pandemic and without.
