    I love credit cards so much! v6.0 - 2023 (see first page for add'l details)

    Not sure my DP will help .... DH was approved for a CIP in early Jan. I was approved for a CIP late Jan. Our last cards were CIUs in Mar/Apr of last year. We aren't big churners, but I have *lots* of Chase cards. Don't have a banking relationship with Chase. Bummed to hear all the denials...

    If she has stayed there and loved it, then you should be fine! I am not really familiar with Vinings, but it is a nice residential area. The hotel is on Paces Ferry Road and has several good food options across the street. We have been to a few restaurants in Vinings before and that section...

    I should have caught up reading before answering your question!! If you are willing to drive, I would stay in Alpharetta near the Avalon area. Hotel Avalon is wonderful, but pricey. There is a Courtyard by Marriott and Even Hotel across the street which would involve more walking, but Avalon...

    We have stayed in lots of hotels in Atlanta. My favorite in Midtown is the Georgia Tech hotel. The parking garage is right beside the hotel (around $25), quiet, safe, and usually not too expensive. It is about a mile to the aquarium, but you will definitely need to drive. The food options...

    We did this exact thing on our trip to Scotland. We paid for a room in Edinburgh for 4 nights. During that time we took 2 days/1 night to travel up to the Highlands. I was afraid our luggage wouldn't fit in the rental car since our daughter had been studying abroad! I didn't have any regrets...

    I think that I could have written this sentence! As I have worked on our lodging for our Italy trip in May, I have quickly realized the places that I want to stay are incredibly expensive. Definitely needing more chase points.

    My DH and I both approved for CIP in January using Rental Property as the business. We applied as Sole Prop and then selected Real Estate and Rental and Leasing/ Lessors of Real Estate/ Lessors of Resi Bldgs and Dwellings. Instant approval for both with $6K limit. I called and moved enough...

    This is exactly why I check every Amazon charge on the cc (and we have lots of them)! My Dad had a similar issue where he was being charged for the monthly Prime account and he never signed up for it. Took me awhile on the phone with them to get it taken care of. I have also had them recharge...

    This is my question as well. Once approved, the new cards don't usually show up in my account. I have to wait until the card comes to setup the online account. On a different note, my DH applied for a CIP as a sole prop on 1/2/24 and was approved with a $6K limit. After the card arrived, I...

    If anyone is going to the Taylor Swift concert in Indianapolis next November, the Hyatt Regency in downtown is bookable on points. It was 27K for two nights. Hopefully, the hotel is okay since that is the most reasonable place to stay downtown that I have found. The price per night is $1,100...

    Not recently, but I bought a speed queen about 4 years ago and I love it! It is a top loader with an agitator and I can pick the amount of water per load. Not to hijack your thread, but we are in the market for a RV sized washer/dryer to put in a small house if anyone has any recommendations.

    Thanks for sharing. I will need to call and see if I have to book a flight to get the Disney tickets. We are going in October, so I put in hotel/car transfer and it says to call to add Disney tickets. We are about 5 hours away, so it doesn't really make sense to fly. I would much rather use...

    I still have $1,400 left from that same promo. In the past we have made hotel only reservations, so glad to know that option is still available. I was hoping to book one room for a few nights when we go to Italy in May. I am just having a difficult time matching up the Delta Vacation hotels...

    Great ideas! We just signed the papers today on purchasing my Grandparents home, so I have also requested vintage dishware that she used to have. I have found a decent amount of Spice of Life dishes while cleaning out the house, but I am also looking for the Corelle plates she used everyday...

    Need a new washing machine! I've always wanted a Speed Queen but . . .

    We had a Kenmore set that lasted about 25 years. When it wasn't worth repairing, I asked the repairman which machine to buy and he told me Speed Queen. I was looking at other brands in Lowe's and the sales guy told me to pick the cheapest machine since it would only last 5 years. We ended up...

    Hopefully our 9 hour flight on United will have screens! That will be a long flight without it.

    I agree that we will be right back at the announcement in a couple of years. We definitely need to look at status with UA and AA. We no longer live in Atlanta and have to take a connecting flight to all destinations. UA and AA both service our local airports so I really need to start looking...

    I think you will be fine with a 5:45 reservation. They didn't start playing until 8:30 on the night we were there. Just wear comfy shoes because it is probably a 15 minute walk from the Venetian using the walkway to the Sphere. Not sure where you are staying, but we Ubered there and walked...

    Thanks for the suggestions! We aren't locked to Delta, but DH is PM so he prefers to fly Delta. Thankfully, they walked back some of their changes for next year so he can keep status another year or two.

    We saw U2 at the Sphere a few weeks ago and it was amazing! We brought back Covid souvenirs from Vegas, but it hasn't been too bad. Hopefully, something pops up for your next year trip. I wasn't able to book our flights to Italy when the window for May 2024 opened, but I have just recently...
