Might work. I lost executive platinum and 500k points with American a few years back for violation of their terms of service. Probably worth it 🤷🏼‍♀️. Report back!

Sneaky idea until they catch you. No doubt such a scheme goes against their terms of service, and if they find out, at a minimum you get banned and points revoked, and at a maximum you get sued or face criminal trouble.

I'm under contract for a new build in progress that won't be done until much later this year. I fully expect interest rates will be higher than what I originally estimated. I may or may not try to lock in a good rate early, but I'm planning on renting it out and this throws a bit if a wrench in my margins. I can take it financially, but wondering, If I absolutely needed to get out of buying it, what recourse do I have? Or could I go ahead, and refinance later (who knows rates at that time...)?

Hi fellow fish need some advice.

I'm planning a wedding and wondering if I should apply for new credit cards to maximize on points. If so, wondering what your recommendations are and or if there are new cards out there I haven't heard of yet. For context I probably have another 20k+ in expenses to pay still and my current cards are:

CSP
Marriott Bonvoy Boundless
Citi double cash
Random card (used to be uber)
