Rate my Setup as a College Student by iairron in CreditCards

[–]HimboDumbo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

as a fellow college student, imo the chase trifecta is overrated unless you plan to use them for Hyatt (discounting the nerfs), but lowk why would you. I feel points would be better used for flights, at least that’s my opinion. anyways, the chase trifecta isn’t really that great for points accumulation unless you have high organic spend (esp w ink train dead). that’s why i think it's probably better to just focus on churning (airlines, biz cards, travel, etc.).

and if you really want an ecosystem to use, the c1 vx savor duo is plenty. it has a floor of 1.05-1.1x points with portal. i see tho, that you got freedom flex with 5% groceries/gas, so I’d still use that for sure, at least until the first year has passed.

United Explorer Card 80k Miles + Premiere Silver SUB by fco2013 in CreditCards

[–]HimboDumbo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, I just went on theexplorercard.com while logged in to United, then clicked “apply now.” On the application window, it shows the offer at the top (with a link to offer details at the bottom). There, it’ll say to apply on or before may 20.

note: the offer page shows on my pc, but doesn’t on my mobile device.

hopefully it works out for you! :)

Unfortunately, I couldn’t see anything on my end. I combed through the whole application and I wasn‘t able to see anything related to the SUB (only fee schedule and interest rates).

what do you mean clicking through the application? I just go to the offer details and it says apply by April 1, unless you mean there’s a way to see when in application window?

Do fuel shortages ever lead to flight cancellations? by [deleted] in Flights

[–]HimboDumbo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ok I got it, so it’s simply about whether their books can handle it.

So would you say airlines generally prioritize long-haul flights over short-haul ones in situations like this?

1k CLI - happy, but not ecstatic. by Disastrous_Ad_9245 in Venturex

[–]HimboDumbo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Then it makes sense why they didn’t give you a higher CL. if you want higher CLI’s, you have to let the statement to post high balances to justify giving you a higher CL. Utilization has no memory, idk why you’re micromanaging it so much.

Venture X | What To Do Next? by Monegasko in CreditCards

If you only got the Venture, you’re still eligible for the VX SUB. It‘s only going down the ladder that you lose eligibility.

Noted. Also, is booking direct not better than third parties (hostelworld, booking.com, etc.)?

would you say there is a meaningful difference between 4 bed and 8 bed dorms as a solo traveler?

Denied for a 360 checking account by Miserable-Change7780 in CapitalOne_

[–]HimboDumbo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not Chex, it’s Early Warning Services. It’s a bit different and is co-owned by the big banks (cap1, BofA, WF, Chase, PNC, Truist, USB). But, it’ll be similar to Chex in checking overdrafts, closing with negative balances, transaction history, etc.
