I've been using CapOne360 since they were ING, but am thinking of moving the kids' savings accounts and/or our emergency fund savings account to Ally. I haven't looked closely at their offerings but the 1.45% (vs CapOne's 1.0%) is appealing.We've had a savings account with Ally for two years and love them. I just told DH the other day that I feel like I get an email from them every other month saying they're upping our savings rate. We opened it at 1% and are now at 1.45%.
I did this AmEx offer for Hulu on our already-existing Hulu account and got the $50 credit, so you should be fine to do it on a 2nd card even though it won't be for a new account. When I finished the $50 spend on my AmEx, I switched the Hulu charge to DW's, so I'm hoping to get the credit 2X also.For Hulu, I signed up with an AMEX offer, and got $50 back as a statement credit. After the statement credit hit, I switched payment over to another AMEX with the offer hoping that I'll get the $50 credit again. Since it's supposed to only be for first-time subscribers it probably won't work, but I won't know until after mid April. If it doesn't work, I'll switch it over to CIC to see of that works, and if that doesn't get me 5x, I'll do what I do for Netflix.
That's great to know! I'm working on getting enough in free/discounted Disney GCs to buy our Disneyland tickets for this summer, but nice to know I can buy them with URs as a back up plan.Chase UR Cruise department can book WDW Tickets without booking a room!! Prices are what you'd pay booking online through Disney. One quirk, I was looking for 8 day tickets and he said he could get me 7 day or 10 day (and most of the days leading up to 7 sorry I wasn't really listening to that part). Now to wonder if I can get a 7 day and add a day to it at once I'm at WDW? For today I just got the quote, 34,800 UR for one 7 day PH with my CSR. Also, the UR travel department cannot book this and tried to sell me on a Universal ticket or private tour guide for WDW instead- are you kidding me? If I hadn't known from here to ask for the cruise department I would be like I was last year thinking this wasn't even possible
Got a work break so done! Re-wrote it a bit cleaner and tacked it onto the first post about booking with Ultimate Rewards.Can you copy and paste this information in a reply to the "Disney Tips" thread on DISchurners?
So, rookie mistake here... When I booked my trip to Miami through Chase UR points, I didn't look to see if there was anywhere I could put in an American Airlines numbers for miles. I don't even know if that's an option. Can I collect AA miles if I booked through UR, and, if so, is there a way to get them retroactively added after I take my trip this coming week? TIA!
I have read where you do get airline miles for this, but that was not my experience with any of my hotel bookings, so not sure if air is different than hotels? We have stayed at several different chains, they all had my numbers and we got zero points or nights credited with any of them.
The feeling when you forget to move your recurring Hulu charge off of your Chase Freedom card after you've maxed out the quarterly bonus...
Yeah, everyone's been creeping up over the last year. Even CapOne360 (ING) finally made it to 1%...

Indeed, I have also been with ING since the beginning. I have a LOT of accounts though, the thought of moving them all, as well as all their auto transfers is very daunting...I had the same feeling at lunch. Pulled out my phone to pay with Apple Pay. When the cashier told me they didn't take it, I pulled out my Freedom instead of my CSR. It was only 30 missed points, but 3 hours later, I am still mad about it, especially now that I can purchase Disney tickets without a room!!!!
I have been with ING since the beginning and those were the days of 5.25%. Glad it went up to 1% finally and don't want to break up with them, but that almost .5% more with other banks is REALLY appealing!

CapitalOne360 checking accounts actually earn more interest than Ally on balances under $15K (0.2% for CapOne vs 0.1% for Ally). I don't keep that much in checking so I'm sticking with CapOne for that. Plus, changing my direct deposit & all my auto-payments is just not something I'm willing to do. I will probably (eventually) move our main savings accounts, though. The Vacation & Christmas ones I'll keep with CapOne, since they have more in/out activity. The kids accounts and emergency fund just get monthly deposits & I try not to touch them besides that, so those are ones I'd move to Ally for the higher APR.Indeed, I have also been with ING since the beginning.

I get 1.5% on my money market account with c1 I thought.I had the same feeling at lunch. Pulled out my phone to pay with Apple Pay.

I do too. I think there are thresholds for the rates in the savings accounts. I have 2 money markets, one checking and one savings. The savings accounts, money markets and checking accounts all have different rates. Obviously, the checking is the lowest (.2%). The money market accounts definitely get 1.5%.I get 1.5% on my money market account with c1 I thought.
Well, my Miami trip that I have been SO excited for next week just got canceled st the last minute because DH’s work just threw a huge project on him and told him to cancel the trip. Of course, I booked a non refundable ticket with UR points. Is there ANY chance I can get my points back if I call and plead my case? I’m so upset
What does he do for his career!?!? I can’t imagine a job that did that. I’d be resigning pronto. Easier said than done I know. Ha! We just have never had something like that happen so I find it unacceptable.

Such a bummer!!Well, it was a trip for a conference for his work, so it's not like they're canceling our own personal vacation. I'm just super disappointed since I was so excited to get away and join him. He told me he'd take me somewhere else this summer to make up for it, but the whole point of this trip was that it wasn't costing us anything other than my UR points to get down there since work was paying the hotel and his airfare.
First world problems, I know... I just haven't had a trip since August and was ready for a nice getaway.
