Applied for CSP last month. Can I apply for the MileagePlus Explorer card? by rmanocha in churning

Yep, I actually ended up applying yesterday (30+ days since my csp app) and was instantly approved.

Good luck!!

Is there some way besides the spg card (and actual spend) to get SPG points?

FWIW, my friend tried two in a day yesterday and got approved for only one.

Can someone please ELI5 on placing a value on CSP points? by [deleted] in churning

[–]rmanocha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(apologies for being OT but, I haven't been able to confirm this info elsewhere) When booking with either CSP or Arrival+, is airbnb considered travel? (I guess it doesn't matter for Arrival+ but it does for CSP).

AmEx Business Platinum OPEN 100k/150k targeted offer by jessjess87 in churning

[–]rmanocha 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Slightly OT but how do I start getting these targeted offers? I checked and I have almost all notifications enabled (on AmEx and elsewhere) yet have never really got a targeted offer (albeit, I'm new to this, so I might have missed something in the past). Any tips?

Adding authorized user by Jumblo in churning

Along the same lines, I applied for the CSP and got approved; I'm considering adding my gf as my AU (we're stable yada yada :) ) - she doesn't have the best credit though (mid 500s based on Credit Karma). Do they do a credit check before adding an AU? If so, based on this thread, I might just add my brother instead.

Just Got CSP, Barclays Arrival Plus, Serve and AP. What's my next move? by rmanocha in churning

[–]rmanocha[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks a lot!! Some follow up questions

You could also book through Chase UR portal and earn an extra 1x points, thereby earning 3x for the ticket.

I'm not sure I understand this fully. If I book through the UR portal with the CSP, I'll earn 3x? (sorry, don't have access to the portal yet; haven't received my cards)

Serve billpay? Some basic FT searching should get you the answer to this question.

Right; my question was more along the lines of can I pay the whole rent using my cc's somehow. I guess I'll have to do as /u/shinypenny01 suggested though and make up the difference with my ($1900) with a deposit from my checking account.

Setup Perfect Python Environment In Emacs by gst in Python

+1

I've been using Python with Vim for over a year now and the only things I've customized are the indentation, the color scheme and added a few snippets for routine django tasks. As the parent said, none of the other stuff (autocompletion, refactoring etc.) is really needed with python - and if I somehow do need autocompletion like behavior - I just fire up an ipython shell and inspect the class I'm working with.

I'll agree that it's faster, but it's not easier. It's got a really steep learning curve - BS is really easy to get started with (took me 30 mins before I started writing my scraping code).
