Go for it. Since you have to wait 48 months for another, might as well get them both now.Anyone doing a MDD? Got approved for the CSP last night and thinking about applying for the CSR now. Any thoughts? Thanks

The transit system in Chicago is excellent. I took either the subway or bus almost everywhere (exceptions were for my early morning PCR test to come back to Canada, Navy Pier to see the Halloween lights {walked back} and to the Museum of Science and Industry which is not well connected to transit). You can get a transit pass (Ventra) at the airport for however many days that you require and hop on the blue line to your hotel.
I was rather limited in my hotel options because I wanted to use either my Hyatt FNC or one of my Marriott 35K FNCs for the first night. The Westin River North was a top choice but it was 40K points / night. I also looked at the (Hyatt) Chicago Athletic Association (CAA), but since I was transferring the the WA the next day it made more sense to choose the Thompson since it was just a few blocks south. The CAA is a highly regarded hotel; I saw it from the exterior and kind of regretted not choosing it. You should definitely consider it. If / when I go back it will be at the top of my list along with the Westin River North.
Gosh, I hope his isn’t. Every email still does not list a location. His school gym is huge and the school is small. Like 250 kids in the high school. I have been looking at Converse or white Adidas. Bow ties seem to be all the rage.All the homecomings here in MI have been outside on the football field. Everyone has been doing tennis shoes (boys and girls). We've also had a ton of rain. So it's been muddy messes! Lots of brand new white shoes ruined, LOL.
Awesome! Thanks for that tip. And I was actually planning on flying back on a Wednesday, since that day tends to be easier to book. I guess BA is back up to option 1 since I can transfer UR and MR.BA's release pattern is interesting. They seem to release 2 when the calendar opens, then more a few days later. For SFO it was either 3 or 5 depending on the day of the week. We're flying back on a Tuesday since Sunday and Monday only had 3. If you only see 4 in economy, that seems to mean they'll release more (at which time economy is wide open and no number is displayed).
So funny! And here we are trying to get away from them.Mine wore Sperrys to Homecoming!
Just PCd my CSR to a Freedom Flex. The customer rep said the PC is effective immediately. I have heard that I need to wait 4 days to make sure the 2-sapphire-rule doesn't kick in to apply for the CSP. Is this correct? Should I grab a support link now and hold it for 4 days or get the support link on the 4th day?Well, the support links have lived on past the public offer before, so all you can do is grab the link and cross your fingers. There's no guarantee of course.
Yes, everything I've seen about it is to wait 4 days after PC'ing. I just want to make sure that you are not self-supporting! Does P2 have a CSP support link for you to use? If so, get it now, don't wait. There will be support links on DISchurners if you don't have a P2.Just PCd my CSR to a Freedom Flex. The customer rep said the PC is effective immediately.

Thanks for any and all advice!!
I will be using a DISchurners link. I will go get one now. Thank you!!Yes, everything I've seen about it is to wait 4 days after PC'ing. I just want to make sure that you are not self-supporting!

Thank you for the help. I finally found it under Ways To Earn.Google Chase Refer a Friend for the generic generation link. If that doesn't work, log into your account, click on your CSP card and select "More" over on the right side, click on "card benefits", and scroll allllll the way to the bottom and there should be a "refer a friend" link.

P2 applied for and was successfully approved for a CSP today. Now to wait forever to receive the card.
I wouldn't use the Chase travel portal for a rental car. That comes through Expedia and if you want to cancel or make changes it can get dicey. Most of the time you can't skip the counter on a third party rental either. For rental cars my advice has been and always will be www.autoslash.com Use them to find a rate to book, then have them track it. They have saved me in excess of $2,000 in the three years I've been using them, prices come down they let you know so you can rebook. They search Costco rates as well.FYI - I'm pricing car rentals for our trips next year. I'm finding that the Chase travel portal has similar pricing as Costco Budget rentals.

Pre-PYB I booked plenty of car rentals through Chase. I pretty much stick with National (CSR = Exec Elite status + spouse is free add'l driver) and sometimes Enterprise. I've never had an issue. I booked and canceled plenty of reservations and always got points back right away, never had to stop at the counter and I still get rental credits (I believe with National 5 rentals = 1 free day). I book via cash now and then PYB, but should that end I would go back to booking cars via Chase.I wouldn't use the Chase travel portal for a rental car.
