I got enough Priority Club points from last weekend for a free night in Manhattan  :surprised: 

just used my first free night using priority points, they treat you like a king: give you a gift bag when you check in, put your name up on the felt board welcoming you, offer a later check out time (2 pm), and extended hours at the pool and hott tub  :gocho:
I'm purple down

So which card should I put most of my purchases on?

SPG, AA Citi cards, or Southwest Chase?

Activated my SPG last night and didn't see any info on my SPG account.  I assume I got automatically enrolled right?  :users:  If not, wtf do I have to do?

What do you mean?  Like, you don't have a SPG account?  I would call them as they've probably just set one up for you.

if you didn't already have an spg account when you got the amex, then call amex. i'm surprised they didn't include your spg number in the mailing.

ALERT TO EVERYONE:  It's not a huge deal to get taken care of but, when you sign up for a card, go ahead and sign up for the rewards program first so you can attach the card to your miles account when completing the application.

I was actually at a restaurant this week and offered "cash" for my share of the bill. It was as if I was bartering with chickens or something.

We should hang out when I'm in DC for a week in April.  You can hand me cash every day for the rest of your life and I'll get SPG miles for your portion.

Yeah. I really need to get around to doing this (the miles/points part). I've had the same shitty CC for about a dozen years.

Wow, you are missing out.  You should take beems time machine and get a good credit card 12 years ago.

Yeah. I've got a crap ton of points on my current card, but the rewards program is super crappy. Am going to pore through this thread and take copious notes from my new pro bono financial consultants (next project: fully and responsibly mapping out my life in case I win the lottery. TIME TO STOP PROCRASTINATING!)
"How will I recruit to Manhattan? Well, distance. And the proud state of basketball. It start there, and then daily flights to Dallas, because I'm really good at going out. Like top five good. Ask my wife. She wants me to be happy."

daris/sd, I need super bonus deals for Delta and Continental miles and Hyatt and Coast hotel points. 

Also, which SPG AMEX should I keep, business or personal?

I am keeping my SPG personal.  Here's a Continental offer for 40K

http://www.mychasecreditcards.com/continental/onepass/?CELL=6H8X&AFFID=d9D3Sr3Tcmk-KnresNnr6EsNZqpT3D4Dhg

I haven't heard of any good Delta offers lately.  Those Continental miles are going to turn into United miles shortly.

Mrs. dave offered a $400 United voucher to take a later flight today and she didn't take it because it would have been a very minor inconvenience  :horrorsurprise:

Looks like someone just minor unconvenienced themselves right out of a new pair of Ugg boots or whatever the new cool clothing item for winter2010  ends up being.

$150 for the first passenger on any type of award
$100 for each additional passenger on the same general trip


eff that.  I've already become kind of an award flight booking ninja.  I should do this same thing for $25 a person.
