If you get a chance eat at Low Country Backyard on HHI. Such good food and if it's nice you can eat in their fun outdoor courtyard. The best banana pudding too!!!

Thanks just ate at one hot mama....baby back ribs were delicious....I’ll suggest low country backyard for Monday

Ok, I’m so confused. Did this thread go stealth? I don’t see it on the main page??? Can only get there through my notifications.

I still see it under budget board. Did you somehow hide/ignore it?

So I’ve never actually canceled a SW flight. If I book on points, I can just cancel and get the points back, right? No vouchers or anything?

Points go back right away and the taxes get refunded to the card used.

Does anyone have experience taking the motherlode Junior from eBags on a spirit flight as your personal item? It wouldn’t be stuffed full, closer to the size of a regular backpack with just plane necessities.

I feel like @disneymagicgirl or @amalone1013 has done this.

I have no spirit experience, but have Frontier experience and it is fine for them. I think the biggest thing is that you have to be able to stuff it under the seat in front of you.

Did you use PayPal or Venmo?

I paid dd through Venmo last week with my CIP. Went through as purchase.

I love One Hot Mama's! They have an awesome banana pudding too and really good wings. DH loves the ribs.

Busy credit card night here.

DH applied for the CIC and called and it is pending with the "2 weeks" message, so I hope that means he will get approved soon.

DH called and got a 15K MRs for a $2K spend as a retention offer on his Amex Gold card.

And, finally, the AF on DH's CIP posted and he doesn't want the card anymore. Is there any harm in canceling this one (he hasn't canceled lots of Chase cards in the past)? Or is it a better idea to PC it (he would really rather cancel it but will PC it if necessary).

Newest Platicorn holder That’s how I party on Saturday night

Instant approval through cardmatch. Card # in hand and ready to start spending.

I’m assuming they’ll give me an MR# since this is my first Amex card, or do I need to sign up for that now? I haven’t had a chance to look.

Super happy to be a part of the, how does @Lain put it, “high maintenance mistress club” LOL!

Did you accidentally put @SouthFayetteFan on ignore? I did that once cause the boards like to freak ouy on my phone. I couldn't see the thread on the list until I figured it out only through notifications.

An MR account is automatically created for you. MR points earned across your Amex cards are automatically pooled into that MR account. You just need to keep one MR-earning card open to keep that MR account open and your MR points alive. Other than that, I can’t say I ever give much thought or attention to my MR “number.”

Congratulations! Now comes the hard part of keeping the mistress happy.

No harm in canceling the CIP. You can do it via SM. Any reason why you didn’t PC the CIP to a CIC and apply for a different biz card instead of the CIC?

Got it!
Thanks as always, and again I appreciate all of your input regarding getting this card and taking the dive into Amex!

Side note DH is a little butt hurt that he isn’t card matched for the Platinum. Haha! He keeps saying “what did I do wrong.” I told him he’ll have to just be my plus 1.

Thanks - SM is good since it's such a pain to call. As for reasons, yes, we are trying to taking things slower and being more cautious and he just didn't want to push the envelope, so to speak. I'm ok with it. 50k points are better than nothing and he just felt more comfortable with this path. There are more Chase cards he wants to get in the future, when his x/24 count is lower. Plus the lower MSR is good since he accepted the $2K offer on the gold and we are still working on my Plat retention MSR.

Thank you. Yes! Fixed.

I’m glad this thread didn’t disappear, I was a bit worried!

DP - I received an airfare statement credit of 80.01 for a Delta purchase in the amount of 109.00 (airfare was 259.00 paid part gc part amex plat charge). That covered the remaining air credit balance I had. Also received statement credit of $25 for Sam's Club membership.

How long did it take for the $25 Sam's credit? I still haven't gotten it and wondering if I should just cancel the Sam's membership.

Congrats!!

Omg my dh was the same way

Yes on the points going right back.
Be sure to tell them to refund the tax back to your credit card. I once cancelled and didn’t say either way (and then didn’t ask). I realized after the fact that they gave me a SW credit for the tax.

Just a churning whine- every single issuer only pulls TU for me. Its now 30 points lower than the other 2. I know its NBD and it’ll bounce back up, but its annoying me. Not planning another non-Amex app until spring so hopefully Amex will not pull next time and it gets a long rest. Stupid TU haha

My TransUnion is good but my Equifax sucks. I have 1 inquiry on TU and 8 on Equifax. It dropped below 800 a few months ago and it makes me sad. Lol
