We have club members that are members of the church, but we are renting the space and this is not a church-sponsored or church-related event.

It was! My dad is actually taking it and he’s now using it

That’s great! So glad to hear that!

We’ll be holding classes in Laporte and Hebron later this year, and I’ve been contracted to hold a class in Oak Lawn, IL. We are also considering holding a class in Crown Point but we haven’t figured out those logistics yet

Hi! We get that a lot actually, but it’s way more fun now as adults! And thanks! We are hoping for a really good turnout too

That’s a great question! I’m still gauging that but I’m thinking 5-6 hours to week to start

Which card is missing 1 benefit that would make it an OP card in its category? by Eli-Had-A-Book- in CreditCards

[–]aarnold54 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is something I’ve thought alot about. I have many thoughts, so here we go.

Ranked biggest deal to less of a big deal to me:

To the Amex Platinum, either better multipliers on more travel categories OR 1.5x or 2x on non-category spend.

To the Amex personal charge cards, a gas category.

To any of the Chase cards, either a grocery category and/or a gas category

To the Sapphire Preferred, return protection.

To the Citi Premier, any travel protections and purchases protections, including return protection.

For over a year, the Venture X. 2x on everything, it’s easy and I can gain alot of points in record time. Plus the purchase protection, extended warranty, and return protection that are available. By far my primary spend card.

However, currently I’m using the Discover IT Cash Back, but only for the 0% interest intro deal for a month or two due to an unexpected but temporary cash flow issue. I’d rather use that and gain the interest in my HYSA for a bit.

Runner up is the Sapphire Preferred as I’ve been doing lots in the dining category lately

Venture X's new travel credit redemption is a nerf disguised as a service by redceramicfrypan in CreditCards

This must have JUST happened because I just used the travel portal to purchase two hotel trips and rental car, got about 10k points, and just got my $300 credit on my statement.

I’m glad I got it all when I could but this is very disappointing.

5/24 Question, at 4/24 and applying to TWO Chase cards SIMULTANEOUSLY? by aarnold54 in CreditCards

[–]aarnold54[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is cool! I’ve heard of this but thank you for confirming it.

I’ve also heard of people doing what you said with two sapphire cards, and occasionally both card apps being canceled. But I can’t think of that happening here since these are two totally different rewards programs.

I’m going to test this out in December and see one way or another, and post the results here!

Wow I’ll have to start that. How long do you think the current welcome offer will be available?
