I remember when my credit card offers kept getting better and better. I was just about to start getting premium offers when tragedy struck and someone opened a cellphone account in my name, didn't pay it, and I started getting calls from a collection agency. Still trying to get the situation cleared up and my credit scores fixed.

Identity theft is a bitch.

I mean we tried to help you get it back...

On June 2, 2016 Southwest will open our schedule for sale through January 4 2017

Set your reminders if you want to use points to book holiday travel.

QUESTION: I have never cancelled flights I booked on Southwest using points, is that a pain in the ass or involve extra fees / lost points?

Do SPG or chase UR or BA or AAAAADv have concierges that can do stuff like visa signature?

steve dave · « **Reply #8805 on:** April 30, 2016, 08:54:58 AM »

Oh, I thought you meant lounge access. They actually probably do. CSP does.

I have them book all my foreign other language reservations for me.

Visa signature or CSP? If CSP, link?

steve dave · « **Reply #8808 on:** May 01, 2016, 08:23:00 AM »

What if I told you the CSP IS a Visa Signature card?

I'm not a crustacean. My question is if Chase whatever whatever has a concierge service to do something for me that Visa Signature has failed to do. It appears not.

Barclaycard does tho, results pending. Plat MasterCard next.

Does anyone have an objective ranking of cc concierge services?

steve dave · « **Reply #8810 on:** May 01, 2016, 10:11:02 AM »

I'd call chase direct and ask them anyway. They're pretty helpful.

steve dave · « **Reply #8811 on:** May 01, 2016, 10:11:26 AM »

I have a plat Amex that will do anything I want them to.

Heading up to Chicago on American and back on United completely on points, thanks guys.

Transferring UR points to United to pay for it may not have been the best value, but I'll take my lumps if SD wants to yell at me.

Asteriskhead · « **Reply #8814 on:** May 10, 2016, 12:07:57 PM »

This will be my first time flying first class too. I'm weirdly excited about that.

prepare to be underwhelmed by domestic first. It's basically an nicer emergency exit row seat.

i'd flyertalk search that issue.

I looked a bit. Saw something that contradicts what sd thought about possibly getting the card but then not getting the bonus. I'll probably just call and tell 'em exactly what I've had and have and get confirmation that I'll be given a card and the bonus.

Tried the number and could instantly tell by how the person answered that I wouldn't get what I needed. Will just try applying online and raising hell if it doesn't work out the way it should.

Applied online and got approved a couple days ago, despite not being out of the 5/2 jam yet. Nothing indicating I'll have any problem getting the 50K either.

This is a separate trip that I have been planning with another group for awhile.

Not sure yet if I will make it for the torn-ament yet, thank you though.

You should probably move to chicago or wherever.

i should have never got on the flight back from seattle, probably.

"wherever" may be more apt, with the two trips to colorado that i'm about to lock in.

i got the CSP 2 years ago in June. mrs mocat has had the freedom for about 1 year. just hit min spend on the 60k citi AA.

is this a good plan:
mrs mocat get the ink, then i send her my UR's and cancel my CSP, then after we hit min spend on the ink, i apply for a new CSP.

also i'm debating on whether we should add each other as authorized users. leaning yes (at least for ink) because of the massive min spend on the ink.

TIA

Emo EMAW · « **Reply #8822 on:** May 13, 2016, 09:28:10 AM »

You can transfer UR's between two different accounts? Did not know that.

pissclams · « **Reply #8823 on:** May 13, 2016, 09:36:55 AM »

does mrs mo already have the csp?
can you refer her and get the 10k bonus and she'll get the 50k sign up? then you cancel your csp?
