why till sept? why not just wait until the day after you lock your rate and apply then?i don't think a couple new cards would impact your rate, but i wouldn't eff around with it. when i got my mortgage, the lender did have me fill out some form explaining my frequent credit card applications. i don't think it impacted my rate, but who knows.
Not sure is run around applying for a bunch of new credit just before closing.
I have some United Club passes that are expiring at the end of June and I don't think I will be able to use them. Does anyone want them? I will mail them to you if so.

I wonder if I could just scan them and email them to you. I think the number on the back of them is the only thing you need. fwiw, you don't need to be flying United to use them. just spending time in an airport with a United lounge.
after you email the scans to raquet, you can slip the originals in the mail to me. i don't need them for a week and a half.

so i think i may have posted this earlier in this thread but couldnt find it- i got denied for a few of the nicer cc's because i had a blemish on my credit from almost 2 years ago that had been closed but hadnt been reported to the bureaus. when i applied they all said no because that was the only thing showing up besides my student loans. about 2 months ago i looked at my credit score and filed an official protest to the collection agency and finally today i got an email saying i won and it was off my credit officially. i just got a crappy credit card but it doesnt get me any points or anything. should i wait like 30 days before re-applying for a better card or just do it now? i feel like ive applied for 4 or 5 cards in the last 60 days and it could look a bit desperate.ps- sd! ive been using my card for everything and it feels so great except for i want to be earning points and cool stuff, like you.
Is the World Elite AA card worth the extra fee?
Oh man, I have spent a little while trying to figure out what big vacation I want to try and earn points for. Been reading up on these stopover and openjaw deals and I think I want to try and do a stopover in Rio and then end up in Lima Peru before coming back to the states on one roundtrip reward flight. It looks like Delta and United (and their airline alliances) might have the ability to do this. I am still trying to figure it out. Basically I need to figure out which airline or group would have the best availability for this trip sometime mid 2014 for the least amount of points. And/or which one would be easiest to earn the amount of points needed for a trip like this. Need some pro help
SD, should I be paying rent, loans, etc. all with my CC to gain points and then pay it off immediately? I've thought about this, but I could see how it could get you into trouble if you weren't paying attention all the time.
