How Many Credit Cards Do You Have?

[steve dave]

i made a reservation at a hyatt for 1 room, using points. i also booked an additional reservation at the same hyatt on the same night for 1 room, also using points (for some family members). is this going to be a problem when i go to check in? i mean i should be able to check into both rooms right?

you're fine

I've already been to all of them! (except Toronto, but I don't count them, because Canada)

[Gooch]

No need to go really. Cause Canada

There are some I'd love to see again, because it's been like 8-10 years. Pittsburgh, Philly, DC... I guess I haven't been to Miamis new disaster either.

citi has to be losing money on it, and they don't even get exclusivity with costco or anything which is weird and kinda pathetic for them.

With Visa, Gutman expects the fees to fall to 0.1 percent to 0.4 percent

i need to cancel an ink and 5/24 has left me without a ur card to transfer into.  i will entertain arguments for transferring them to a freedom with the idea of rescuing them later vs transferring them into united miles.

Do you drive? Keep the ink?

[pissclams]

can you not get the csp w/out the bonus ?

Why did you cancel the CSP?

I hit SWA A-List Preferred this month, with no card bonuses...did it the old school way.   Here's the thing I am curious about, will the 100% earning bonus apply to credit card points or just points doe flights?   Anyone know?

Ah, paid flights only, for the 100% bonus, according to the points guy.

Sys hates fees more than you or i could ever understand

[sys]

i have the costco at 4% cash and my wife has a freedom with 5% in ur seasonally, so i don't have any reason to put gas on the ink (i know some here value ur at higher than .02 per, but i don't.  more like .015.)

[sys]

Why did you cancel the CSP?

i don't pay fees on credit cards.  it's kind of a rule for me.

[sys]

can you not get the csp w/out the bonus ?

oddly, not per the 5/24.  it's all or nothing.  if you are under 5/24 but for some reason want the card wo bonus and aren't eligible for the bonus based on 24 months since same card bonus, then i think you could.

that is really strange.  this goes back to our discussion of them losing money on these points programs. i think chase specifically uses the bonus programs to drive card user numbers up when they decide they need them.

I told you that forever ago and you said I was wrong and I was like, "ok sys"

I only do on 1 and everyone else should as well

A list preferred is pretty easy if you fly biz select every time you fly.  Lots of flights out of MCI don't have wifi so that's a rip

i don't think this is accurate.  if it is, it lasted like 5 minutes until i flyertalk checked it.

we've already had this debate.

[sys]

so no one has any experience or success stories of stashing and rescuing ur points?  maybe i'll hedge and do half and half.

[steve dave]

I think pre-approved offers are outside of the rule

Think I should call the number that's on the letter and directly ask, or just roll the dice?  Not sure if it's weird for people to be calling them and asking if their 5 cards in the last 22 months are an issue for them.

wouldn't hurt to just try it, right? they either approve it or not. My understanding is that is how they operate. not that you get it and never get the bonus like amex.

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.

hmmm, it was actually this. I said they'd just turn you down and you said to flyertalk search that and then trim did and got some bad info apparently.
