Any thoughts on the best American Airlines card to get?  I haven't flown American in years, and have zero status with them right now.  So, I'd prefer a card that helps me get status fast, if that's possible.

if you are going to spend $40k on it in a calendar year this one will help get status. also has priority boarding and check in lines, free bags, admirals club access. tsa pre or global entry reimbursement. $450 annual fee tho.

no more churning alaska cards. guess i'm going 5/24. I'm going to have some time free'd up I guess. rough ridin' bullshit.

eff.  What are the specifics?

did you get the csr?

I wouldn't be eligible until next summer, but I'd planned to get at least a couple alaska cards in the meantime.

Was it this one?

http://travelupdate.boardingarea.com/alaska-airlines-credit-card/#_ga=1.89409051.1446663739.1473130034

That looks like it's just the having multiple accounts at once that's dead, and maybe only in Canada anyway.

I'll cancel when I have a few months of knowing I wouldn't be flying Alaska and apply for another one after 90 days.

Since they won't be flying out of ICT until April of next year, it sounds like I should cancel mine and then re-apply around Dec/Jan to get another 30k miles.

what is your business, what do you do, etc. one thing to keep in mind when making this call is you're dealing with a call center kid who's checking boxes and even the reconsideration line is the senior call center kids. you're not actually talking to a banker or anyone who knows what they're doing outside of a script.

My wife randomly got the chase sapphire reserve or whatever it's called, we're paying for some flights with it, is the $300 travel credit deducted from your spend (i.e. do u actually need to spend $4300 in 3 months to meet the min)?

i read on the reddit that it doesn't count towards the $4k but who knows because what in the world is a reddit anyway LMAO

What rumblings have you heard RE: the Marriott deal?  I have been thinking about the SPG Amex, but have been waiting on some news about this.

I just saw I got the miles really quick but it might be a month or 2 before the $100 statement credit shows up.  I'd at least wait for that to happen if I was you.
