Interesting. I upgraded on 7/7/20 and my AF posted 11/1/20. Hopefully you'll continue without one!Also, Dec 1st came around and still no AF for DH's CSR upgrade. We upgraded 6/5/2020.
This is exciting. I’m planning to apply for a card in a couple of weeksBUSINESS SUPPORT LINKS ARE BACK!!
You can pick from CIU, CIC or CIP!
Groupie...I am sorry to hear that it might not work out. We have managed a few short trips with one or two of our young adult children, but it's getting harder as their commitments increase. Longer trips would not be workable. I do have to say, though, that your trip sounds like it would be AMAZING, and your alternative idea for Vienna/Florence sounds wonderful as well!Well the time I have been dreading may have arrived. Dd texted me last night saying that she can't go to London, the Maldives, Singapore and Dubai in May because she has a computer science course that runs from May to August. I am almost certain that it's online, so I'm not sure why she can't study while we are away (though it would be hard to study in London, Singapore and Dubai where we will have daily activities). I will have to talk with her live about this when she comes home in a few weeks. I'd be willing to trim the trip back a bit by removing Sinapore and Dubai if necessary. The WA Maldives was so hard to get for 9 nights and I don't realistically think I'd be able to get it on points again (they are only releasing rooms in 4 night blocks now and have been for some time).
Enjoy traveling with your young ones while you can. Time goes by too quickly...far too quickly.
I'm now thinking that I will go to Vienna and possibly Florence next December to visit some Christmas markets and maybe attend a Viennese waltz (this is on my bucket list and has been since I learned {and fell in love} with the Viennese waltz last time I was in Vienna).
Any idea how much it cost? Was this under Bonvoy or the old SPG program? I'm intrigued as well!
I got an email about an easy bank bonus for those that fly AA and have a Citi Business card:
Earn 30,000 American Airlines AAdvantage® bonus miles after you:
1. OPEN a new Citibank business checking account between November 3, 2020 and December 31, 2020
2. SPEND at least $1,000 on qualifying purchases using your new CitiBusiness® Debit Card within 60 days after account opening
I messed up my first and only bank bonus (Chase) but this seems almost fool-proof.
Couple things not sure if anyone mentioned. First, a target 10% of target GCs is this weekend I believe (reportedly December 5-6) Use Discover for an extra 5% (Red card won't give a bigger discount)
Second AA supposedly giving everyone with an AA account a 'gift' December 2-16, be it miles, Admirals club pass or Complimentary MCE seat.
Also got an email for $10 off with PayPal when using Discover rewards with a purchase of $50 or more.
Thanks for the reminders. I also have an extra 3% cashback on my Discover through 12/15/20 (email dated 10/8 if you want to double check if you got it). So I'll be getting 8% cash back on top of the 10% on the Target gift cards. And I have the 10% off Circle offer that expires 12/12, so I'll use the discounted gift cards on a purchase before that expires.I got the discover email too plus another one for 10% off using discover on Apple pay up to $100.
So, I feel foolish. I forgot to unfreeze my credit before an app. What is the best course of action now? Should I unfreeze and reapply or do I need to recon? I got the "we'll let you know" Chase message.
We are here since Thanksgiving, staying at the Marriott Royal Palms and move to BWV on Friday.Called DVC this morning to knock off a night in February and to see what would happen to those points as they were borrowed.
They will be put back to 2021. This will continue to happen at least through the end of January, for anyone wondering. It is getting consideration about 2 months in advance.
I also checked on my January trip points to see if I had any 2019 wrapped into that and there are 4 BWV points, so no biggie. Still planning on going but will be watching the world. And also what can be done with points as I roll my trips forward. Probably add a night at Hilton Head in March. I've still got points I haven't banked so plenty of options. I feel okay about traveling to Hilton Head, but much less okay about anywhere in Florida right now. Need this mess to be over.
For fall of 2021, I've started a reservation but only booked 1 night so far as people are walking, so this forces me to walk behind them to get my nights. I considered a one bedroom, but a studio works better since I will do more Food and Wine booths, and less cooking. Usually at BWV, it's the standard nights that book in the first 10 seconds. This time around they are booking all 3 categories of studios. My ploy last year was to book any available night - this year each day is gone until the walker gets what they want.
Also decided to try for a grand villa at Hilton Head in the late fall. Would love to be there right now! There are only 5 of these so not always easy but we will see.

I feel safe eating at Disney restaurants, they are social distancing the tables. DH wanted Cracker Barrel no social distancing...it was a mess..so I wouldn’t eat outside of Disney right now.
The MK was more crowded yesterday that I thought it would be, but everyone wearing masks, plenty of hand sanitizer. Studios last Friday was fine, but we went in at 3:30. Epcot has also been fine.
Well, that was a fail. Denied for too many accounts. I'm 3/24 with 2 in Jan and 1 in Oct, and 1 biz in April.Unfreeze it and call. Let them kbow you forgot to unfreeze it but you've unfrozen it can you please put it through again. A lot of us have done it, it was an easy call.
