I have $23k in private school tuition that I happily do it for. $193.00 for tuition, $5.50 fee and $1.50 to Amazon, rinse and repeat, over and over.
If the hotel stay is a Hyatt, you should also compare transferring the UR to Hyatt. You can often get more than 1.25 cent per point value, but depends on the cash rate.

You got it! Yes, we use FACTS. My school takes any CCs whereas I think others do not. It is super simple in FACTS.I need to learn how to do this. Use CIC to buy Visa cards at Staples, get 5x UR, transfer to CSP and redeem at 1.25 for PYB? Can I ask if your school uses FACTs for tuition? I have one school using that and the other only allows ACH from checking.
You are a wee bit late to the baby competition Congratulations though! And only 13 years until his first AmEx card though.Baby Boy SouthFayetteFan… coming in January. My P5 18 years from now…

I have to find all my Menards receipts for the 11%, I've spent a bit there the past month. New house has me at Home Depot, Lowe's and Menard's multiple times in a week. HD is closest but my least favorite. I like Menard's best, selection and quirkiness. Thursday I dropped DS at soccer, drove slightly south to HD, couldn't find what I needed, hopped on the tollway which runs next to HD and drove north to hit Menard's. Found something that would work, took pics to discuss with DH. Back south to soccer field, big loop. Today we drove past Menard's to get to Lowe's because I have a $75 credit there. Of course they did not have what I needed but they do have a grill we could use for $75 off but it wouldn't fit in the car with the stuff we ended up back at Menard's buying.Price for my dog food is the same at Target and Menards. I buy at both places. We are always there, so the 11% works for us, and then when you spend it you get another 11% back on what you just used your last 11% on LOL. We got to Menards just to explore LOL, such weird variety. I actually buy a fair amount of grocery stuff there, they have great prices on a lot of it.
5 minutes.How long should I wait after the loan is approved before I apply?

We haven't traveled much thru the pandemic....I had lots of UR points,and used PYB for many things I wanted/needed at home in the meanwhile..... also offset the groceries for months cost,and used that extra $ to pay down my mortgage,so I found PYB very valuable! I also decided to hang onto a chunk for (hopefully) future travel use b/c that's just what makes me happy.... But being able to pay down our mortgage to almost $0 is more thrilling to me at the moment and PYB was a big part of that plan for us.Thoughts on whether the "pay yourself back" feature of CSP is worth it? My SUB just posted and I now see that there's a number of transactions that qualify for PYB (mostly restaurants and groceries). I was thinking of changing my URs to either Southwest RR for travel next summer or using them to book hotel stays through the Chase Travel Portal. But now I'm thinking that 1.25 cents/point is actually pretty good for PYB and maybe I should be looking at doing that first? Thoughts?
