I'm planning to go to San Diego next year. Please tell me which card to get right now to prepare for that. TIA.

lots of good information to work with here

That's about all I know so far. It will be in July over a long weekend, but not sure of exact days yet. Need to stay downtown probably.

fying out of ICT? what points/miles do you have already? what cards?

Yes, out of ICT. Already have 50k+ SW points so maybe I should just use those? Also Gooch has 50k+ AA and a bunch of UR but I can't guarantee they will still be around next year as he may use them himself.

ok, yeah, fly SW. it should be plenty of miles. I've stayed at the Hilton in the Gaslamp. It was nice. Could get the two free night hilton card. Though SD usually has pretty reasonable rates so that could be a bad use of those nights.

Is there any kind of SW referral that I can send my friends and get some points too?

Apparently I'm not an eligible customer.

that just means you don't have a card that has a referral bonus

Um, no. The point is for me to get a free flight with all the points I get for referring all my friends who are going with me. Now how do I get my own referral link?

I don't think there is one. I don't think tthotuc knows what he's talking about.

I know this was mentioned some earlier in the thread but I'm curious re. the new amex one bonus in a lifetime does that mean after they rolled that out this spring you can get all the bonuses again one time or are they going back years ago to when I got some bonus and counting that? I'm sure it's in that million page FT thread but I don't want to read it. someone else do it. mikey you do it. then tell me here. tia.

I looked into this a few months ago and from what I could tell no one seemed to know, but assumed it was a no-go. Hopefully thats wrong though. :(

AA has been being kind of wishy washy on their churning though. may want to look into what they are doing today on FT. or have mikey do it for you.

I try and avoid FT as much as possible, except for the MS thread.

michigancat · « **Reply #5817 on:** July 31, 2014, 03:27:52 PM »

so should I cancel my sapphire preferred knowing that I can churn in two years? I was planning on keeping it open for my primary card when I'm not going for a bonus, but I might not now.

Emo EMAW · « **Reply #5818 on:** July 31, 2014, 03:28:55 PM »

I think it's 24 months after date of application, right? So you could cancel Monday and reapply Friday I'd bet.

emo is right, the 24 month is from the last time you got the bonus. not the time since you had the card. I think you can have it up until you apply for it again.

yeah but I just got the bonus this year so I'll probably cancel after I get the ink bold and before the annual fee. Will that work? I didn't read closely before now.

Yeah, but you don't have to if you don't want to.

Yeah but it would probably be smart.

I have no idea what you were asking originally. You seem to have come to a conclusion based off something outside of the initial parameters.

I was asking if I should cancel because I didn't know what would happen to the UR points. I'll wait till I get the Ink then cancel so the points stay. Would obviously like to avoid an annual fee, especially when I'll be able to get another bonus in 18 months.
