How Many Credit Cards Do You Have?

[michigancat]

I was in tears at the sw companion pass comment

[wetwillie]

Who gets the blog in the divorce?

[steve dave]

If you can survive the American and Starwood’s devaluation, anything is possible.

hahahahaha

Holy crap. Hyatt is matching mid tier status with diamond through 2017 

email them now with a screenshot of your status with another hotel. says "top tier" but flyertalkers claim even hilton and spg gold is being accepted. I also DM'd the hyattconcierge twitter account because this is ridiculous and I want to get in asap.

 

it's been a good week or two for us Marriott elites

looks like my wife will get her return trip to the GH Kauai she's been wanting next year

[GoodForAnother]

Couple CSPs and a couple more chase hyatts will be heading our way 

[GoodForAnother]

Chase made me call them for whatever reason

Call 1

Guy: well we just need your drivers license or a bill to verify your address
Me: I have two other chase cards can you look at those
Guy: the public records show you live somewhere else, did you forget to type in your apartment number?
Me: no it's a whole house
Guy: well please fax your drivers license in and call back
Me: k

Call 2

Lady: thanks for faxing it but the faxes take 1-2 weeks to upload
Me: why can't I have a chase sapphire preferred card now
Lady: hang on
Hold for two minutes
Lady: congratulations you're approved with a credit line of $17,000
Me: neat

if i miss one of the middle flights on a multi-flight award booking due to a tight connection, they're probably going to put me on the next flight, correct?  even if that next flight would violate the minimum connection time at the next airport?  and even if the original tight connection violated their minimum connection time rule but a lazy agent booked it anyways?

[steve dave]

Yes, I believe that's accurate sys

[sys]

i looked it up on flyertalk and apparently american's minimum connection time is a little less than the airport's suggested minimum connection time.  so i have "legal" booking and presumably they'll take care of me if anything is late (unless the next flights are overbooked, in which case i'm prolly mumped).  at any rate, not gonna worry about it anymore since it took a rough ridin' ton of work to get the aa booking in the first place.

do i want to activate the 10% cash back on chase freedom?

[steve dave]

do i want to activate the 10% cash back on chase freedom?

yes, obviously always

yes, obviously always

TY.  Just trying to be circumspect.  Wasn't sure if activating that would disqualify me for something better or whatever.

[GoodForAnother]

Hyatt hasn't made me diamond yet

aa emailed me this morning to let me know the connection was too short and forced me to call in and rebook on the later flight.

YES!

i can't figure out how to produce this nice link for my friend. i can only email friends and that does not work as well and the friend has to wait like 7 days or whatever to get an email invite from chase. how do you do this?

iirc rusty said they did away with the twitter link which is how I got this.

btw, chase is now counting authorized users as part of their limit on how many cards you can have (or is it apply for?) every 24 months.  so, be careful about chasing those 5k ur's.

WHAT!?!?!?!? Is this going to be affected by the cards I am currently an authorized user on or only future ones?

i noticed that. and also that mrs mocat's credit line on her freedom shows up as available credit in my credit report

what is this yet to be identified limit?

[sys]

5. 

[steve dave]

and (it's been mentioned a billion times but once more) that is only for the chase UR cards (CSP, Ink, Freedom). you can still pound the SW, Marriott, United, etc.

[Emo EMAW]

Did CSP/ChaseUR ever transfer to Delta?  For some reason I thought it did but don't see that option now. 

Can I xfer to British Airways and then book Delta to the Bahamas?
