    It looks like you aren’t eligible for a Chase Boundless if you currently have or had the Amex Bonvoy within the last 30 days.

    If you have the Brilliant but want the Bevy then no. If you have the Bevy and want the Brilliant then yes. Most of the infographics have it that way. I saw one that conflicted. Plus with family language now, who knows. I had the Brilliant and was unable to get the Bevy. I downgraded my Brilliant...

    You're welcome! I have done it a couple of times that way successfully and according to DPs on FT from late last year it looks like it still works.

    Yes, we have each have had the card twice. Just know that if you don't use the travel together ticket before it expires it is unlikely to be extended. However, with your frequency of trips across the pond you will have no issue. It will cover the point cost for your companion but you still have...

    I applied a few weeks ago over the weekend and got the 7-10 day message. I called in on Monday and they just said it was pending and there was nothing to do but wait. I wound up calling again on the following Friday and got grilled about my business etc. I was able to move some credit to open it...

    You’re welcome. I never have the rewards card to swipe so I use alternate ID and enter my cell phone number. It works every time and DH does the same using my cell number.

    AA and Shell have a Fuel rewards program as well. So you earn a few extra miles when you purchase gas at Shell.

    I read a couple of successful DPs online about it. Both did it via SM. I didn’t do it myself as at that time way back when the SUB for the BBP was good and didn’t require a $15k spend. I’m going to edit my post as the two DPs I read seem to be outliers rather than the rule now that I looked...

    :welcome: You have gotten some good advice and I'm going to throw some more food for thought your way. Keep in mind as you enter this hobby, your goals can change. When I started this hobby back in 2012 I was only planning to do this for one trip to Scotland. That was it. This hobby literally...

    What is the value for you in ABD trips?

    We did it the during their first year offering and thought it was a wonderful trip. I imagine I could have done it for less but would not have planned the things we did do or go to some of the places we visited.

    If you go to the Adventures by Disney forum here in the DIS there is a sub thread called Other Options. I’m pretty sure all of those have been mentioned in there with feedback. Both of your options sound amazing! I will say I think Prague was a very cool city and I’d love to return.

    I will track them, but I don't keep track of them. When I book something I know the out of pocket cost and what I "paid" in points or FN certs and will usually discuss here or on FB. But I don't keep those in a spreadsheet. I probably should.

    They are a rarity. I was able to find 3 twin beds on Radisson points in Athens for this summer. The neighborhood was not ideal after further research so we scrapped that and booked a room that would accommodate three in a different area. Trying to find a room that would accommodate 3 in London...

    I did my first mattress run to get Globalist during the pandemic with the bonus journeys promo. Between spend and stays I have managed to maintain it each year. I don't know that I will be able to requalify this year. I do have a couple of nice stays planned but not enough between those and...
