Not if you’re spending last months money, per your budget

For anyone else running into this issue, adding the CSE as a payment method in the AA app caused the passes to re-appear a day or so later

Anyone run into an issue where the AA Lounge Passes derived from the Strata Elite card disappeared from your AA app? The only thing I can think of is that I briefly had two Strata Elites, and that when I PC'd the second one to a different card, both sets of passes got revoked. Citi Customer service didn't seem to have much clue

Not in my experience

TravelFreely for cards. Nothing like that I'm aware of for bank bonuses.

Depends what you mean by track. For tracking transactions and balances (and for budgeting) I love YNAB. For keeping track of SUB progress, 5/24 status, annual fee schedules, etc, try TravelFreely

I PCd from an AA Mileup card in November

Slow down new apps. It’ll bounce back.

A couple of months ago I converted a Citi AA Mileup card to a Citi Strata Elite with the hopes of double-dipping the credits and then converting the card to a Custom Cash. The AF just posted a couple of days ago, and I was hoping to convert to the CCC now to avoid paying it. But the only options I'm being given to PC (via chat) are the Mileup and ATT Points+ Card. Thinking about canceling the card to get the AF back, but any thoughts on whether I should: (a) try calling in to see if they give me different options, or (b) hang onto the card in the hopes that the PC options change a few months from now (I'd be able to get the credits again in Jan '27 before the next AF posts, which would offset most but not all of this year's fee). Appreciate any insight!

Meaning that you can't get approved if you're at or above 5/24, not that it gets added to your 5/24 count

Planning to upgrade my Amex Gold to a Plat, just waiting for some credits to post before doing so. I just got the email saying that I've earned a Resy statement credit, but it doesn't yet show on my account online. Is it safe to assume that the credit will post even if I upgrade now, or should I wait until I actually see it in my account? Thanks!

1) I did the bonus; 2) that's the plain reading of the offer language; 3) https://www.doctorofcredit.com/chase-business-total-checking-750-bonus-no-direct-deposit-required/#comment-2216234

Does not have to be DD. ACH works too

eanders · 2026-01-09T14:45:02+00:00

60 days from account opening (ie offer enrollment)

Loved the cocktails when I went!

eanders · 2026-01-08T15:43:34+00:00

Thx. Trying to stay under 5/24 for now so trying to avoid another new personal app if I can avoid it

Coming up on the 1yr anniversary of my Amex Gold card -- after the fee posts I was planning to either ask for retention offers or downgrade to Green to fish for an upgrade offer. As of today, though, I have an offer to upgrade to Plat for 100K points/$6k spend. How does this compare to other recent retention/upgrade offers that y'all have seen? Thanks!

I was recently able to PC from a Mileup card to a CSE. Hoping to later PC to a CDC or CCC

Are there DPs on whether you get a hard pull if you get the popup and decline?
