not dumb I wanna know too! :rotfl:

Can't speak for @Alexle2007 but I earned enough with CIC SUB buying gc with the CIC at OD/OM. I'm now working on another Hyatt redemption and will do the something similiar with that.

CIC-->OM/OD (or Staples)=5X UR
ETA-CIC UR--> CSP/CSR/CIP
CIP/CSR/CSPUR-->Hyatt=free nights

(sorry I left out that step)

So I need another 11 K Hyatt points...wait for another OD/OM promotion, buy $2200 worth of gc and then have 11K Hyatt points to round out my 29K and 1 night in Copenhagen done. :)

Obviously much easier to just pay for the night OOP but not nearly as fun, lol.

If you have the BJ's offer on another card, it's rumored that BJ's will have Disney GCs at 6.5% off on BF. I'm holding off on using my Chase offers to max the discount (Chase, BJ's and RMN).

I am hoping the offer might show up on both our CIP cards. We just got them and they aren't showing any offers yet. Thanks for the heads up. Kinda wish I had known, but it is still a good deal.
 
Check again! My app is magically fixed this morning. I have offers on all my cards now (before it never showed offers for the SW Premier) and I can view them all and switch between cards just like the personal login.

Got the BJs on all cards... Looks like the SW card will actually get a charge after MSR. :laughing:

Thanks for posting this....went back and checked my app and the SW Biz had the BJs offer which wasn't there a couple days ago.

That makes sense. I need to read up more on the MS and start utilizing my CIC. The closest OM/OD is about 30 mintues from me, so I feel funny doing multiple transactions, but I just may have to get over it :rotfl2:
 


I just heard back from AA about my cancellation on my room only. They issued me a travel voucher that expires in Sept 2020. Does that mean I have to travel by Sept or book something by Sept?
 
Oh, didn't realize. Thanks. So if I want the SUB I'll have to get the card myself as the CSP is in my P2's name.

I know it is confusing, but honestly the better plan would be to support P2 to the CSP now then upgrade your card to the CSR. If I am not mistaken, the CSP is at 60,000 vs the CSR 50,000 and you would get 15,000 support bonus (I believe, I don't currently have the card). That is a minimum of $250 in value over doing that then just having P2 sign up for CSR.

ET - sorry realized I mixed up players in my scenario, but hopefully you get the drift.
 
So glad it worked out! It's kind of weird to see an adjustment months after your upgrade. Here are the DPs I mentioned: 1 and 2.

One more thing: DO NOT downgrade until at least one year after your upgrade. Amex really frowns on downgrades or cancellations within a year of accepting an upgrade offer and has been known to clawback the upgrade bonus in these cases.

Thank you @Lain. That's really good to know.

This is great information, I had no idea. Thank you.
DH's original card was opened 3/24/18, upgraded 10/07/19.
I'll pay the prorated AF later this month, then pay $450 in April 2020? I can downgrade the card 11/01/2020?

Do you usually wait for the FNC to post before downgrading? You only have 30 days after the renewal to get your money back. Or do you guys think it's worth keeping this card and not downgrade?

Still not working for me. 🙁 I'm going to try to install the app on our iPad tonight. DD5 is the only one who is happy about having a 3rd 35% off Olive Garden offer, lol. Hoping for the BJs offer!
 
The Gold credit is a great card for the average family with the 4 points on restaurants and groceries. I will probably keep this card despite the AF. I feel like the platinum card is really for the business traveler. I can't see how this card benefits the vacationer that flies 3 or 4 times a year.

I think the BBP is a great card with 2 points on everything and no AF. The green card is a solid card with 3 points on travel, but the perks with the AF??? Clear is ok, but if you travel as a family whats the point of one person having it. The travel bag is nice, but what about the second year you have the card?
Exactly this for me. I just payed the AF for the first time, my timing was perfect last year, I got the first years fee waived and two weeks later they came out with the refresh. I'm not a huge fan of the dining credit, but it's getting better around me. I want the BBP so badly, I would SD every other card I have other than my CSP if I had one.

Thank you, thank you! Finally can see the offers! Now I wish I had left my SW Biz open a few days longer, lol.
 
How do I dispute a charge on CIP? I was accidentally double charged for something,and the rep I spoke to said to talk to cc company about it....I think I'll need to get them to reverse it (?)
 
Obviously I'm missing something for the Chase offers. I can see them on personal accounts just fine. What magic do I need to see them for biz logins?

EDIT - found them in the app, but it crashes every time I click to see more offers. Updated app, but maybe I need to uninstall and reinstall.

Can someone remind me of the Barclay website for their AA card? I haven’t used my card since meeting the MSR and can’t find the site.
This is the one I can cancel and should cancel before the year/ annual fee hits correct?
I cancelled my wife's the other night...forgot to cancel mine yesterday so thanks for the reminder, lol!!
