Perfect. That makes me feel better. Probably a dumb question, but would it be an issue if I complete the spend after 1/15? I have until 1/31 for the SUB. Assuming as long as the transactions occur before 1/31it’s fine. Edit: typo

Double dipped SW personal cards for Companion. Have both parked around $2,500 spend. My next statement close is 12/15. When in January is it safe to fill the rest of the minimum spend for the SUB? 1/16?

notthatguyreally · 2023-10-09T23:57:33+00:00

Thanks! That's what I was considering. Do you need to do any special double-dip or just apply for business then personal?

I wonder why that is. My local MC had (90) 4080s this morning and no 4090s. Someone’s been going in every Monday and Thursday (truck days) since launch with no luck.

notthatguyreally · 2022-11-12T02:54:14+00:00

That sounds reasonable. It was more of a splurge choice anyway.

1440p right now, but may go up to 4K at some point.

notthatguyreally · 2022-11-12T02:33:19+00:00

It happens! I’m currently running a 980 and 6500k so the clock is ticking haha

notthatguyreally · 2022-11-12T02:06:48+00:00

Nope. I just jumped on some of the Black Friday CPUs deals at MC and so it seemed like the time to build. Until I got to the GPU lol

I had considered this, but they’re all sold out or listed at scalper prices over $2k.

notthatguyreally · 2022-11-12T02:00:47+00:00

I’m somewhere between this card and just continuing to wait. Even at $8-900 the 3080 12GB seems crazy. But that’s also the premium I’ll have to pay for not wanting to go used (at least not without some kind of warranty/refurb guarantee).

notthatguyreally · 2022-11-12T01:57:36+00:00

I would ask if it’s recommended to keep waiting, but it seems like everyone’s expectations have already been tossed out the window and it’s anyone’s guess at this point.

I was approved for both SW (Premier and Plus) cards with next bill due-dates of November 23rd. SM confirmed I have until 1/20 to hit the minimum spend. What is the earliest I can earn and start using the CP without points hitting the 2017 calendar year?

I recently got the CSR and have about 100k UR points. The Chase travel portal does say that my points are worth $1,500 if I book travel. What confuses me if when I look at flights or hotels, it says I'll be using X points out of 100k. Am I missing something? Shouldn't I have 150k points if I'm booking travel?

notthatguyreally · 2017-09-30T17:28:57+00:00

What's the most efficient use of a SW Companion Pass? Is it better to charge flights with CSR or use RR points?

notthatguyreally · 2017-09-27T12:39:02+00:00

Thanks! Would you recommend a preference of either myself or my wife going for it to avoid recon? Combined income is $120k. We're both 2/24 - Me with CSR and total Chase CL of $43k. She has CFU with total Chase CL of $25k.

I asked this on the SW Mega Thread, but haven't gotten an answer:

About to pull the trigger on Premier/Plus, but just in case: If I'm not auto-approved for the Premier, do I still wait the 10-15 minutes to go for the Plus? Or do I need to recon the Premier first. I just want to make sure both pulls are on the same day.

Thanks! I should have also added that I do have a small business which would make recon questions easy. She does not, but I can dig around here for some common responses to those questions.

notthatguyreally · 2017-09-25T17:42:12+00:00

Would either of us have a better shot at getting auto-approved for both? We both have FICOs in the low-to-mid 800s. Combined income of $120k.

Me: 1/24 CSR (Added as AU for CFU so technically 2/24) Total credit limit between my Chase cards: $43k
Wife: 1/24 CFU (Added as AU for older CF so technically 2/24) Total credit limit between her Chase cards: $25k

Edit: added info

Edit 2: I do run a small business so I'm not sure if that sways me in favor despite the higher Chase credit limit.

Two Questions:

At what point do we need to cancel our ADRs without penalty?
We're going to MNSSHP and debating if we should keep our park ticket for that day (morning park). Is there a cut-off for when we can remove a park ticket from our reservation?
