DH applied for Citi AA today and got instant approval. Once we meet the MSRs we'll be set to book our biz class flights to Barcelona when the window opens in late June!
Are AirBNB charges domestic? The balance for our Venice AirBNB is due in a couple of days.
I'm thinking of putting it on my CIU to help with the MSR, instead of letting it automatically charge on our CSR which the deposit was made on. I may be over thinking it, but I don't want to be hit with foreign transaction fees.
time for a new card!

I second this! I hope this support offer will still be around in June as we hope to get another CICThe offers for the Chase Inks are still really great, 75k UR for $6k MSR/3mos. And the support offer is amazing at 40k. So that's ~125k URs with one MSR and no AF. Pretty awesome. I would suggest you support your P2 to get one, since you have a CIU and can create a support link. Then your P2 should support you back to get one. You have a ton of monthly organic spend to put to good use!
Agree. DH and I are about to go for our second round of these in 2023. I have also been using the 0% APR for 12 months to spread out paying them back.I second this! I hope this support offer will still be around in June as we hope to get another CIC
other than a virgin cruise next year from Athens nothing else other than domestic planned!Some people will have specific travel plans 1-2 years out and might look to earn specific currencies for that. Since you don't specifically list travel needs, like "I need to earn points for 2 biz class seats to Europe for October 2024" or something like that, I might suggest to keep earning Chase UR. You are familiar with that currency.

we each have the business CIU/ we can support each other for another one? thanks for the hint
i'm intrigues by the platinum amexes. I would love lounge access and I think I could use the other credits. are they the same busiess and personal?
i haven't been using my URs much since I'm hesitant to book air thru them with all the changes happening. I can always transfer to United or AA if needed I guess.
does anyone know if I book Hilton thru chase portal if I add my number will I get my diamond benefits?

The MSR card with no foreign transaction fee. Which was part of why I went for the Citi AA card.
ETA: Just remembered that the Gold dining 4x is worldwide now. I remember being peeved that I was working on a gold biz MSR but that dining 4x is still US only.
FWIW that is the email Chase sends to DD a credit. If you don't accept they'll mail a check. I've done it a few times and it's quick, if a bit weird to have a separate system. I recall creating a new login and added a separate checking account for it. I looked up my last email and the link should be https://chasepayments.jpmorgan.com/ if you want to double check.I got this email from Chase. I got one earlier in the week that they were refunding a credit balance that was sitting on my CP. I thought it would be a check but I guess not. Is this legit? I think so but wanted to see what you thought. It has the last 4 of the acct number and the amount of the credit balance in the email.

My points hit tonight sometime. Wasn't there this morning, see them there now with today's date. you won't have to chat.I'm over by a bit over 4 bucks not counting credits. I don't want to have to make up the over 300 in credits but also shouldn't have to because it's never been an issue before. My 90 days is just so close that I'll grab some gc next week if I have to but I'd prefer it hit before then. I feel like it's always been a few days. Why I'll prob chat mon if they aren't there so I can see what they see knowing there's more chance they'll probably be wrong than right

Balances to limits too high on accounts.That's crazy. Did they give a reason? Do you use the card a lot?
thanks for the clarification on hilton. I'll look at both doing the CIC or CIU supports and the amx platinum differences between biz and personal to see which one works bestI think the personal plat credits are better and the MSR is less. But the con is it'll take up a 5/24 slot. You might be able to pull up a support offer for 150k MRs and $200 statement credit for $6000 spend.
If your only Amex is the Hilton, you won't be able to support to a plat since cobrands only support to the same cobrand.
Booking through the Chase portal is a third party booking, so you won't get the Diamond benefits.
i flew into scottsdale, drove a bit, beautiful scenery. stayed at a place right outside (railroad stuff around), sorry I don't recall the nameHi all - avid reader of this thread, occasional poster....
Thinking of maybe visiting the Grand Canyon in the fall. Which airport is the best to fly into? Traveling from LGA, JFK or ISP if that makes a difference. Prefer SW but open to other airlines as I have URs and MRs for flights.
ETA: If anyone has advice on lodging, I could use some help there too.
