Okay JB people, I booked the JB Extra (as my points were there this morning). For 2k more. 60k for the 3 one way flights, so that kinda hurt, but I got the card for the free checked bags and the flight home, so it is whatever. Plus if they ever merge w/ Spirit, I'll have flight bennies, LOL. They don't have a bunch of options from DTW either. It says it has the option of same day standby/change. We land in BOS at 3pm. The "earlier" JB flight is at 4:45pm. I know it's pushing it, as we have to gather checked bags and recheck them. But we all have TSA precheck so hopefully that might go fast. I booked on the 9pm flight. I'd prefer getting home earlier, especially since I'll be teaching the next day. Do I ask for the change online? App? At the gate? I'm assuming once we're on our way I'll have a better idea if we can pull off the earlier flight and Aer Lingus has free wifi. I also figured maybe I go back on the earlier flight, and my mom and 17yo (well she'll be 18 then, LOL) can get the bags, recheck them, etc. IDK.
Our flight from DTW to BOS we're on the cheapest fare, so we only get 3 checked bags and then personal items. Aer Lingus we have free carry on and checked. The JB flight back we have free carry on and checked. So I think I'm going to try and pack a duffle bag or something incase we need it on the return for souvenirs.
Also I called Amex again last night and they are starting the "extended warranty" claim on my son's hockey stick. So woooo!
Doing the math, I should hit the spend on my Delta card now w/ the next 2 charges for my kid's braces. So I'm thinking it's time to get the next card. I'm torn between the Wyndham Biz or another CIU. I have the CIP, CIU and 2 CICs right now. I think I might be pushing it to do another Ink w/o closing one of them. I upgraded to the CIP back in Aug, so I'm assuming it's not good to close that. If I close a CIC, I could downgrade my CIP to a CIC and have 2 CIUs and 2 CICs right? I don't want to close the CIU because it's my only 1.5UR card right now. The Wyndham I want to have before we do Vegas (we have a trip in July, who knows if we go sooner). But I want to do the matches by doing Atlantic City too, to get the MGM Gold and the free nights at the Wynn! AHHHHH!
My mom is planning on doing her funeral planning after we get back from Ireland, and I told her I want to open a card for it, LOL. I've joked about doing the Amex Plat Biz....But I wanted to time the Amex Plat Biz later in the year to try a triple dip on it. UGH.
I have the 49$ card. Not giving it up. I am going for the biz card later this year so I get my 2 fNC's around the same time. Biz is 140k right about now unless I'm not remembering correctly.
I never thought about timing them like that! I had the Traveler Premier and Biz. I cancelled the Traveler because I can churn it. But I know I can't have both personal anymore. I can burn the premier after Aug. So I guess I'll try to start timing the cards for that, LOL. I got the biz in 3/22, so I can't churn that for another year. So might make sense to cancel my Premier in Oct/Nov and get it in March. Then I could do the biz card again. Thanks for the idea, LOL.
