Hey, WW, I hope you used MichiganCat's Chase Ink referral link for 70k URs for that credit card. (https://applynow.chase.com/FlexAppWeb/renderApp.do?PID=CFFD2&SPID=FBGY&CELL=6LDK&MSC=1515957531) Doing so will enable Rusty to get 10k URs so he can keep taking the Li'l 'Cats on family vacations to Cabo.

If and only if Rusty's link has been filled out by more than five people, all others interested in capitalizing on all the sexy travel you can complete with 70k URs should use noted 'Cat enthusiast WonderMeal's link, posted below. Only three more referrals are available, so act fast.

prolly not mumped at all.  especially since it's a business card, sometimes they want a human to look at something.

One question though - United hit me w/ a $50/ticket booking fee for award travel w/in 21 days. Because of the circumstances (weather) any chance I could get them to wave it? It's a separate reservation so I doubt it.

Quote
Dear michigancat:

 

Thank you for contacting United Airlines.

 

I apologize for the delayed response.  Due to recent demand we have fallen behind.

 

I am sorry your plans for Los Cabos could not materialize.

 

As per your request, I have submitted for refund the two $50 close in booking fees on reservation */////.  Allow two to three weeks for processing.

 

The loyalty you demonstrate as a Premier Silver MileagePlus member does not go unnoticed.  Please know that we appreciate your business and look forward to welcoming you on board your upcoming United Airlines flights.

 

Regards,

 

Steven Henry

United Airlines

need some credit card consulting once again from my gE friends.  Currently $4k spend away from my next 25k bonus (rounding out the 100k total bonus) for BA Chase card, so I need to be thinking about what's next 

Goal for early 2015: SW airlines double 50k bonus to work towards Companion Pass (but I think I just have to be lucky to have the 50k bonuses available/offered early during the calendar year...right?)


Also, later today I'll be calling in to cancel recent cards used just for bonuses, all through Chase (Marriott 70k, Hyatt 2 free nights, and an old no-fee Sapphire card they opened when I cancelled the plus).  Shouldn't be any issue with any of these cards of losing a bonus that's already earned, right?  Anyone ever cancelled multiple cards on the same call?  Curious to how they'll treat me for cancelling 3/4 cards I have with them...

Also, recently hit my AmEx SPG 30k bonus, but will probably keep the card until the next year's fee comes up as a regular spend card.  Going to also call in on my AA AmEx and try to get the statement credit for 5 purchases or whatever they throw at me every year.  If not, I'll just cancel that one.

Anything else out there worth it?

What's the deal with that AE Platinum thing?  Offer is 100,000 points but I'm not sure if they're useful or not.

they are fairly useful but not as valuable as UR. can transfer to BA, Delta, SPG (though at a reduced redemption), some others.

Hey that's pretty good for a $3k spend though.  Like I imagine I'd prefer 100k AE points for $3k spend than even 70k UR for $5k spend.

Knew I needed that UR card.

Regarding the SW points, don't you want to earn the points all in the same calendar year and next year would be best because as soon as I hit the amount needed for companion, it becomes valid for the rest of that year and the next year?

A) I would value 70k UR higher than 100k MR but that comes down to what you like to use them for
B) Check the annual fee on that AMex Plat card

Roger.  (I like to use them for like Delta or United flights.  Occasionally SW, and occasionally for a rental car.)  :thumbs:

you want to EARN them all in one year but ideally have them post in January so you essentially get 2 years of companion pass.

I may have like 30 delta drink coupons coming that I won't be able to use before they expire (no idea how long they are going to be valid) so if any of you drunk delta studs want them I'll mail them to you (unless they don't expire for like two years then I'm boozing all of them)

booking my company's business travel (goEMAW).

https://skybonus.delta.com/mainMenu.sb?Region_Code=NA&POS_Country_Code=US&Actor=Corporate&Code=BIZ&Language=EN

I had 35k of these points sitting around I was never going to use so I decided to just cash 30k of them in for 30 drink coupons and drink as many as I could and give the rest to you guys.
