Update. Could not use Apple Pay for the first $1,000. So I wrote them a check. We will still owe about another $2,000 when they finish the job in about three weeks. I remember our property tax bill is due in late October. So that will get us well over minimum spend.I’m a complete newbie to the credit card points game. However, I’ve been following this thread for several months and I’ve listened to a number of podcasts regarding credit card points for travel.
Yesterday, I broke down and applied for the Chase Sapphire Preferred. Got approved immediately.
The main reason now: We are doing some landscaping to our front yard. We already have the funds, but a $3,000 landscaping project on the CSP will do a lot toward reach a $4,000 minimum spend.
The landscapers want $1,000 now. I realize I won’t get the card for another week. But the account is open. I put the card in my Apple Pay wallet. The card in the wallet shows the last four digits only. Is that normal? Will I just have to suck it up and just put the remaining $2,000 on the card?
Also, is there a way to find out my credit card number? Again, I have the funds, but I want to buy SW airfare. I found some reasonably priced airfare for February to visit my daughter in Houston.
As always, many thanks.
Went ahead and bought the tickets for the Houston trip on Apple Pay. However, I’ve checked the Chase site daily. It still shows as a 0 balance on my card, but $188 card usage this week. (I told y’all this was a good deal.) I’m a little confused and concerned. Will I still get the 2X 188 points? I’d even be happy with 1X 188 points.
Hoping to get the actual card soon. Definitely by the 31st. Autopay on Spotify hits on the 1st and Netflix on the 2nd.
