Does anyone here have an 11-year old daughter? I'm working on my Fish Extender gifts for my cruise, and am having trouble figuring out what to give an 11 year old girl. I made bows out of DCL and Mickey balloon ribbon for the younger girls, but those seem too juvenilefor her. I made the bows pictured here for her, but are they still too young? For the 18-24 year olds, I made little cosmetic bags out of DCL fabric, but that seems too old for her. Any advice would be appreciated!
Personally I LOVE those! So cute and yet subtle. I showed them to my almost 11-year old (5th grade) and she said she thought most of the girls in her class would wear them.
I think the above is cute but is hit or miss for any age. I'd be more apt to wear that now at 39 than I would have at 11. I wasn't one to really wear bows or ribbons when I was younger, more of a tomboy. But if she's a cheerleader or likes bows and ribbons I can see them being a big hit. Or she could have short hair...
That's true, I just didn't know if a bag at that age would be a big hit. I did Facebook stalk the mom and saw some pics of the girl and she has long hair. Thanks for the feedback!Those are cute but I would go with the bag if it'll fit stuff like a toothbrush/paste, a brush, chapstick etc. I find a bag is always useful for something, I buy more than I need
Congrats on your DVC purchaseJust wanted to update that I put the call in for my DVC add on, using 3 cards and taking advantage of their 0% aprs. Thank you so much to everyone here that helped me through this decision!
I would respectively disagree with this plan (a CIC card now). IF the SW companion pass is the primary goal I wouldn't be putting in a CIC application and hope to get approved for 2 more Chase cards in the next 4 months (including a 2nd biz card). If we were back in July when @Jax1023 last brought this up...I'd be okay with that plan but probably not now.
I would make my next card the SW Business card. We often act as though its expected for Chase to hand us multiple biz cards (and for good reason because they do for most people)...but if for some reason you get denied you can't get your CP now over a wasted CIC application. As long as you manage your spend correctly and hit the MSR in January you should be fine to go for the SW biz in October and pursue a 2019/2020 CP. If you're looking for some guidance on what to avoid with that plan read here: https://www.reddit.com/r/churning/comments/9h4yc0/applying_for_southwest_cards_cp_late_in_the_year/ (this is all the issues people have had when pursuing a SW CP).
Also - what is your plan for getting to 110k SW points? The biz card will get you 60k (plus some base depending on how much spend falls in 2019). We all hope the personal cards go up to 50k at some point but what if they don't? Will you just take a 40k and spend your way to 110k? Do you have a SW flight coming up where you can apply in flight?
Good luck in whatever you decide to do!
EDIT: I would also say there would be little risk in trying for a CIC then in the new year if you let 3-4 months pass from your SW personal application.
EDIT2: I highly recommend that ANYBODY who is pursuing a 2019/2020 companion pass read that link I posted. It's some GREAT insight into how to properly earn the CP.
to your advice above
Lol, Thanks! No worries too - you're advice wasn't bad BUT there's a strange nuance to this situation though...That SW Biz card is a MUST for their CP strategy. Under any other scenario, IF that 3rd card gets denied it's not a big deal...oh well, try again in a few months, maybe get an AMEX card instead, etc. For this scenario if the SW Biz gets denied they don't get their CP which IMO is worth a lot to somebody who can use it even somewhat frequently.
Look what happens when I stray from my usual 3 months between Chase applications ..got caught up in others saying 2-3....
You are definitely the expert and I
Yikes
cuz his points are pending already
for the Chase rep that said he could reapply for it...
