I love credit cards so much! v2.0 (see first page for add'l details)

I received my Hilton SUB for my Surpass! I was a little nervous since I closed by Hilton biz right after opening this account (after I self-referred no less). I'm up to almost 300k Hilton points. Not sure how I'll be using them, was hoping for the Hilton Hawaiian, but if the Citi biz mailers stop working I'm not sure how we'll get there, or at least it might take a little longer. I'm very bummed if the mailers do stop working, of course DH just got one last week that I was planning on using in Sept. It will be interesting to see how it all turns out. I'm trying to keep hope alive that they may still work. I did go to the site and it does include the 48 month language. Oh, and also my Citi stmt closed from Citi card #2 but my 2nd mortgage payment via Plastiq hadn't posted yet so I have to wait another month to see if I receive the SUB so I'll be in suspense another month.

Yay, AmEx points posting dance


Boo, Citi

Good luck! Everything went really smooth for me

Thanks...Probably a silly question...but do you give the Serve card to the cashier and say you want to put $200 on it or am I swiping the Serve card...then the VGC

I got a "Pre-Selected" offer in the mail for US Bank Business card. As my address on it but some random business I have never heard of. $500 Cash back after $4500 in spend in first 150 days. Is this a decent offer and would I be able to use the Offer Code on this?

 

[palhockeymomof2]

That's all I recall from the last mailer we got here (many moons ago), so it seems like there's no indication on the paper, it only pops up when you go to apply. Sneaky. (Or cheap - didn't take the time to update the form letter before sending the latest offer through the printers)

Got it....Thanks...I’m not going to try and use it it anyway

I feel like I have't gotten one in awhile and what I have may be expired, but I'm not home to check. I'll try to remember to look in a few hours.

He might not be ready for a credit card sign up, but the soldier son is ready for a car loan. I'll give him credit, he is being smart and has done his research.

Thank you! I think if it has a 6/15 expiration it should still work until 8/15.

Thanks...hopefully it will work for me...Then I will try the Family Dollar after reading up on how to go about having the Serve are loaded

It was super easy! I just talked up to the cashier and said I would like to load funds onto my Serve account. I handed her my Serve card to swipe, she asked how much, I said $200, waited for it to come up and swiped my VGC, entered my Pin and she handed me the receipt and I was out of there.

Thanks...exactly what I needed to know...super nervous trying it for the first time

no one has any personal AA mailers? I’ll pay $30 for one.

I looked through my pile of old mail and found one, but it expired 6/15 and I'm pretty sure it has the wrong number of digits (12). Am I remembering right that it has to be 9?

I just received the AMEX pop-up when trying to sign P2 up for the Hilton Aspire. I was very surprised by this since P2 currently has 0 AMEX cards. Her last AMEX was closed in 2016 and she had 2 others that were closed in 2014.

I always thought the pop-up was for people that AMEX considered abusing their cards. How can she be abusing their system if she has not even held an AMEX card in the past 3 years?

Has there been any success avoiding the pop up on a 2nd attempt, and if so is there any trick in doing so? Thank you. This is very frustrating as I had been planning a trip assuming I would have no problem getting this card.

2..my business cards are on a separate login from my personal....

How do I get the separate login? Just create a new account? How does the card get linked?

Sorry if these are silly questions. Since all my cards are personal it’s always just been added for me automatically!

I was also but tried to allude an air of confidence. I made sure I memorized the last 4 digits rather than having to keep looking at the card to try not to give it away.

Yeah 9 digits are the good ones lol but that mailer should be good until 8/15

ive was reading of a theory that if you got a popup on one card, the chances are of another card getting the pop up are slim to none. I had one positive DP and also one negative DP. i havent tested this theory since though. If ur up for it, try another card that isnt Hilton and see if you get a pop up there. Note: if one cobrand card gets it, it applies to all their cards... ie Hilton Aspire gets pop up, the rest of the hilton cards will have the popup.
Please report back of results if u do proceed with this ideal.

Thanks. I'm on hold for a few more weeks until I try for CIP#2.

Those who have used aa miles to book the swolphin- did you have to call to get the reservation number to link to mde? Or was it somewhere on the confirmation email?

I had to call swan to get our MDE number. It was super fast though!

 

[punkin]

Does he have a Chase account already? He could SM through there instead of calling...

He has a personal account. I'll check if it's there and SM for it. Then he doesn't have ro call.

I just created another account....no silly questions...we all learn from each other here

 

[wendow]

I'll let you know if I get any. They used to come every other day and then - poof - none for several months. I just figured it was because I didn't use them. I wasn't under 5/24 then so I just ripped them up. Now if I could get some biz mailers.....

I was also getting them all the time and now not getting any. I still get the emailed biz ‘mailers’ every few weeks but I don’t think those work the same as the physical mailers

You'll be fine!! I was exactly the same a few months ago and now this month I got 30K UR just from fee free gift cards from Staples. Also, I have never had to give my Serve card to the cashier. "I'd like to load my Serve card." If they look confused, try saying prepaid debit card. They scan a yellow card. You tell them how much, then you swipe your gift card. Good luck! I think the worst that could happen is the cashier has no idea what to do. Also, at FD only management or supervisors can do the transaction. Just so you don't get more nervous if they call a manager over.

It depends sometimes the cashier will swipe the serve card and sometimes I do it. If you do have to swipe your serve card make sure you do that first and then the VGC.
