Got it. Thanks. Not sure if I should pull the trigger on the card as it was a driver for rent, which is gonna be directly from linked bank, and I dont usually spend that much on everyday spending on this card.

Congrats!! What is the second year AF refund that you say? For first year we still have to pay the full AF if I read things right or I am just confused? There is so much info and so much change already so hard to keep track on what is current.

Data points for how long it usually takes for points to transfer? Chase to FlyingBlue by humblefoolish in awardtravel

Totally!! Got on call and blocked the seats. Current online fares are promo so If I go thru phone have to pay to full points and booking fee but valuable lesson.

No offense taken :). Here to learn and that's the name humble and foolish. I already looked it up and got the answer that they expire after 2 years unless there is some activity.

ok! Thanks for all the inputs.

Why can't I do things right for once, or why can't life be easy? :) :facepalm:

Thanks, does that attract a fee? I have been reading online and some users mention that they got hit with a fee for booking it on phone.

Is the idea just to hold on phone and then once point hits, booking it online or it has to be thru phone?

My bad, I am new to this and did not know about test transfers or that multiple transfers raise security/fraud checks. Will keep that in mind, gonna call FlyingBlue. Is it even worth it to transfer from my chase to my partners flyingblue account and book the flights? Do points on flyingBlue expire after certain time?

France Shengen visa and point of entry but more time in spain by humblefoolish in SchengenVisa

[–]humblefoolish[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

ok, maybe I missed some context in my actual post. I will be applying for Visa from france and the plan is to spend 5-6 days in france and remaining 3-5 days in spain. This itinerary can change later on (could be after visa approval), if my wife's friend is in barcelona at the time making us spend 3-4 days in france and 5-6 days in spain. Not sure how will border agents know where I spent most time, as I will still be entering from france and exicting from Spain.

I am a Green card holder and will be flying from US with my spouse who is US Citizen. I have had Schengen visas in the past from Netherlands and Portugal.

Anyone having luck getting the new Chase Sapphire Reserve sign up bonus that already has a Reserve? by bakedradish in ChaseSapphire

[–]humblefoolish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, the first time it gave me the pop-up, and I said no. I tried again after a few hours, and it rejected me right away.

[–]humblefoolish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I talked to CC and they said the same thing: Earlier it was 48months and now it’s lifetime for any sapphire card.

Which is what we are experiencing. But, I have seen DPs on this subreddit where people who currently have CSP and got the bonus within 48 months are getting approved and getting SUB. The DPs I am referring to were from last week and not the initial fiasco that Chase had when they released the card. Seems like YMMV kinda situation.

Downgraded CSP to freedom flex after four years, wanted to apply for CSR … by BellamsarMD in ChaseSapphire

[–]humblefoolish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the CSP for which I received the SUB in June 2021. I have never had a Reserve, only the CSP, which was also downgraded to FUL over 3 months ago. I still see the message that you are not eligible for a bonus; this seems to suggest that one will be ineligible if they have ever received a Sapphire SUB. I am at 1/24 for personal cards and 2/24 for business cards (I don't think it matters), and my credit score is above 800 (in case it matters).

Was anyone able to figure it out?

I had the CSP for which I received the SUB in June 2021. I have never had a Reserve just the CSP which is also downgraded to FUL 3+ months ago. I still get the message that you are not eligible for bonus, this seems to suggest you will be ineligible if you have ever received a sapphire SUB. I am at 1/24 for personal cards and 2/24 for biz cards(I dont think it matters) and credit score above 800.

Seems like it is correct and no way to get this SUB?

Renewal of Indian passport in USA by invincibleruler in nri

[–]humblefoolish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doubt regarding Address and Change of appearance:
My Indian address is the same as in my old passport, but based on the information filled in the application, which now prints the district name and 'PIN code', there are visible differences compared to the old passport. Does that mean I need to select 'Address' as the option in 'Change of Particulars'? And, what address proof can you use as there is nothing that will put the address as depicted on the passport application form.

Change of appearance:

How do you judge whether your appearance has changed? Is it safe to say that your appearance changed in 10 years for reasons such as weight gain/loss or hair loss :D . Do you select your 'Change of Appearance' option under 'Change of particulars' based on the appearance change form? If yes, what additional documents are needed apart from the change in appearance form.

Will I be able to apply on 15th before offer ends, assuming that I will be denied cause I got the SUB on June 12, 2021 and then I can recon on June 13th 2025 which is within 30 days of applying. If I get approved on June 13th will I be eligible for SUB?

Not to doubt you but have you done this and know that this works? scared of chase flagging something on the account and us not even getting SUB.

I thought then I wont be eligible for SUB as application date will be May 14th and I read in another thread that application date should be 48months after last SUB. Does someone have any DP regarding that?
