« on: May 05, 2013, 08:26:53 AM »why till sept? why not just wait until the day after you lock your rate and apply then?
i don't think a couple new cards would impact your rate, but i wouldn't eff around with it. when i got my mortgage, the lender did have me fill out some form explaining my frequent credit card applications. i don't think it impacted my rate, but who knows.
True - on your first point. Guess I wasn't 100% thinking that through. Sounds like a pretty safe plan.

crap? Were you there?!?! Wish I'd have known...BP lives in DFW?
Heading to SATX tomorrow for some work-golf!
Yep... Live in Frisco.
You in DFW?
Yep. In State-Thomas neighborhood right off 75&Hall St. in uptown, if you've ever seen a KSU flag flying. About to move, but will still be in the same general area.

« on: May 05, 2013, 12:31:45 AM »No, you should apply for between 3 and infinity (depends what you can make the minimum spend on) on the same day about 4 times a year. the reason is that the cards don't see you applying for shitloads of credit because it is all in the same day. But, right now, you don't have anything to worry about because you have baller credit and almost no available credit (if this is the only card you have right now). The problem with the SW card now is that you just got a Chase card. Chase wants you to wait a few months between applications. You can plan out your strategy by applying for a card from each bank at each "churn" date. Today you should apply for the 50k AA card (Citi), one of the US Air cards (Barclays), and an Amex (I'd go with the 50k business gold card).
35k US Air Card (miles after first purchase): https://www.barclaycardus.com/app/japply/WebAppGate.jsp?obchannel=057&browserUserAgent=Mozilla%2F4.0+%28compatible%3B+MSIE+8.0%3B+Windows+NT+5.1%3B+Trident%2F4.0%3B+.NET+CLR+2.0.50727%3B+.NET+CLR+1.1.4322%3B+.NET+CLR+3.0.4506.2152%3B+.NET+CLR+3.5.30729%3B+.NET4.0C%3B+.NET4.0E%3B+Zurich+Financial+Services%29&campaignId=1695&clickid=&outboundAdLocation=031&sqGroup=20&prodidreq=CCMWC47808&obcreative=0000000&product.IowaEnable=false&partnerid=654&ibchannel=26&appcreative=01030&landcreative=000000&referrerid=&listid=&obadloc=031&landpage=00000&campaignid=0001695&prescreenId=&legacy=true
50k Gold Business Amex (have to spend $5k in 3 months): http://www262.americanexpress.com/landing-page/business-cards/sclp/bgold/pm0003/42732?PID=14&BUID=SBS&PSKU=BGR&CRTV=BGR50K&VEID=1581187314&AFFID=k547978
I'm in a little bit of a dilemma. Have a contract on a house but don't have the mortgage rate locked in because I'm still 90-days+ out on closing date. I want to get the Gold Biz AmEx and Barclays USAir Card (will apply same day if I go through with it) to have handy to buy furniture and stuff - so hitting the spend limits will be taken care of with ease.
My question - is it worth taking the credit hit for getting 2 new cards right before shopping around for a mortgage rate? (My credit score is very good today, if that makes a difference.) Are the points worth risking a higher rate? If i do nothing, I could just throw everything on my CSP I currently have and pick up those two cards in Sept (given they're still around) and probably still make the spend requirements... What say you, gE fam?

Need to plan my whole setup and get the wires/cables run throughout before drywall goes up. Would like to PM and share some of my ideas with you and get some feedback.
Trying to have one "cabinet" with STB/DVR, PS3, receiver, zone/room control, etc.

Best thing that ever happened to me was the BA 100k card/bonus.
Up to 4 RT flights from KC-DFW for my family to come visit for the Cotton Bowl. 3 RT flights from DFW-MHK for the KSU-OSU football game. 1 RT from DFW-ATL and a one-way from DFW to OMA for the CWS this year. Might have to buy SD a drink while I'm there. Oh, still have 22k Avios points left.
On another note.... Still looking for my next card. SD - how long between AA churns to rack up those 450k AA points?

« on: April 19, 2013, 01:51:18 PM »catching up on this thread as i'm looking for the next option after hitting the spend needed on chase sapphire pref.I just got something in the mail about a 40k AA offer.
what's the window/timeline looking like for USAirways to AA points? Are the 35k/no fee or 40k/fee offers dead?
there are 50k AA cards. he's talking about US Air cards.
Thanks for all the help on this one, guys.
About to buy a house and buy a crap ton of furniture and crap. Figured I'd open a new card for that. Just hit the Sapphire Preferred spend in a month. Piece of cake. What's next? I've recently had SPG, AA, BA.

Has this been discussed?
I see you Kitchen.

« on: January 20, 2013, 06:12:43 PM »Applied for the Sapphire. Getting excited.
Probably should cancel either the Amex AA Citi or SPG Amex now.... hmmmm. Like the free bags on AA, but SPG is probably better for everyday spending, righ?
yeah, but the Sapphire will get you double points on dining and travel. it's my daily use card.
I'm stupid. Duh - that should've been obvious. Thx SD.

Just wanted to say that w/o this thread, I would not be sitting in E7 United Club @ DFW (

Thanks, guize.
That being said, this thread gets no credit for the pair of free lower-level tix and pre-game Tostito's party passes.

It says 65 but with the terms it is likely only 50.
