Possible dumb question, but am I correct in believing you can only receive each Chase bonus once 24 months?

If so, I think I could squeeze in a round of Citi Thankyou bonuses. They seem to be second best.

Any pros know of a better route. Don't want to screw up 5/24 for my next round of Chase bonus whoring (about a year and a half from now.
If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

The gold delta Amex offers 60k and waives annual fee first year. Never had one of these cards, how much is 60k of these points equivalent to?

the 70k is worth $750
also the annual companion pass is dope too

dunno seems like a great deal even w the $195 fee

if i buy a first class fare does the companion get matched to my fare?

I don't see anything.  I don't think it ever works.  When did you get your card?  Maybe I'll message in and see what's up.

Gonna get the companion pass again. Getting a SW card and a SW Biz card next week. Then having the spend hit on the January statement so I have it two years. Cash money homies.

This is my plan as well. Steve Dave--if we get the cards on 10/3, does that mean we have to meet the spend between 1/1/18 and 1/3/18 (which sounds annoying), or just any time after the second statement on 12/3? Please advise and go 'Cats.

anytime after your dec statement. your statement doesn't line up with the date you applied iirc. I think they have a standard statement date but you can ask them to move it. also I think Chase is pretty loosy goosy on the required date to make the spend and usually give you about an extra month to do it.

I just did this as well for Mrs SF. I am still amazed that this is possible. They made it even easier this time with having the 60k promo the end of september. I had to at least work a bit 2 years ago when I did it for myself at 50k. I mean, 120k SW points plus companion for 2 years for $150 in fees? yes please.

Send them a message and they will tell you the exact date. I got mine last week and they said I needed to hit the spends by 1/16.

Applied for the SW Plus and Premier this afternoon. Was approved right away for the Plus (it's been a while since a Chase approval, so that felt good), but can't get the Premier or Biz because I had forgotten that I had earned those bonuses within the last 24 months. Same with Mrs. 'Meal. Will time our spend for the Plus to hit after 1/1 and then will get the Companion Pass in March when the 24 months expires.

On the bright side, the Chase rep definitely knew my small businesses were lies and that I was going for the Companion Pass, but she DNGAF. We had a pretty good chuckle.

Anyone who travels semi frequently to the northwest you may be interested in this Alaska Air Visa.

Bonus is 30k miles ($390 bucks) + companion pass after spending $1,000 within the first 90 days of opening the card.

There is a 75 buck annual fee that is not waived for the first year.

Historically, if you apply from the link that pops up when pretending to buy a ticket, you've gotten a $100 statement credit too.

Apparently I'm pre approved or something for one of those black metal credit card thingies. I threw it away, but does it actually do anything for you other than just being a status symbol? @stevedave

I'm not credit card savvy at all, but those are generally a scam.  They basically make you pay $500/year to have the card and benefits seem pretty crappy.

mrs sd and I each have new sw chase plastic and are going to post both 60k for January. then both acquire through either spend or other sw cards the remaining 50k each and get DOUBLE companion passes so we can fly our giant brood around family style for basically nothing for 2 years.
