Newbie here, just started in July after reading this thread, reddit, and some blogs for a solid month. I
had been planning on getting all the Chase cards that we can before moving on.
I posted a "what should I do" question this am right before the DD news hit
TL;DR version: dh and I will be flying United to India, in business/Polaris, paying real money, this December. The tickets will be about $7500. We are both 1/24, me with CF and dh with CSP. The "long-term" plan was for me to get a CIP this month. DH is not open to biz cards.
Choices:
- I stick with my planned CIP for the flights (3x travel) and dh gets a CFU for the 1.5x OR try for the 100K personal plat amex (for the very large reimbursable expense for the nonprofit project I mentioned a while back)
- I get the CIP and dh gets a Chase United card for the tickets (2x miles + free bags; which card though)
- I get the CIP (ditto) and dh upgrades his CSP to a CSR for the tickets (can this be done so soon?)
- I get the CSR for the tickets and dh tries for the 100K personal platinum amex
Any thoughts?
