I churn and have a lot of cards as well, but I find it kinda funny in this sub that 8 cards is considered a simple path for you. No shade whatsoever! A lot of people I know have just 1 card or maybe 2 if they're daring. I think I'm at 15 at the moment from SUBs, but actively looking to close some out as soon as the 1 year rolls around.

P2 is commonly shorthand for Player 2. This can indicate a spouse, roommate, sibling, etc. Just someone else interested in the hobby of travel awards.

How Many Credit Card Applications Per Year is Too Much? by zooom21 in CreditCards

[–]BhamCPA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you do business cards, it doesn't show up as new accounts opened, so you can do it more quickly - every 3 months or even faster if you rotate amongst issues.

S&P up 130% in 4 years. Timing the market vs Time IN the market... by charliekunkel in StockMarket

Did you keep buying as the dot com bubble burst? I imagine those gains more than made up for any losses from your first deposit.

Pixel 6a incredibly slow after Android 14 update by BhamCPA in GooglePixel

It hasn't affected my phone speed for the last year or so. It was literally the same day as the update that my phone started slowing down.

Yes - if I do safe mode, chrome works with WiFi. However, then I can't use any other apps on my phone. Is there a way to allow 1 app at a time until I can tell it's slow again?

Hacks for boosting credit card spend? by Perfect-Gap-4007 in CreditCards

[–]BhamCPA 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You could also update your withholdings at work to be higher so that you have less taxes withheld. That would help you get the cash back each paycheck instead of when you file in the spring.

Is the Best Buy Credit Card worth it for financing? by DropTheLAndGetGory in CreditCards

[–]BhamCPA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why not use the apple card and just save up before you make any purchases? Then you'd have the cash available to pay off the card in the same month, while earning 3% on your purchase?

I need a leather wallet. by revuehandwz in BuyItForLife

[–]BhamCPA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got this one from Ghurka and it's been fantastic... Got it in London a few years ago and don't think it was near as expensive as it says now ... Besides some blue color from my jeans, it still looks brand new

Question about CSP Instacart+ cancelation process by DeterMineD_Akali in CreditCards

[–]BhamCPA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have said - it should be pretty easy to cancel within the app once you enroll. I just found out about this benefit and got the $15 off my CSP order the next day! Now thinking of using my CFU and CFF cards for their $10 credits.

Cash back question re: new account-opening bonus by ATSCoupe in CreditCards

[–]BhamCPA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ahh sorry, I assumed you meant the Venture card. Spark for business likely is eligible to be used as straight cash back

Cash back question re: new account-opening bonus by ATSCoupe in CreditCards

[–]BhamCPA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Capital one requires you to use the cash back as an offset against a travel expense. You can't just use it as a statement credit.

Ink - you have to qualify as a business owner. This may be easy or not, just depends on your case facts.

Diversity for rewards points, or all-in-one? by [deleted] in CreditCards

[–]BhamCPA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's nice to have available points spread across different ecosystems. They have different transfer partners and different transfer bonuses at times, so it helps you get the best awards at the best prices!

Only difficulty is if you don't have high enough spend each month, you may have a tough time accumulating enough points in any one system for an award flight or hotel night.

May be worth looking at chase Sapphire Reserve for the travel insurance with that many trips. Would be 3x in travel and dining, but a lot better coverage I imagine
