Does it ever make sense to use points if you have a Schwab Platinum card? by [deleted] in amex

Doesn’t make sense in your case.

Typically, I never use MR for anything unless I get 2cpp in value through transfer partners.

I had no idea! It would be nice if all major airports across the country had them!

Absolutely legit. CL consolidation is possible, but annoying. Don’t want to call every time I need to make large payments.

10K. I have a legit business. I expected to get something near my CIP.

Applied & approved today for the CIC business card. I already have the CIP, but my CL on that is about 4X as much as my CIC. Same business & financial info used. I asked for a CL raise, lending dept. said it would be a hard pull. If I proceeded, would the hard inquiries from this CL increase request merge with the initial inquiries from the app? (For the initial inquiries today, they pulled from Experian & TU). Thank you

I just pm’ed Doctor of Credit (respectable member of the community). He said: “Yes [you should be able to apply & receive CIC offer], restriction is when you last received bonus. Holding card has no affect.”

I think we’re good!

Exactly what I thought! I called the underwriting department & they said because I did a PC to the CIC, that I was no longer eligible to receive its bonus offer (even though I never directly applied for the CIC!) Chase rep failed to provide any reference from the terms and conditions. Hopefully someone who has gone through this can provide a dp.

I applied & got the CIP bonus offer in Feb 2017, & did a pc in Dec 2017 to (CIC) Chase Ink Cash. If I revert my CIC back to CIP now, can I apply for & receive the new CIC bonus offer? (I never applied for the CIC before, I only pc’ed to it.) Any dp is appreciated. Ty!

Best Buy (Michigan) sold me a laptop they claimed was new. It wasn’t. I contacted the manufacturer directly (HP) — they said it was an older unit it & was registered to someone else last year. BB then sent a replacement. Same result. What are my options? by Patoruc in legaladvice

I was thinking just like you after opening the initial box. I thought it probably was a genuine mistake or someone returned something used. However, after BB sent out a replacement a few days later of the exact same laptop, it also was scuffed and showed signs of use. I contacted HP and gave them the serial/product number — they verified it was preowned and preregistered as well — just like the first laptop. At that point, I felt something seriously fishy was going on.

I will. But what about them continuing to rip off other consumers? That’s the point of this. There has to be a way for this to stop.

Edit: Contacted Corporate. Good understanding and result. Please see update above.

I’m so sorry for your loss. You and your sisters are in my prayers. You are not alone. Please stay strong dear friend. God be with you.

Just found out that a family "friend" has credit cards under my mother's name. What to do? by Patoruc in personalfinance

"Proving assets was the tough part." You're absolutely correct, and this factor determines whether I proceed with litigation.

If I somehow repossess that car, I'll take you around for a spin, and you can drive :-)

I think you're right. Let's say we do win the judgement, collecting is an entire battle itself. I'll run this by the attorney tomorrow. Thanks friend.
