mother of god, the CSP weight  :surprised:

did you just get one? haven't kept up on thread..

but yeah, it's one of my fav things to hand over the card and just wait for the inevitable reaction. constant :gocho: oppy's

it really is unbelievable how many people will comment on it.

The only downside is that they are impossible to shred/destroy.  A bunch of people leave their cards where I manage and every so often I shred old ones that have not been claimed.

when you whip it out and you are waiting for the person to be ready to take it and you're just sitting there tapping one end of it on the counter, it may as well be thor's hammer

They comment on it every time. My line? "It's bulletproof [wink]"

Usually they just comment on how heavy it is, but the other day, the kid working the register said my CSP card was awesome.

The Visa black card is made of stainless steel.

Also, what's the feeling on this card? Just got the offer, think it's 25,000 points (not sure what kind), and $500 annual fee.

Didn't Southwest used to have a constant point to dollar value? Now all the fares of the same type are the same point cost even when the dollar cost is not the same.

It's a piece of crap for people who want other people to think they have money

flights with slightly different cash fares will often have the same point redemptions. I'm guessing points are ignoring airport fees or something similar causing the fare difference, so a direct flight from MCI to OAK may cost a little less than one with a stop in Vegas paying cash but require the same amount of points.

I have a bunch of SW points to use.  :dunno:
And I am talking about the same route at different times which have different fares (so that means the airport fees should be same) but same points.

I would guess your layovers are different.

I've been poking around the chase website this morning, since I want to cancel my BA card (met the spend months ago, don't want to pay the fee when it comes due). You have to call in to cancel, don't you? I don't have the card on hand, since I'm still in the hospital. What information is necessary?

there are no chase branches in NE. they supposedly have 70k UR Chase Ink offers laying around at the physical locations. if someone happens to pop into a Chase bank and grab me one we would be best friends.
