Author Topic: How Many Credit Cards Do You Have? (Read 1004417 times)

The best way to do it is to get the cards in the fall of, say, 2015. Then complete almost all the spending in 2015, finish the spending in the beginning of 2016, get the companion pass, then you have it for the rest of 2016 and all of 2017, really maximize it. You can basically have it for almost 2 full years this way

Is what he did illegal? He just made some purchases and then cancelled them...it is the credit card companies' fault if they still gave him the rewards points.

Mrs. WonderMeal and I are now in a home that we're going to be in for the next several decades. The ink hadn't dried on our papers for 24 hours before I started churning again.

Anyone have a CSP referral link they want to send my way? Or is there a good AA or hotel card I should check out?

referral for a 40k csp link with 4k spend over 4 months.

citi has 50k and 25k aa bonus cards, you can churn one of each every two years. also business cards.

If anything could bring SD back, it would be a CSP referral. This was the big test.

Face it. He's gone, guys.

How many credit cards are out there that pay for your fee for TSA PreCheck / Global Entry? Just the AmEx Plat card or are there more? TIA.

So, a little late in the year to extract max value, but decided to try and get the Companion Pass anyway. Got both personal cards, but need to make up the slack. Obv will get 6,000 with the spend required for the bonus, but what is the best way to grab the last 4k? Send UR points to Southwest via Hyatt Gold? Purchase Mariott points and transfer them to SW? Trying to get the best bang for the buck.

buy a really expensive fully refundable SW ticket(s) for like 120 days from now, get the points to credit, get comp. pass, cancel the ticket. this is maybe not ethical. check with trim.
