dammit, denied.  Apparently a fraudulent card opened up in my name in 2015 still showed up on my credit report, despite having opened a fraud case on it last year.    That put me over the edge.

haha, oh crap

i mean, why do I have to file a seperate dispute from a fraud report?   C'mon Experian!

Steve, would it be hard to fly to Male (Maldives) using AA points?  Dates would be this January, like 20-28.  Is it too late in the game for this?

are you still in san diego? if so it would be incredibly easy. there is currently coach, biz, and some 1st award space for two seats on a lot of dates around that time. I'd book ASAP though. and I didn't look at routing so it may be terrible.

yeah, trim, you'll get the $300 in 2016 and again in 2017. It will count for Uber, taxis, public trans, flights, seat upgrades, hotels, etc. I'm confident anything that the CSP codes as travel for bonus points will get reimbursed.

Right.  Still doubtful I'd be spending $300 of my own money on those things the rest of 2016, but if I thought I would be, I'd hear out everyone's success stories of bypassing 5/24, especially if it's as easy as walking up to the branch.

So if I get it now I should upgrade trips I have planned for the rest of this year or I'll just lose the $300 for this year right?  Or I guess I could just wait and get it in Jan 2017 to make sure I spend the $300 each year?

If you were going to wait for your latter scenario, I'd think you'd want to wait even later into 2017 so that you have plenty of time in both 2017 and 2018 to spend $300 in each within the 365-ish days you'd have the card that you're paying $450 for.

Oh hello.

i knew they were packaging it up in some pimp crap.   didn't expedite mine, 7-10 days.  i heard the call center was overloaded yesterday and didn't really care a whole lot about waiting a week for it to arrive.  did you your priority pass come at the same time?

sounds like they're expediting the shipping of everyone's (2 day)
you need to activate the PP in the chase portal before they'll ship it fwiw

Reddit seems to think its that easy. My wife and I both got denied and I'm going to try a branch in the next day or two.

the best way to get around 5/24 is to be a CPC.  i think that a lot of the reddit posters don't understand 5/24 and what cards count towards the 5 because there's a lot of dumbasses posting over there so they're like i'm at 8/24 and visited  a branch and boom approved.
