    Are these the convoluted 60k via 40k and 20k after spending more or is there a 60k offer after hitting initial spend?

    All of them are convoluted besides the $99 business one

    Question for you sir

    How long are you waiting in between Citi AA mailers to apply for another card? Are you closing any?

    Just hit minimum spend for the 50k (heard I should send a message and say I saw a 60k offer and they’ll match).

    Can I already apply for another card since I got another mailer today with a different invite code?

    I called on Saturday and got a 30 days message. Called tonight and said I was approved.

    texasraider watch for your points. I’m not sure if you get them now that I’m approved or when I hit the min spend.

    Yep, for free. I think the number is their general business customer service line: 1-800-242-7338. You can call and ask. I got my CIP expedited and it arrived in 2 days.

    Just got an instant approval for the chase freedom for my little side business, I won't run enough expenses through it to justify the sapphire card (1-1.5K per month) and I like the 0% interest for a few months cause i've got one item that I need to charge that I won't pay off for a few months. First new credit card for me in 10 years.

    Feel like I’ve been missing out bad. I had sapphire and downgraded after hitting bonus. I already got bonus on reserve. I guess I was scared my credit would get screwed up from opening and closing a ton of credit cards. Is that not the case?

    Roughly speaking, how many nights will 210k SPG points cover for their highest redemption level resorts? We talking part of one night, or 2-3 nights?

    spg points don't exist anymore. Do you mean old spg points or 210k marriott points?

    Either way I believe the top is 85,000 Marriott so either 2 or 7 depending on your answer

    Very cool for my fiancée to get to wrap her head around TWO free nights at a 5star resort simply for putting in her SSN and using a card for shit we would have bought anyway.

    Finally got my dog’s first AA mailer months later.

    So I just use all of my own info same as my first card, but use the invitation code from the card and all will be good?

    SPG Lux is the favorite. Others are cheaper but fewer points

    Just read first page and I’m in.

    As mentioned, I already have reserve and recently(month ago) downgraded out of preferred to the unlimited.

    Should I cancel my reserve and sign back up?
    Get another sapphire?
    Is the Southwest CCs still good? I’m going to be flying to Midwest a lot and would be great.

    Any other suggestions. I’m going to start reading the whole thread, but are the older pages out of date and a waste?

    Shit load of questions so will show appreciation in likes.

    Are the Reserve and Unlimited your only two cards? When did you get them? For the Unlimited, the application date would be when you got the Preferred since you downgraded.

    You can't get a new CSR yet.

    You're probably going to wait a few days and get a southwest double dip and companion pass for 2019-20 and save yourself thousands

    Isn’t the Southwest double dip now the biz card + a personal card? Thought I remembered reading that Chase put in a 1 SW card at a time rule.

    You keep it or downgrade it to a free card. You should be clear on the moves before you jump in. Canceling is not an option you ever take if you can get a free card
