I love credit cards so much! v2.0 (see first page for add'l details)

Thinking of getting CSR card when I ditch my Disney card. I already have CFU and CIP. But the CIP I try to keep just for business expenses. Thoughts?

Solid choice as long as it won't put you at 5/24.

Since you have a legit biz have you considered picking up CIC and CIU? I work with a legit biz to and the Chase biz trifecta is quite handy. CIC 5x categories are pretty sweet. You can always downgrade a CIP and then get another CIP to bag a bigger referral when you're running a legit biz it might just be better to get the cards you want and not mess with downgrading stuff.

I know the website is where to get more Amex offers. But for well over a week now when I go to look it says "Sorry about that! It doesn't happen often, but offers are currently unavailable. Please try again later." This is for every card I have. But on the app I will get 50. Any ideas?

I get that too. It comes and goes. The irony of "it doesn't happen often" gets to me lol. Sometimes a different browser will work.

I would like to use the $25 off of $45 for a new membership AMEX offer. Our current membership is in my name. If P2 uses the employee card with the loaded offer on it to purchase the new membership and adds me as the secondary do you think that affects the offer?
Additionally, if we've bought the lifetime tire rotation under the existing membership does that benefit go away?

RetailMeNot is having up to 20% cash back today - worth a look.

Amex Plat folks - Saks is on there for 16% cash back.

Macy's is at 20%. Which pushed me to use the Amex Offers Macy's $75 get $15 and 5% online department stores stack.

Amex credited me $25 today. I had given up on getting the credit for that offer so thats nice. (Its been months, all of my other offers credit in like 2 days).

Citi AA biz folks- when did you see the SUB post?

Me too! I'm guessing it's from Sam's club, but the wording is a bit cryptic....

Every time I use the Chase app to log into my business account to check offers, the app stops when I click on "Check more offers". Has this happened to anyone else, and if so have you found a solution? I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app, but that didn't fix it. I'm on Android, if that helps. I really want to see those offers!

Having this issue as well. Did the same uninstall then reinstall the app and still nothing.

Not just you. Lots of complaints on the biz offers. Mine says I have 8 but I can't view them, the app just crashes. I keep hoping they release an update soon to fix it. (Or magically fix it like they magically broke it) Last time I could get into it I only had 4 offers so I'm missing out

I noticed when I clicked to add an offer it did let a new offer appear. So I figured if I'm going to use those offers I just write the detail of it down in case I can't pull it up again. But definitely would just rather have a resolution for this.

I had a weird experience. I haven't been around here much because I have been slowing my roll just a bit until I 'reset' my 5/24 but, alas, it's annual fee season for me so I may as well fire things up again

My last cards were Citi AA Biz cards for both DH and myself, I signed up 7/24 and "he" signed up 8/24. Both offers were 60k AA/3k spend. I didn't screen shot (lesson learned) but I did put it into my churning spreadsheet. In fact I remember being disappointed it was 'only' 60k at the time. Regardless, had both MSR finished within about a month having the card in hand and his points popped in fairly quickly. My points never showed. I did a chat (I know we don't call CS but this was a legit signup-no graavy nonsense or otherwise abuse ). The rep told me the reason my points weren't there was because my offer was a 65k AA/4K spend and I had until 12/8 to finish it. Has anyone had this happen before? I did a screen shot of the chat because I somehow don't think these magic points will pop in after another $502 in spending but I guess I will try.

Mine does the exact same thing! The only thing I can see is the few offers that show at the bottom of the app but beyond that if I click into it I get a force close. I have Android. Not sure if Iphone would have better luck?

I don't think it would since the CIP doesn't show up on my credit report and is using the biz EIN.

I haven't looked into the CIC and CIU. Do they have annual fees and what not? What would be the benefit for the biz to have all three?

I get this in chrome but I can usually pull up the offers if I switch to a different browser.

Neither the CIC or the CIU have AF's. I love the CIC. It earns 5x at office supply stores and for all telecommunications bills (cell phone, internet, cable, landline).

I usually just click around and keep trying. Most times clicking over to Statements & Activity, then back to Home seems to work.

I just ordered a coat for my son with that same idea for those extra discounts!

Good to know. I'm in chrome. Off to firefox I go, LOL

 

[misse336]

depending on where on east coast I'd say jetblue is your best bet since it flies direct from Boston...so easy. Buuuut Southwest has the great companion pass,which is helpful for a family of 5.(no direct flights tho)

We'd probably fly out of either BWI or Philadelphia. Is JetBlue only good out of Boston?

Thats what mine would be too! And yea mine says like business office or something weird.

Basically, if you open 2 SW cards (both biz) then you can hit 125,000 pts and earn a companion pass. Thus would let one of your travel party fly free. That plus the 125,000 points should cover all of your flights or close to it. Whats your preferred hotel chain? Marriot, Hilton, Hyatt, IHG - all have cards you can sign up for to obtain points. Because Hilton, IHG, and Marriot have 4th or 5th night free you can extend those points further on longer bookings. Hyatt has low point cost per night at some hotels but a smallerfootprint. With 5 you may find Hilton your best bet since you could use points at Embassy Suites or Doubletree Suites or Homewood Suites to get a larger room.

Eta- a quick note, we don’t recommend more than 1 Chase issued card every 3 months (but you and your husband are considered separate so you could stagger there- DONT make each other AUs). Also if you are unsure of your preferred flights or hotels, or don’t want a tie in to one chain, you could consider a UR (ultimate rewards) card that earns Chase points good for transfer to certain partners or redeemed at up to 1.5x through their portal (expedia basically). The recommended card there would be a Chase Ink Preffered if you can do a biz card. ANY biz (selling ebay/fb/babysitting ect) can count.

We don't really have a preferred hotel chain at this point. Most of the time that we've vacationed we've stayed in Air BnB type places to have the extra room and laundry/kitchen.

Not sure how'd I'd qualify for a business card? DH has a side business and would definitely be able to get one, but I don't do anything that would qualify for one.

Has anyone had any luck pulling the 45k AmEx Green offer? I might pull the trigger on it if I could get that.

I pulled it incovfefe last week.
