What's your companion pass strategy or do you have another year?
I let it lapse last year. Probably shouldn’t have but got lazy.

Keep your boxes and heavy cards and turn CSR back into a points machine with reasonable fees

How do you bro's put 30k on a new credit card in 6 months to get the bonus? I'm around 2k a month in normal spend on my CSR but have a wedding coming up and am looking at new cards and think I can barely make it without doing the long slog of switching over all my regular expenses to this card for 6 months (along with wedding stuff) then cancelling it and switching it all back over to a new card.

Maybe I'm getting old but that just seems like a lot of work. Why cant I just apply for a card, spend like 5K in 3 months and get a ton of points?!?!
Take it to the stud things thread. $24k / year in credit card expenses sounds super low to me unless there’s a bunch of stuff you’re purposely not paying for with a credit card.

I put pretty much everything on my credit cards. Except for my monthly recurring bills, which I sit down and reconcile each month before issuing personal checks and balancing my ledger. Also, my morning coffee (at McDonald's) I pay for in cash so I can tip the cashier boys. All my meals, come to think of it. Major expenses all draw directly from my bank account. I don't even have any credit cards, come to think of it.
My winning smile and can-do attitude.

Current CSR holder who will get out before next fee. Want to get a CSP and that bonus. Just got generic-ish email offering CSP w/75k bonus. If I click thru, will there be a spot that tells me up front if i can get that bonus? I hit all 3 categories of "bonus MAY not be available" in the email.

This credit card is unavailable to you if you currently have one open. The new cardmember bonus may not be available to you if you currently have any other personal Sapphire cards open, previously held this card or received a new cardmember bonus for this card. We may also consider the number of cards you have opened and closed, as well as other factors in determining your bonus eligibility.

So the sapphire world is basically over for life right? I mean one can get it but never again will the bonus miles be awarded?

Mrstdaver is in the same situation.  Tried for CSP, received notice that could get card but not bonus, and then was able to cancel application.
