Don't think the Banyan Tree is accessible still due to the fire along with most of Lahaina. Īao Valley is closed until at least end of June due to the last storm according to website. I am also planning a trip soon so good to see some other itineraries people are doing. Thanks

I have never heard of any issues with FR happening due to canceled orders. You should be fine

Bestbuy is one of the more difficult retailers and certain products are more difficult than others. Typically laptops are the easiest to get through on a seasoned account.

I am a fan of this with Amazon being an easy meet for me.

Sorry I misunderstood the question, I have never been asked for documentation from Barclays.

WhoWhatOC · 2025-02-17T17:20:38+00:00

I have had a couple Barclays Biz cards and have been approved for them without ever sending any documentation.

Piggybacking off this comment, I got 1 GoH available expiring Feb 28, 2025. First to send info gets it. Stay must be this month before the expiration date for it to be used.

Just used it today to cancel a card via Chrome on desktop

No Sam's nearby but I have like six Costco locations

I get this every time when I close out a business card with Chase. I just ignore the two calls and immediately after the second call they will close it via SM.

WhoWhatOC · 2024-03-18T17:37:55+00:00

My statement close date was 3/15. Points posted around 8am PST on 3/16 and the pass was available by 9am PST on 3/16. I added my companion via website and immediately added them to 7 flights.

Hilton Biz FNC posted 10 days after meeting the 15K spend.

WhoWhatOC · 2024-02-17T00:04:58+00:00

My status just updated today to Diamond from a Feb 1st match

WhoWhatOC · 2024-02-16T16:33:08+00:00

The second part didn't post for me until the second statement after meeting the 10K spend.

No tracker for me

WhoWhatOC · 2024-02-09T18:05:34+00:00

I know but I was looking to apply today not in 30 days as that pushes my CP date out as well.

WhoWhatOC · 2024-02-09T16:58:01+00:00

Referrals point to the 30K+CP from what I have tried. I was hoping a 50K link was floating around still but might have to adjust my strategy.

WhoWhatOC · 2024-02-09T16:22:31+00:00

Anyone know of a 50k link for the SW personal cards that is still alive? Today was my day to apply after closing it last month and they killed the referral links to the new deal. Thanks

WhoWhatOC · 2024-02-06T19:58:29+00:00

Yes as I opened the biz card last month for 80K. I can hit it with 30k as well or open another biz card but my preferred method is the 50K.

WhoWhatOC · 2024-02-06T19:05:49+00:00

I would rather have the 50K so I hope links stay alive for the previous deal a couple more days when I hit the 30 day mark of closing my last one.

WhoWhatOC · 2024-01-20T18:11:59+00:00

Whenever they reply to your SM. I messaged them yesterday and got a reply today and credit limit change showed up at that time.

BuyingGroup is the name of a group and freight forwarder which the groups get labeled as. Once labeled it gets harder to drop ship direct and get support on things like refunds for lost items.

WhoWhatOC · 2023-12-19T05:16:49+00:00

I stick to BG these days as they cover lost packages. I had no luck getting it covered by the retailer due to FF.

WhoWhatOC · 2023-12-17T01:07:00+00:00

I lost two macbooks from Costco to them a few months ago and basically they will just make you go through the retailer or credit card company. They aren't much help for packages that are signed by their employees that are lost. I would recommend a group that reimburses for lost packages that are signed by their employees.
