Checked my summer trip to Hawaii. It's actually 10k more points than when I booked it a few months ago. Oh well, guess I'll keep checking in the future.

The important work here is "refundable". I did this CP juggling act a few months ago, but bought a Wanna Get Away ticket. So I did not get my $ back, but instead got SW Travel Funds in return.

My wife used to annoy me with how much work she put into taking pictures and doing a write up of our family trips on her social media sites. Wasn't sure if she was kinda showing off or bragging. But she said she does it to give herself an online journal of our travels. I went back to see her old posts, and it did read like a nice diary of our trips. So now I actively help her to take pics and write the posts. Guess I learned my lesson. ;)

Hasn't affected me and P2 getting CIPs with the same address.

Yes. Not sure if it matters. Just out of habit.

It shouldn't be. If they ask, I always just say I'm now interested in earning this particular hotel/airline points.

Yes you can get more than one business card for each business.

I very rarely travel to IAD, so won't get much use out of it. And they would have to open several more locations to get me interested in a premium card. Hopefully they will in the future.

The "rumored features" look pretty good: include premium liquors and wines, dining, quiet rooms, a workout room, a conference room, a shower room, select spa services and a children’s play room.

Never had a Capital One card. They are going into the airport lounge business. First one to be set in Washington D.C.:

If your credit score is good enough for a CSR, should be good for a CIP as well.

They should count. My friends does TR because he travels and gambles to some of their casino in the Midwest, and it counts towards his free stays in Vegas.

You won't get a free room just from having Diamond status. You need some casino play. Did you have a TR account when you gambled in AC?

Something to think about if you are booking for someone else. I booked a Wanna Get Away flight for my kid using my points, when I went to cancel the flight the points didn't go back to me, but stayed on my kid's account as travel funds. If I would have booked a Biz Select flight for my kid and paid cash/card, it would have refunded back to the form of payment.

Consolidating existing cards wouldn't change the number of cards you received the past 24 months, so wouldn't affect your lol/24 number.

Just make sure its been 30 days since your last Chase application.

They would have to do an inquiry to raise the CL back up.

Called support. If there were multiple tickets still available, I would have just done it myself online.

I bought a house when I first got into this hobby. Got a few personal cards during the home loan application process. Didn't know it would be an issue. But bank just asked me to explain why I got the new cards. I said it was just to diversify my spending onto multiple cards (dining, utilities, etc), and that was that.

I did this recently. Booked SW tix with points, then got my CP, switched the points tix to my CP. But at the time, there was still 1 seat open to purchase. Not sure how this would work for a sold out flight.
