I recommend checking for Chase offers, I got the 15% off AirBNB on my Chase Freedom:

https://www.pointswithacrew.com/who-got-this-airbnb-chase-offer-of-up-to-15-off/

Saw this. Do you have to stay before the deadline or book and pay. I think the wording was stay, but wasn't sure.

it's just to book and pay. I used it to book my airbnb in Tokyo and just got the 15% straight credit to my statement

Delta Amex offers pretty good right now.  Hit me up for referral if you get one.

Just signed up for my first business card.  Instant approval using my name as the business.  None of that Stevesie runaround.

Amex loves to eff you on those things.

New AA and Hyatt partnership seems elite.

applied for and approved for the delta platinum 80,000 bonus miles sign up offer

i canceled this exact same card last year and had gotten a bonus with it but i read through the terms and conditions and it said nothing about "if you've received bonus offers previously" so  :crossfingers:.

yeah let me know how this goes, was also considering

i probably won't hit the spend before the feb. 20 application deadline fwiw
Yeah I just want to know for next time

i got the bonus, no questions asked. feels good.

fwiw, i do think there was something unique about this offer because it said nothing about "if you've had this card previously.." in the terms and conditions, and i've checked a couple other delta offers recently and it definitely explicitly said you couldn't get the bonus if you've had the card before.

that's awesome. i've definitely gotten an offer that made no mention of having the card previously. i scoured the fine print twice over.

good to know, TY blast

in need of more american airline points.  got the aviator red barclay card last year, they still have the 60k offer right now, assuming i can't get that again since i got the bonus less than 2 years ago, assuming they have similar rules to chase?

UR's don't transfer to american do they?

any other cards with relatively low spend to get bonus?

Don't assume barclay has such rules.  Maybe they do now, but gE was whipping their ass not long ago.

URs transfer to British Airways, which you can use on AA flights although it often requires calling and booking over the phone.

60k AA miles for a single purchase?  Is that for real?

it's a gamble, I'd do some research on recent churning results...

they made me wait two months after closing csp before allowing me to open csr.  i transferred my ur's to a freedom in that time period.

yeah i've transferred my UR's from CSP to Freedom.  Kind of want to cancel CSP and open another, i'll get the CSR again if i need to alternate, but didn't know if you needed to or not.

If you're still getting a lot of bonus points for your CSP purchases, keep it until it's been almost 48 months since you got the bonus.  Then cancel before paying another annual fee and get the CSR once the 48 months have passed since your CSP bonus.

If your CSP hasn't been of much use aside from the intial bonus, cancel and don't pay any more fees and get a CSR when the 48 months has passed (if their big bonus is even still a thing you can get at that point).
