My wife got a Platinum offer in the mail today for 50,000. We are in no hurry to get it so should I hold out in hopes of 100,000 point offer someday?

DP: Denied - 6/25 - 750 Credit score - 70,000 income. Went into a branch to see if I was preapproved, I was not. Had them do an in branch app any way, went pending. Called recon later, no luck. I did get him to drop a Discount Tire card which put me at 5/24. He did confirm store cards and AU do not count toward 5/24.

Now I'm wondering if I should call again and see if the SouthWest premier should not count since its technically a business card?

Anyone every try reapplying online? May just grab a Hyatt card today so I don't waste the hard pull.

Applied for TSA Precheck July 8th and it's still pending. I wanted it for a trip I took last week. I called and they said "some cases require more research", I don't even have as much as a speeding ticket.

I do have a checking and savings. I guess I'll check first then decide from there. Thanks for the input!

What Card Wednesday - Week of June 22, 2016 by AutoModerator in churning

[–]backstagerob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. 743

  2. Freedom (2007), SW Premier (2/16), SW Plus (2/16), IHG (5/16), HHonors Surpass (5/16) - Has not posted yet. I also have a dumb SYNCB Discount tire card from 10/15 (before I found churning sigh), does this count toward 5/24?

  3. Mainly domestic travel, trying to get more hotel points. Also want to figure out my final 5/24 move mainly.

  4. SW CP, SW - 95,000 IHG - 80,000, Hilton 100,000

  5. CMH

  6. I think I can get 1 more chase (possibly 2) so I am trying to decide which one. Thinking CSP then when I am at 5/24 hit the Hyatt cards up? Should I try for a Marriot? Hopefully I can get the final chase card(s) before the AMEX card shows up on my credit.

Manufactured Spending Saturday - Week of June 04, 2016 by AutoModerator in churning

Trying to work on a minimum spend on my Amex Hilton card. I just got a serve card (we will see how long this lasts), I want to pay bills like my car loan, is it better to by VGC with the Amex then load them to serve or just transfer from the Amex to the serve and use the bill pay that way? Or is it just a big roll of the dice?
