w00t! same! crazy that it's been four years since my last bonus.
If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

Current Chase Lineup:

CSP
Freedom (rotating 5%)
Hyatt
One of the SW
IHG

Will drop the IHG when it's time to do the SW bonus/companion pass thing again.

I'm good to get this now right? My third statement should cut Jan 2022 so the points hit then and not 2021 unless i mess up, correct? i can never remember the timing here.

Also, Chase messed up my rebooking. They didn't ticket the new flights somehow. On my second 45m call as they are scrambling because i think the flight is full now.  :sdeek: I'm being very nice but  :curse: :curse: :curse:

LOL. Got rebooked. "Uh, thank you for the long wait Mr. SF, I have you ticketed this time and I wanted to let you know that in doing so, the new flight was less expensive with a savings of $24.59 per ticket. However, airline policy is that any savings below $25 are forfeited". haha

I'm considering doing this but I have to decide by tomorrow. Staying at the Grand Hyatt Kauai for a week in July and this status may pay off just for that. Combined with business travel probably picking up in 2022 for me this could be beneficial. Probably can squeeze in 5 or 6 nights in KC but the KC Hyatt options near my office are like staying in a dumpster behind a buffalo wild wings. so that's not great. probably get 4 nights in Wichita though over the holidays.

It's not like we have traffic and then you'd be close to visiting Phil!

SW now has like 3 different 100k pt cards out there. $12k in spend required but you'd be about all the way to the companion pass for two years if you time them right and get a card in like Dec. I'm going to do this for myself and my wife so we'll have two comp passes for our kids.

Saw this. So like, December 6th you apply and then hit 12k spend Jan the following year? Then get a business or whatever to hit the rest?

yeah, or just hit it on spend or flights. you only need 125k so spend 25k on it or fly some or whatever. but a business card would for sure work.

The timing is the thing i'm afraid i'll mess up on. Being a dumbass, I almost mess up the timing for a 3 month spend period. Trying to nail 12k over a year is something I'm sure I'll screw up and hit in November as opposed to January.

Ok I'm confused again. I reread the offer and you get 50k after the first 3 months and then an additional 50k if you hit 12k in spend for the year. If you apply in December, your first 50k will hit in March ish 2022. Then you can time the next 50k to hit in Jan the following year. Won't you then have to generate 75k more to get the companion pass since the first 50k hit in March 2022? I was thinking the 100k hit all at once and then you just had to get 25k more.

no, just spend an assload on it in january and let it all hit then and then find the other 12k pts somehow asap and you'll have a companion pass the entire rest of 2022 as well as all of 2023. not that complicated tbh.

Gotcha. I was thinking you got the 100k at once so you did it over a year period so it all hit 2023. Gotcha, going to get in December and buy the crap out of stuff. Thanks

Yeah, but not sure what their current bonuses are
