Thanks wasn’t aware of that!!Changing your card number doesn't change the account, and wouldn't affect your age of accounts on a credit report. Otherwise every time you have fraud and have a new number issued, you'd have a "new" account age, which doesn't happen. Even changing from a CF/CFU Visa to a CFF Mastercard doesn't affect the age of the account. So don't worry about that when deciding to change an account or if a card is lost/stolen.
Most card issuers allow a product change on an existing account like Chase does. On rare occasions they don't and what they call a PC is really opening a new account. If that's the case then it'd be a concern, so it's good to confirm first. But just changing a card number on an existing account doesn't change the account on the credit report, just the number updates.
I'm kind of in shock over award flight prices. I just found out this week my kid got accepted into a research project over the summer so now I know when we can travel as a family. I booked flights for us in UA J round trip DEN-EDI in August (I'm excited for The Fringe and maybe the Royal Tattoo) for a 10 day trip (only 8 actual days once you subtract a travel day on each end). In my poking around here's what I found, given that our travel dates are not very flexible and it's during peak season--
United website: cash rate $6,235/person = $18,707 for airfare for 3
United website award tickets for the above itinerary: 330,000 mi + $342 fees/person = 990,000 mi + $1,027 fees for 3
Chase travel portal thru CSR: $23,783/person or 1,585,533 URs/person I don't even understand how that is; I mean I wanted refundable fares but the ones through the United website were refundable so I was comparing apples to apples.
I feel like the miles redemption is just meh, but with the schedule constraints and "last minute" planning this might be the best I can do. Any suggestions on places we shouldn't miss while in Scotland? Currently I have us staying in Edinburgh for 4 nights and then no plans beyond that although I'd like to get to the Isle of Skye.
That sounds like a great trip. You'll definitely have plenty of time to experience UO and know whether you'll want to go back, etc, while still including the experience you're more used to at WDW. Adding the pool day at BC sounds very fun! Hopefully you'll luck out and your room will be ready early on the day of the transfer.Thanks for all the input on UO. After a lot of back and forth, we decided to do a split stay. Our plan is to do UO for 2.5 days -> pool day at BC -> 3.5 days at WDW. I was able to cancel and rebook almost everything with UR, including 3 nights at HRH club level (DH request) and dolphin for 4 nights. I also booked a random BC stay in between the two because dolphin was booked up that night, but I think this will actually work in our favor. I know transferring twice in a week seems like a lot, but we've always wanted to try BC and this will likely be our pool day so what better pool for the kids to play in! We're taking advantage of the buy 2 P2P get 2 days free UO deal and the 4 day 4 park WDW deal so that's why the half days.
We have one near us and I agree, it's pretty good. Quite a varied menu. They also do 'TV dinners' which I have not tried but my mom said they were good.Restaurant recommendation near Dis: Lazy Dog. We ended up there by chance and it was delicious.

Most of the time, you have to have Chase add the personal card, then it will be available for transfers. Have you combined personal and biz logins? You also should be able to do it by SM since hold time is so long.hI
I'm on hold with Chase Ink (40 minute wait, hoping someone here can help! I want to combine my 160k points on my Ink to my personal csp. i can combine any ink to another ink but can't find where to add csp to transfer to
2n questions, I've had the csp iess than 4 years so not eligible for any new sub. looking to book almost 6k in air so it probably make sense to upgrade to csr. if i do that today, book air tomorrow, when is af due? and I can use the $300 travel credit immediately?
thank you!

Not the person you were replying to, but where are you finding AA biz to LHR for 57.5k points? Dh and I were looking at positioning for London next year and everywhere we looked we couldn’t find saver awards. Our current plan is Houston to Manchester with Singapore and on the way back London to DC with United.Congrats to your DD for acceptance into the research project!
If you’re looking for other options on getting to EDI, it might be worth trying to fly into LHR, then either taking a BA flight to Edinburgh or heading into the city to take the LNER. Might give you more cost-effective options, plus you could always spend a few days in London on either end of the trip. AA flies direct to LHR from a few airports and usually has biz class award seats for 57.5K AA points (you’ll probably have to pay a few hundred in taxes, but it may be worth it). I’d recommend booking the legs as 2 x 1 way tickets because it’s much easier to make changes to your itinerary.
AA has daytime flights to LHR from ORD and JFK, which would make economy seats bearable for the long flight, then spend a night at the HGI (Ts 2 & 3) at Heathrow or the Sofitel (T5 where BA flies from), then take the first BA flight to EDI in the morning. Super easy, but it means positioning flights, which I don’t mind to save points / money, but it depends on you and your family. Also if anyone in your family has SWUs with AA you can book an economy fare and get a free upgrade to biz class at the time of booking (you have to make sure the flight has upgrades available, which the call center CSRs will help you with since AA removed the availability for customers to view online)!

Sorry to see all the Ink denial DPs. Feels worse than I thought.
Has anyone been approved for an Ink in the last month or so?
Last day of Feb Ink dp:Thanks for the DPs! I suspect the change happened sometime in February. If you decide to try for the next one, that would be an interesting DP as someone who has gone slower.
Most of the TV dinners are pretty good, sometimes I'll use my uber eats credits there (It's like, buy 5 get 1 free) for some easy meals in the freezerWe have one near us and I agree, it's pretty good. Quite a varied menu. They also do 'TV dinners' which I have not tried but my mom said they were good.
I checked a few random dates in the summer and see ORD to LHR for 57.5k points in biz class booked with AA but on BA metal, but over $700.00 in fees OUCH; 72k points on AA metal with $5.60 in taxes. I’d definitely book with AA at 72k points for the lower taxes.Not the person you were replying to, but where are you finding AA biz to LHR for 57.5k points?
