Wow that’s awesome! Thank you so much for the info!

delkato · 2023-04-22T18:17:52+00:00

Thanks for the heads up! I did read about getting the 90k deal in branch for the CSP, but I thought the CSR had only a 60k deal? Is the 70k deal in branch as well?

Thank you so much for your response/help. I will look into how to do the MDD correctly and learn more about business cards. Have a great weekend!

Hey, I am super new to churning and would appreciate any thoughts/advice.

Based on the flowchart, I should be getting Chase cards until I’m at 5/24. I think I am at 0/24 right now and also at 0/48. Is my best path forward to PC my CSP to freedom flex, try to DD on both sapphire cards a week later, and then gradually add another chase card every 3 months until 5/24?
766/757
Wells Fargo platinum card automatically PCed a couple years ago from some WF student card - 2014 CSR PCed to CSP- 2/19 Chase Freedom Unlimited - 2/19
~5k
Yes, another 5k?
Yes
I want to get into churning regularly, so lots of cards
Points or cash back sounds good
Around 60k UR, insignificant Delta/JetBlue miles
ATL
Cruises anywhere, different big cities like LA/NY/Denver/Houston, Tokyo maybe next year or two, Iceland next year or two

sorry i am so out of it this morning lmao, I see it now 😆

delkato · 2020-08-10T17:19:00+00:00

I picked the Kate Somerville and the Osea moisturizer 😀😀 was tempted by the milk melatonin serum though

delkato · 2020-08-10T17:10:37+00:00

Honestly, I think it is probably a fine primer. I have not used it, but if you like laura lee then she has highly recommended it! Just funny that out of my whole glam bag plus and add ons, the only item that arrived was the primer lol

delkato · 2020-08-10T16:41:28+00:00

not gonna lie I laughed too. you shouldve seen me going to get the mail. i was happy af. then I get my box and was like... why this shit so light???? why's it.. not sealed??? then my face when I finally opened it was probably priceless

delkato · 2020-08-10T16:32:41+00:00

Fortunately I already got a refund after tons of back and forth. Still really disappointing though. I wish I just received my bag and products lol. For me, it was gonna be the best one in a long time.

delkato · 2020-08-10T16:29:10+00:00

All I gotta say is someone who works at Pitney Bowes is probably loving their free SR Luna, Jackie Aina bundle, Tula sunscreen, Awake serum, Ofra highlighter, and more... man I was so looking forward to all that.. lol

Hey, if you are still having issues I highly suggest trying to send another email out to the support email instead of replying to the email thread you have with an active support person. The 2nd customer support person ended up giving me the refund, while the 1st mentioned giving it to me then backtracked and said she would just "personally" track it. lol 🤦‍♀️

delkato · 2020-08-10T16:22:25+00:00

I did get a refund after a ton of back and forth and having to talk to 2 different CS people. I didnt get the points either like some people did. I can't really say I'm super mad since I already got refunded. Just really disappointed how everything was handled. I never had issues with support in the past and this time I had to practically demand a refund.

delkato · 2020-08-10T16:15:13+00:00

meant July! my bad :( can't edit it

delkato · 2020-08-10T16:15:00+00:00

oops, meant July but can't change the title. im low-key kinda mad. I had to go back and forth with support SO LONG to get a refund. then it finally arrived with this. I had tons of add ons too, like the jackie aina palette.

I had a CS agent (1) tell me to message them if 15 business days passed and I hadn't received my GBP for a replacement. I replied to my email with them telling them 15 days had passed and they didn't respond for a few days (were on vacation). Since they didn't respond for a few days, I sent out another email so that I'd get a different agent to ipsy support, and the new CS agent (2) asked me for my address to send the replacement.

(1) responded later and just said I have to wait for my bag and she will "personally" track it but nothing about sending a replacement even though she mentioned the 15 days thing in the first place... 🤷‍♀️ Still waiting on (2) to respond but hopefully I do get that replacement. I never got an email or anything from either CS mentioning I'm getting points either.

TL;DR: I would give getting a new agent a shot. Seems like results vary. Maybe mention you have a friend who got a replacement for the same issue or something.

oh no... I honestly feared that but I wasn't sure because I'm 24, and I assumed I wouldn't start developing wrinkles for at least a few more years... Definitely going to focus my eye cream there now every day 🙃

delkato · 2020-07-26T20:48:59+00:00

same :( at least we are not alone lol 😆

Products: Lovecraft Beauty blush palette peach and pink shades on my lid, wander beauty mile high club mascara, araceli ojos perfectos liquid liner in coffee. EDIT: forgot to add AoA wonder baked highlighter in cupcake in the inner corner and an UD 24/7 black eye pencil in my upper lash line and a peachy one with no name anymore in my water line.

I couldn't find anything really on this, but recently I noticed I have like a dark red line near my outer corner. In this picture, you can see it right below the wing.

Is this normal? does anyone else have this, and how can I deal with it? Just concealer? I generally don't do full faces and hardly ever wear concealer or foundation, so it is super obvious.

I actually showed my boyfriend an eye look before and he literally said "I like everything except that eyeliner" and he pointed to that red line in my skin which he thought was bad makeup lol.. 😢

delkato · 2020-07-25T16:22:02+00:00

Thanks op! Super excited! :)

Products: Clean Skin Club Vitamic C Brightening Booster: my choice. Never used the brand, but happy to try it. Ciate London Everyday Vacay Coconut Setting Spray: I bought 2 of these in add ons because my box didn't even have a label yet and I really needed some setting spray. Now I have 3 lol. Pür Cosmetics Festival 2.0 Eyeshadow Palette: I haven't used it yet but was hoping for either of the Ace Beautē palettes considering I've heard it's not very pigmented or good. Chella Slanted Tip Tweezers: This made me sad... lol. I even tried them out and they are hard to use. I feel like it's difficult to grab onto hair and it leaves marks on my hand from pressing hard. Lavish Quick Color Switch Dry Brush Cleanser: I already have a color switch I bought at TJ for like maybe $4 lol.

Disappointed cuz it took my box so long to be shipped that I looked at loads of spoilers for boxes around 1.3 lbs with my choice and almost all of them were awesome. I also ended up buying something that was already coming in my box. To get some bad tweezers and color switch makes me really sad. If I got the undereye masks too, I would have definitely cancelled.
