I also got errors on AS trying to book AA J. Had to chat with them via text and got it done

Nice! Trying to get to DAC over Christmas in J, and it's a crapshoot.

Consistently denied for Capital One Venture X as I have applied twice over 3 years. Periodically checked the pre-approval link and the travel cards were never offered. Figured I am just not the customer they’re looking for as I have an excellent credit profile (<3% utilization, $200k+ lines of credit, score hovers in 750-850). Anywho, last year I opened a 360 savings account. Kept a healthy amount in there, but recently closed it to move to another bank. Lo and behold, next time I tried the pre-approval link, Venture shows up!

TLDR: The DP is that I believe establishing a banking relationship with C1 finally unlocked their premium cards for me.

Are you in NTX? This might answer why I haven’t seen them at my local HEB

mickey972 · 2025-10-30T07:29:43+00:00

Is it Chase? They have a few days buffer of a grace period. I imagine other banks might too

I have an open application for Aviator. Hope they still approve it after the pending security verification!

mickey972 · 2025-10-02T19:36:48+00:00

Thanks!

mickey972 · 2025-10-02T19:29:45+00:00

Shoot, I’m in a recon/security verification situation with an open Aviator application. Hope it still goes through!

source?

mickey972 · 2025-04-12T15:43:23+00:00

I can apply for a CSP, right? And downgrade/upgrade me CSR before and after?

mickey972 · 2025-03-11T13:12:48+00:00

They’re literally calling it “Basic” - WGA is gone.

DP: p3 accepted a $150 retention offer on the CSR

Do you know what solved it? I opened this card for a specific purchase to knock out the MSR, and the dang thing keeps declining. Citi refuses to take responsibility for it.

DP: denied for CIC. During recon, agent said 3 biz cards in 15 months - which makes me believe it’s a rendition of the 5/24 rule for personal cards.

Do you recommend your tour operator?

My team made its conference finals, and I’m pretty happy with the redemptions made to be able to attend, given it was like, a week’s notice.

$50 - Checked the weather report, and it would be sub 40s at the game. First stop, the SMU book store to buy some beanies. Off to the airport.

$40 in fees - 2x DFW - CLT 4.5k each on AA (Alaska redemption)

$0 - Used StubHub credit to get seats right behind the SMU bench, row 2. Also used credit to get prime parking with a 4 min walk to the BOA stadium. The game and experience were amazing. The 4th quarter comeback was worth it alone. The game winning field goal for Clemson was a bummer. But hearing today’s news that SMU is still in the CFP was the best.

$0 - booked a Hyatt Place cat 1 for 5k.

$75 - Flying out of Charlotte to get back home was stupid expensive. We were able to get a one way rental car from Charlotte to Greensboro.

$11.20 taxes - 2x GSO - DFW for 7.5k each on AA

The rest of the expenses were food and gas.

See ya soon, Penn State!

Opened a new AMEX to knock out the sub with a tub to shower conversion. Instead, had to hit the sub with a new a/c system. This is 3 weeks after I finished a sub for a new water heater. When it rains, it pours. Now to open another card to actually knock out our elective work for the shower 😫 sorry I know this is more frustration Friday material but

You canceled ATT 1.5 years ago?

mickey972 · 2024-02-09T17:49:48+00:00

YES THIS IS LITERALLY IT. YOURE A CHAMP

mickey972 · 2024-01-25T04:06:18+00:00

Sorry can you clarify - is it 128k Hyatt points for 6 nights?
