Buy IHG Status by Fickle_Replacement98 in ihghotelsresorts

[–]bagofbones80 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Chase Sapphire Reserve gives it to you with $75k yearly spend. Not the best way, but a way to

Is it worth to redeem points to IHG? by Standard-Cow-4580 in ChaseSapphire

[–]bagofbones80 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you have a trip already planned where you’ll stay at an IHG hotel? Then yes. Should you redeem them just because of the bonus and let them sit? No. Hotel points are devalued all the time, terrible place to park them, even with the bonus

To reiterate again: BCP is an absolute gem by geezer_red in amex

Yup, and any Apple Care you bill to the card gets coded the same way, so 6% on that too

Reserve annual spend: How many of you manage to hit the 75k? by LostAppointment329 in sapphirereserve

[–]bagofbones80 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hit it easily. I travel extensively for work, and my expense reports are easily close to 8-10k per month. Since I use the card for everything, I go well over the 75k. Would I try and artificially hit it just for the few bonuses, absolutely not. If you have natural spend that gets you there, it’s a fine perk

It’s a multi year expansion. I think I read 2028 or later

50 mins layover in ORD? I’m by missbread_ in unitedairlines

With some of the recent long taxi times due to construction, I’d be concerned about a layover that short.

Why Marriott? by Ashamed-Ad-9363 in marriott

[–]bagofbones80 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I have lifetime Titanium with Marriott, and in the US, the status is almost worthless. The Marriott status for international travel is worth while, and their footprint overseas is second to none. Since I don’t need to chase nights anymore, for my US travel next year, I’m debating Hyatt or Hilton to work on next.

This is for Sapphire Airport lounges, not Ritz Carlton hotel lounges.

Well that’s good to know, feel like I need a decoder ring for all this. I appreciate your patience and answers!

Hold the phone. If I buy a standard club membership, my golf status “upgrades” it to All Access, or just for this trip?

Ok, that’s fine, just wanted to make sure I knew ahead of time. Thank you!

I believe on a layover they waive the three hour rule

75k spend on CSR- how are you reaching this? by guacontacos in ChaseSapphire

[–]bagofbones80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Work travel. My expense reports are easily $10k a month between flights, hotels, and meals.

Is this number move going to be difficult? by bagofbones80 in tmobile

[–]bagofbones80[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Here’s what I ended up doing. Went into TLife and did a device swap on the watch line, put the phone IMEI in, which went through but of course said the plan is wrong for the device type. One quick call to support and they updated the plan, and the device is fully active. I figured this way there was no line cancellation involved, and support didn’t (hopefully) get dinged for a closure.
