Are you over 6/24 or they just flat out already denied you?Ugh, I want one! lol

We only have SPG Amex’s as of right now.
Is there any reason DH couldn’t get the Hilton Biz AFTER a personal Hilton Amex Acsend? We got a targeted 150k point email yesterday. I’m sure we could eventually find a nice oceanfront Hilton to stay at
I'm just in a holding pattern... It's been 11 days since I closed my 4 year old no fee Arrival so I could get the PlusAre you over 6/24 or they just flat out already denied you?
I think this may be my plan for next year. Trying to plan DLR and USH.I will buy ours from UCT which codes as travel and then you ‘erase’ the charge using the arrival points. I did it last year with DLR tix from lmt club.
Didn't want anyone to miss this, that's going for SW CP. Hopefully that will work for extra free points.

Of course, my Priority bonus should post today But I think my biz statement doesn't close until 2/3 so hopefully I get bonus points for those.
Has anyone here been targeted for this? I don't see anything when I log in to my account.
I *ahem* DH had it under the promotions on his RR account page. I haven't looked at mine. He only got his SW CCs in Nov and Dec. Actually I went and looked, and I have it to. You have to click to register also. Both of us got the 10k point offer. I only care because of his sign up bonuses.
Thank you for this! I read that post on DoC before but not thoroughly I guess, because I thought it would be an email from Southwest. I checked my SW account and saw the 10k offer on my account under Promotions (I never get promotions, so this was a surprise). Like you, I've already met the spend on one of my SW cards, but my SW Priority doesn't close until 2/3, so fingers crossed that we get the bonus on top of the signup bonus (even though the fine print excludes it).
Yay, dh was registered for this and he should get 110k posting here soon
DH had this under promotions in his SW account (the 10K one), and I registered him this morning. I didn't have it, but DH is the one it will be useful for since he has 110k plus points coming from the CP apps. I'm not sure when his statements are going to close and when the points will post, but I'm hopeful he'll get something from the promo.
Oh right. I forgot about that!I'm just in a holding pattern... It's been 11 days since I closed my 4 year old no fee Arrival so I could get the Plus
And I'm technically only 3/24
Well of course we already reserved it lol. The main reason for yc would be for the CL because we plan to use the workout area almost every day and the lounge. I was pretty set on pofq earlier today and now can’t decide. We have the reservation until 1/23 for free cancellation$900 and POFQ would probably force my hand. You could take Minnie Vans back and forth each day to parks or wherever you want to go and still probably be around $700 ahead!
I am a hoarder, can you book POFQ just to have it and make the final decision later? A non CL YC may even turn up!
Nice!! My cashier at s+s yesterday (older lady) asked to see the card I was using for debit. I handed her a regular debit card but swiped my gc. I felt awful about it but I know she is visually impaired and there was no way she could see the numbers and with the high counters it wasn’t that obvious. Hopefully it was a fluke cause I went to another one and got an carefree millennial who didn’t ask a thing.Yes, He was already 2/24 with a store card (ugh) and DiscoverIt. Those were his first cards ever! He now has a "business" so referred him to CIP, and he has SPG biz and CIC.
I ran out of 5/24 slots so had to convert him. He even does MO's at Stop and Shop BY HIMSELF lol.
Nice! We have similar paths. I have all the MRs my DH just got arrival + though he’s now 5/24 soon to be 4 in March.Thanks for all the advice for my hubby. I decided to get him an Arrival+ and he was approved!
Very similar! I do plan to get my dh some MRs of his own someday but for now, I’m wanting to put my spend where I really need it so the arrival + makes more sense.Nice! We have similar paths. I have all the MRs my DH just got arrival + though he’s now 5/24 soon to be 4 in March.
Yes it’s a great card. Put some spend on my JB biz to keep Barclay happy and once I try for CIU I’m going for my own arrival.Very similar! I do plan to get my dh some MRs of his own someday but for now, I’m wanting to put my spend where I really need it so the arrival + makes more sense.
I know that Chase shutdown stories have largely gone by the wayside...but I'm not sure I'm ready to advocate 3 Chase cards in 3 months yet...When in November did he get the SW plus ...with a $6k spend...I think I’d try for the CIP since the MSR is $5k...easy way to collect 80k URs

11/18 - SW personal
12/18 - SW Biz
01/19 - consider another Chase biz?
I know all this is settled as @wendow went for the Arrival Plus now but wanted to just circle back on this comment/recommendation. Regardless of when in Nov he got that SW Plus I wouldn't be coming back to Chase this quickly for a 3rd card (I'd at a min. wait until the calendar turned to February and attempt to wait until 60 days had passed since that SW Biz application).
Of course everybody can pace themselves how they wish...but here are my current rules with Chase:
As much as this is a sprint, at the same time it is a marathon. These are 2 constant factors at war in this game.
- Always 30 days between Chase cards (I know some people like to get them a few days apart...I see no reason to tempt fate). The only exception to this rule for me would be a modified DD that is required (i.e. CSR/CSP)
- Preferable 60 days between Chase cards
- Always 60 days before a Chase Biz card application
- No more than 2 Chase cards in any 90 day period
- No more than 3 Chase cards in any 120 day period
- No more than 4 Chase cards in any 180 day period
- No more than 5 Chase cards in any 365 day period
- These last 4 bullets are a general guideline and I guess I could break from this slightly if a situation warranted it.
Chase is the goose that lays golden eggs in this game - for somebody who is maintaining a sub-5/24 status, you don't want to give Chase any reason to stop handing you golden eggs. Be cautious and methodical with the applications, and if your spending supports more MSR than that then look to other issuers (especially other biz cards) to fill that void.
haha - no worries! I was confused though because it seemed odd for you to advise such an aggressive strategy, lol!Oh boy my bad have to watch my reading comprehension...read the 3/24 list of cards...as his applications 3/17 SPG 1/18 SW 11/18
And totally missed the next list
You are absolutely right...my mistake..excellent post outlining everything
haha - no worries! I was confused though because it seemed odd for you to advise such an aggressive strategy, lol!
I will also say that my list is definitely OVERLY cautious...but I like instant approvals and keeping recon eyes off of my account. PLUS I don't like wasting a hard pull for a denial.
Me too!Ugh, I want one! lol
