@1GoldenSun Our family would have been tickled pink if we ever found our stroller decorated. What a nice idea that you had! I would never have thought we had a stalker lol!
Just catching up not even a day and there were lots of pages to catch up.Hawaii I want to go to two islands Maui and Oahu. Italy want to go to Rome & Venice. I opened 2 credit cards in past 24 months. Yes I own a daycare business. So any hints you have for me would be great.
I don't know what this means but I am quoting this for future reference. Sounds like Amex 102 and I haven't gotten through 101 yet.
@calypso, July 2020 for me...but I'm flying to either Australia or Fiji the day before so I can skip my bday and be 49 for a year. Just a suggestion...
Aw man! I never considered bypassing time itself. Excellent idea!!! Are you doing the Australia ABD? Still wishing ABD would do Fiji and New Zealand ... grrr. Well at least Japan is on board
#lifegoals... @Albort ...Apparently, he is not just expert at Credit Cards but also Churros! Who knew? lol
DITTO!!! We are Disneyland bound in T-24 hours!1 day happy dance
My main reason for posting. Last night before going to bed my husband said “do you have a new card yet?” Guess he has something he wants to buy for $800 (he knows me so well....it won’t bug me as bad if it is a purchase with a purpose!) SO I applied for the CIP finally this morning. No idea why it was freaking me out so bad. Chase just makes their business card applications so serious! 30 day notice so fingers crossed. I am cautiously optimistic. With DH’s referral 100,000 UR’s make me a little dizzy.

I have been surprisingly correct on gender. Now what people actually look like (as I have a picture in my head) is probably quite wrong.
I have posted for years on the easywdw forums. Trip reports and everything. They always would make fun of stuff on the Dis and my thought was stop looking at it then! But it was actually talk of credit cards on that forum is how I stumbled onto this at Dis. I had already started doing some cards (which is why I had the capital one venture one that finally went off last month), and then I found this thread 2 years ago last summer when the Reserve came out. I don’t know if I was posting but I was following @calypso726 and her saga to get a Reserve. I started obsessively reading this because the people on here all know what you are talking about versus the one other person on easywdw who kept lecturing other people. So yes, there are a couple threads I will follow on the Dis but for the most part just this one. It is enough and keeps me busy! I have to say I have posted on the restaurant one once or twice and it is a little crazy. I mean I know Disney pretty well (AP’s and last year I went on 4 separate trips) but sometimes....

I think you and Merida have a remarkable resemblance!According to some of the members here, I resemble my avatar well, except for eye color, the fact that I'm pushing 50 and could never pull off that dress But we both have red hair that refuses to comply with any sense of order or style and does whatever it wants to do.
Ha, I am one year ahead of you, July 2019. I like your idea, maybe I should try!!!@calypso, July 2020 for me...but I'm flying to either Australia or Fiji the day before so I can skip my bday and be 49 for a year. Just a suggestion...
What an excellent idea since we are looking at going to Australia. Only problem is it is their winter in June and we have been there in July 2000 and we want warm summer weather next time we visit. The rainforest north of Cairns was the only place that was warm. Sydney was more like spring weather in MD and the wine country of Sydney was cold in July.@calypso, July 2020 for me...but I'm flying to either Australia or Fiji the day before so I can skip my bday and be 49 for a year.

I do sometimes but I’m happy they laid the foundation for our group here and let us take off and try on our own so to speak.Does anyone wonder about the OP of this thread? This started almost 2 years ago, I am sure it has gone on longer than she/he? ever imagined. I don't think they have posted on here in a long while, I wonder if it was a once and done thing or if they are still following along. I am glad it started, would never have heard of this if it were not for this thread. At that time we had the Disney Visa and the Freedom that I used to get cash back from. Thought I was doing good with those 2. lol Actually, I did get the CSP in May of 2016, before this thread. That must have been from another thread I read here on budget board. My husband thought I was crazy for getting a card with a fee. And I never tried to get any in my name, did not know I could before this thread since I am SAHM. I am still much slower at this than most, we have gotten 8 new cards combined in the last 2 years.
Thank you we do have the SW cc and both had free companion this year, plus we just opened it this year so we also used our reward points and went free. 4 trips to disney and only cost us the points and cc fee.Just catching up not even a day and there were lots of pages to catch up.
I would do the CIP then wait 31 days and apply for another Card. UR have lots of choices for airline and hotel. Like others said the CSR and CSP double dip but since you are wanting 2-3 yrs out might want to save that for a little later. When we went to HI the Hyatt Place was the cheapest I could find that I liked the reviews on. Marriott across the street had a $25 resort fee. After checking it out it was nice but to me not worth that fee. You could do SWA and get your companion pass that way you only have to pay for 3/4 flight depending on if you and DH get it.

She has actually started a couple of other very successful long running threads.Does anyone wonder about the OP of this thread?
