    Sorry to hear about the Breast Cancer. It does suck. Both my Mom and Grandma had it, so I am super vigilant of getting my yearly mammograms. Hope everything goes well!! Freedom Unlimited - 1.5% on every purchase Freedom Flex - 5% on rotating quarterly categories. Your points will stay with...

    So sorry you are going through this. It is so hard to lose a parent. I lost my Mom over 12 years ago. She loved to travel (Dad can take it or leave it). Wish I was into CC's and travel hacking then. Would have loved to bring her more places.

    Does your stomach drop on Guardians of the Galaxy?

    They all gave me that drop feeling.. I used to scream on Space Mountain and my stomach was in knots. Now, I can go on it no problem. Even Slinky and Mine Train would give me the drop feeling, even though the drops were not that big.

    Does your stomach drop on Guardians of the Galaxy?

    I was the biggest ride chicken. These past 2 trips I took a Bonine Tablet everyday. What a difference that made for me. I loved GOG and also tried rides that I have passed up all these years like RNR. I had a blast and didn't get that normal drop in my stomach when on the rides.

    Still trying to plan 2025 vacation. Looking to go back to Europe again. (last May did a cruise to Italy, Greece and Turkey). Looking at Tour Groups for Germany, Austria and Prague but just watched Irish Wish on Netflix and now I want to go to Ireland/Scotland. Any insights on what would be...

    Ok. So I mentioned earlier that I was denied for new Chase Ink. I get home and what is in the mail. A special offer to apply for CIU and get $1200 with $6000 spend. Ughhh!! Are chances better with an invite code??

    Decided to play it safe for now. Got a flyer for US Bank Biz Triple Cash Visa. $500 Cash Bonus for $4500 SUB in 5 months. Will wait a bit on Chase for now and occupy myself with other cards... Instant approval on the US Bank Card.

    Yeah. I was wondering that too. Only other Biz I would need is SW but have to wait a while for those again.

    Same... Just got my denial letter on my resent INK application. Well, it was a good run on the INKS. Reasons were: 1. Too Many Active Accounts or too much Available Credit 2. Too Many Recent Request for Credit 3. New Chase Biz Card Recently Opened. So, I would say they are cracking down...

    Will advise if my CIU gets approved. First time in a long time that I did not get instant approval. Just applied yesterday and got the 7-10 day message. Fingers crossed it magically shows up in my Chase Account. I tend to cancel all previous INK Cards after a year and also lowered my Credit...

    So my Delta Plat Biz just came up for renewal. I was planning on PC to the Delta Gold Biz since they raised the fees. But noticed that they are billing me at the old $250 Fee instead of the New $350. With the $200 hotel credit booked with them plus companion ticket - I am thinking it might...

    So, just like @babyready I applied for an INK today. (After cancelling one ink and lowering credit on another). Got the 7-10 day message. Every other time it was instant approval. Hoping it just shows up in my online account...

    Just chatted with AMEX to cancel my Plat Biz Card. They offered my 20,000 MR's for $20,000 in purchases in 183 days. UMMMM - NO!!! That is a terrible deal. I don't use the benefits enough to warrant the fee and I can do 4 SUB for this...

    Also my AMEX Biz Plat is up for renewal. Not really seeing anything to keep this card - thinking of cancelling unless you guys have some good reasons on why it is a keeper card.

    Time for a new SUB. Just finished both INK Cash and AMEX Gold for DH. So, my turn for a new card. I am 3/24. Last card was an INK Cash in November. I currently have 3 INKS open, will close the oldest one. Was looking at 100,000 United Biz SUB or US Bank Biz Triple Cash Rewards for $500...

    Planning for first trip with a child

    My take on this.. I like my vacations and going to take them when I can. I want to make memories, no matter if they can remember. When the kids are young, Disney is a perfect place to take them as it is geared towards children. Mine are now 25 and 22 and we still go - they love that they grew...

    Planning for first trip with a child

    My kids are older now (25 and 22) but I think a lot of it will depend on your child. Mine always slept well in their strollers so we didn't need to go back for naps. It's also a much slower pace as your are going at their speed and doing rides/shows to accommodate them. Our first trip with...

    We are staying the Intercontinental Miami. Nice location and walkable to restaurants and shops. We have IHG Points/FN Certificates that we are using, otherwise it can be a bit spendy.
