[maybe later]

Hello all- I have been reading for awhile but this is my first post. I have learned so much reading this forum and wanted to say thank you! I am looking for advice for my next card. I do not have any concrete vacation plans, possibly Europe next year. We tend to use our points as soon as we earn them. We fly out of Atlanta and have the SW companion pass through next year. I was thinking about going for another CIP next month but not sure since I have 4 open business cards. Husband has 3 open business cards so it may be Ok for another CIP for him next month? We organically spend about $3000 per month on credit and have recently started to MS.

Our current cards are:

Player 1
Chase ink cash 9/18
Chase ink business unlimited 10/18
Chase ink preferred 12/18
Chase Hyatt 4/19
Chase ink preferred 7/19

Player 2
American Express Blue sky 8/95
Chase Freedom 11/13
Chase sapphire preferred 9/18 pc to chase sapphire reserve 9/19
Chase SW 11/18
Chase SW business 12/18
Chase ink preferred 3/19
Chase ink preferred 7/19

Plus a few old department store cards we rarely use.

I think his reasoning is sound I like how you guys ate thinking a couple steps out - it’s great to strategize like that.

Thanks! We don’t have any immediate plans for chase points so we’ll probably just stockpile them until we’re ready to use them. Right now, our big trip is our cruise in November and we don’t have any other plans besides trying to visit places in Florida.

Dh has gotten so much better with ccs. Not that he was ever against them because he wasn’t but I was always the one doing the research. Now he’s always reminding me what the categories are and what card he thinks we should go for next lol.

I think my question got buried so I'm going to re-ask (Sorry!). If I close my business checking and savings accounts with Chase is that going to effect my CIP card?

Also does anyone know why I'm not allowed to generate a referral link for my Disney card?

DS's SUB of posted today for his CIP. I gave him the $850 cash and then transferred them to my CSR as I will get more value that way. So, now am back up to around 430,000 UR"s (having used a bunch for 2 cruises)

Almost done with with spend on the US Bank Business Card for $500 cash back. Just have to put this months mortgage on there and that is done. Funny how quickly some of these spends are done. So, now trying to figure out my next move.

Want the CP for 2020/2021 so going to get the SW Performance Business Card Mid October so I have until Mid-January. Also, think I will try using the mailer my office got for the Cap 1 Spark Business for $1000 cash with 10,000 Spend. I have until 10/22 to do that one. I will then have $15,000 in spend to do. But I will have Spring Tuition Due that I can pay in December/January so that will take up most of it. Otherwise I would not attempt that. I know the Cap 1 will count as a slot but I think it is worth it for the SUB.

I am 3/24 now - the Cap 1 will bring me to 4/24. I have another card falling off in December bringing me back to 3/24 so may get SW Personal in January or another SW Biz Card.

Does this sound Ok - anything I am not thinking of or missing?

I wouldn't think closing your checking accounts would have any effect on your CIP. Sometimes I've had where I don't have the referrals show up on the Chase main page and end up having to use their search and search refer. But then they have always been there.

Ok great I wasn't sure!

That's what I've been trying but it keeps telling me I'm not eligible to refer people. Any idea why that got taken away from my my account?

I had a serious case of luggage envy when Away had their limited edition Solstice Collection.
https://www.travelandleisure.com/travel-bags/away-northern-lights-luggage-launchI just loved the iridescence, even though I knew it’d likely get scuffed up. I fought the FOMO and won.

My kiddo wants her own suitcase, and I’ve been thinking of picking up a blush pink carry-on or kid’s carry-on for her for our holidays trip.

 

[gottalovepluto]

DAMN APPLE! They came out with a purple iPhone! I'm someone who owns EVERYTHING in purple. Grrrrr. Guess I need a new card to hit a spend on, LOL. Truth be told, I'll probably keep rocking my iPhoneXs in gold in my purple sparkle case. I mean the purple phone would be in a purple case anyways.

Nooooo!!!! I have a purple problem too

1) nope. You’ll be fine.

2) is it a Premier? Those won’t generate referrals

I don't have a purple problem, but I do have an iPhone problem, and I have NEVER kept a phone 3 years in my life, like the one I currently have.

How old Lain?

If you're going to get one, get the actual carry-on. Or honestly, even the big carry-on. Not much bigger, it's 4 wheels so moves about the same w/ adjustable heigh handle, but they can use it for years and years. Whereas the kids is done with after they outgrow it.

I have a phone problem, too, but the opposite--I hate to get rid of my current phones and have had my current one almost 5 years. I know it's only a matter of time before it has to be upgraded but I dread that, in part because it will mean I need to go through all of the photos on my phone. Which brings me to a question--does anyone know an easy way to get prints made from photos on the iphone? My current method is to email the photo to myself, download it onto my computer, then upload it to Costco or Walgreens or Shutterfly. I would be surprised if there is not some more efficient way to do it.

It is. Really I could've sworn I had one at one point. UGH!

Why can't the carry-on come in those amazing colors??? (We're trying to do carry-on only for India in December and going forward)

Oh wait, it does but only without the battery. Decisions, decisions, decisions!

edited again----ugh the orange, yellow, turquoise, and purple are already sold out

Yeah, I was leaning towards the actual carry-on. I saw a pair of toddlers at SNA with their own kid’s carry-ons and those things are small — cute, but small. My kiddo just turned 6 and tends to overpack. She’s fine handling our Tumi international carry-ons, and wants her own luggage, but it has to be pink.

I’m team get her an away bag! The bright pink is cute too. Do they have any stores in San Francisco. I wanted to take my bag to the NY store and get my initials.

She might also need some packing cubes

If you download the Shutterfly app you can upload from your phone directly to Shutterfly.
