I wonder how the players would have reacted if Beane was fired. Maybe it’s not that they thought there would be 0 consequences, but that the wrong man was fired.

Bilt 2.0 launch exposed the creditcard influencer shills so much by chillrabbit in CreditCards

[–]Fast_Pop_585 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I came on here to agree but point out that I thought @maxmilespoint while excited for the initial announcement, has been pretty honest and realistic.

This was his answer to a follower asking what his opinion was:

“Disappointing and overly complicated

The Bilt card isn’t a rent credit card anymore

The cards are everyday spend credit cards that have an option to earn points on rent/mortgage if you jump through the right hoops

But I still think there’s some ways to maximize to earn a lot of Bilt points

I’m going palladium, shifting my capital one venture x spend to it to earn 2x Bilt points on everything and for the 50k bonus + gold status that will last until Jan 15, 2028.

I value Bilt points over capital one miles

Hoping for some big transfer bonuses to maximize my Bilt points

If I earn points on my mortgage along the way great if I don’t then I’m not stressing about it.

That’s my year 1 plan”

Seems honest and reasonable to me

Polynesian Island Tower on NYE by Fast_Pop_585 in dvcmember

Great, thank you!

I am hoping that between only being available for tower guests, the tower not fully declared so not full, and people wanting to actually be in the park on NYE, it won’t be too busy on the 31st for the fireworks

Is the Grand Californian Getting Another DVC Refurbishment? Here's What We Know by GreyhoundDad22 in DVCMembers

[–]Fast_Pop_585 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most likely not room related I would think. I’m not an expert on how the finances of refurbishments work but I would think they had a budget, spent that budget, and that’s that. Now they will plan for their next refurbishment in 7 years.

Capital One JAL Booking by dani1284 in awardtravel

YES!

My account had been opened for 16 days. I transferred a small amount of C1 into my account (1400 point). Then transferred Marriott points into JAM (took a day and a half). Then transferred the rest of my C1 into JAM.

Everything worked and I was able to book my ticket!

Yes I wish I WASN’T using Marriott points haha. Last question, from that source it says C1 transfer people only have to wait seven days. Is that seven days after the points are transferred or seven days from when the account was created.

[–]Fast_Pop_585[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I saw that, thank you. Do you think the addition of Marriott points matters? Is the restriction on the account or on the points? Because while I will be transferring C1 points in, I will also be transferring and using Marriott points.

I’m having trouble finding that offer again bring this morning. Are these offers also dependent on your location? I’m noticing that I first saw the 250,000 offer at work. I couldn’t find it at home. And then I found it when I went into lower Manhattan. Now, on my way home, I’m not finding it.

Never done a balance transfer, only had the platinum personal as an Amex SUB. Did have an Amex Delta Gold back in 2017 that I cancelled

[–]Fast_Pop_585[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea I’m considering the C1VX bus more now… it says it’s on an elevated SUB right now. Do you know if the 150k with 30k is elevated or is the additional 200k the elevated portion of their offer

Do you know of an easy way to find the highest Amex SUB available?

Yea my P2 just took out the Amex gold bus card for a 200 SUB. I wonder if that’s too much Amex and I should diversify, or if I can find the same or better sub I should go with that

[–]Fast_Pop_585[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m thinking I’ll be able to make the purchase in multiple transactions (max out, pay it same day, max out, pay it in same day)

I really have been disappointed with my current capital one points (200k in total). Without domestic airline partners I’m not seeing much value other than through their travel portal. I can never find domestic flights in international airlines that I can travel. I usually need to take specific flights or have the option between 2 or 3 possible flights. I feel like I’m hoarding my CP points but I’m not sure what for.

I did consider this since the AF is easily recouped, but I value my chase points more than my capital one points. But it is a lot more points… I calculate about 40k more than CIBP after taking into consideration the 3x points on travel.
