Author Topic: How Many Credit Cards Do You Have? (Read 1002605 times)

I have found that the best way, for me, to escalate points accumulation, is to always put everything on a card that gives points (utilities, coffee, tires, gas, taxes, you name it), and try not to go too long without acquiring a card that has a big upfront spend bonus (and always hit that spend).

The rest of this stuff takes care of itself, and is arguably not worth the extra time unless you truly enjoy it.

Just watch this thread and when SD says "go get this card," you go rough ridin' get that card.

It's a simple program, but it's not easy. It works when you work it, though!

I'm sure it's been mentioned in this thread, but that Award Wallet site is pretty cool. Thanks to @trim for telling me about it.

we're flying to Rome on AA and we did pay fees because I'm apparently stupid and didn't know I could avoid them but whatever it's already booked and it wasn't that much in the grand scheme of things and I'll just get a little better every day and try to do better my next time out

you can still change it. if you can find aa flights that will work.

hmm will research

AA website's working fine now. Got the return for the 25K first class all the way through, with a perfectly timed layover to take a shower and watch all of seff vs. oscar in o'hare.

Bad dog owner at work was trying to use a screenshot of our coworker's Delta diamond status to edit his name in and get United status.

Yes, me too. Make sure the item you are buying is sold by Amazon, not just distributed from Amazon.

Do you guys get CSP to waive the annual fee every year? Just call them?

What is this bullshit rejection letter from Chase saying that I've opened up too many credit cards in the past two years? Anything I can do about this nonsense?

I found an error in how they were calculating hertz points expiration and got w/them and now they've updated the system. I'm pretty much part of the AwardWallet operation now.

Citi only tracks how many you've earned I believe. Not currently have.
