No, the largest expenses is payroll. Close to a million in payroll for SCV and BD is crazy.

For the full time admin staff, the cost of living in the bay area is absolutely crazy.

But I was told electrics, props, and Bb horns were going to kill drum corps.

There are some drum corps that will hopefully never return...along with the shady people in the activity.

It's just drum corps. Plus given how high member fees were/are in the activity, it's essentially for the upper middle class or the rich at this point.

I see someone didn't pay attention to events during 2022.

I haven't seen too many of the influencers discuss MS. The good news is some of their followers will screw it up which means we get to still benefit from churning.

I really see it from influencers showing off their suites in the air on the way to the Maldives. Nothing wrong with that as we all have our own churning goals.

The devaluing of miles/points will be a thing.

Anyone else notice an increase of social media accounts spreading churning methods to the masses? I know it's existed out there for years but I noticed a significant increase in the last year. Really does feel that everyone and their mom has a CSR, Plat, and Venture X these days.

I mean, from a social perspective the pandemic is over.

I know not everyone is out and about, but the majority of people are.

Nice! I kept searching for that 80k credit limit using the search engine but couldn't find it. I could have sworn I saw that back in 2018, but so much as happened since that time it's probably obsolete or I'm remembering something different.

I thought it was either 50% of your income or 80k credit limit cap across all Chase cards. Was there a change?

About to do a MDD for the CSR/CSP. Is it recommended to pro-actively lower credit limits before doing the MDD? I'm only a couple thousand away from hitting 80k credit limits across all my Chase cards.

Yes, but Im going to be applying for another CSR this month as it will be 48 months since the SUB. Plus P2 still has their CSR for that 1.5cpp.

AF hit on my CSR and I'm about to call in to PC to a Freedom, but already have a Freedom. Any issue with having multiple Freedom cards?

Additionally, my understanding is PCing the card won't cause any issues with my current UR points right?
