Thanks!!

Places to stay in Chicago for a long weekend?

If JetBlue moves my departure time by 3 hours can I get a credit card refund or only travel bank?

Looking to buy 35K marriott bonvoy points. Let me know if anyone’s willing to sell?

Does anyone know when the SPG Marriott finalization will be complete? I merged my accounts, but right now you need to earn platinum by meeting either or, not by combined nights for the overall program. Thanks

What do folks think about the Uber credit card? I already have CSR and citi double cash. Worth getting it?

Have an amount of Marriott points I would would like to use to buy United miles.

Any advice on carrying out this transaction?

Has anyone tried to sell miles or points through one a site. I have a family member looking to do it and I had never looked into. Any experiences? Pros cons

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)

New year checklist for amex plat, CSR, Delta, and AA? :)

American airlines is so dumb. Was trying to purchase MCE seats for a long-haul. You can’t
purchase it online after check-in. And they can’t uncheck you over the phone. Good thing I fly Delta!

I screwed up. I’m a newb and didn’t know how mileages work and my gold status w AA is about to expire. I travel weekly and idk whether I should fly w/o status or pay $400 to extend it. Thoughts? 😭

What is your credit limit on CCR? We're going through some life changes (wedding, rings, travel, etc.) and was recently surprised to find my credit limit is only $30K even after being a solid customer. What are the ways I can get an increase in the credit limit?

Incoming BA - any advice/links on the math for the best credit card for personal use?

American Airline q - if I have Gold status and an American Airlines credit card - does that mean I get two free checked bags or one

I am sick of seeing these SPG Marriott posts!! Can we talk about something else for a change?

I have been searching for a travel card for months. I am a young guy who is looking to take advantage of credit and earn points at the same time. Cap One just released an interesting new premium travel card with a lot of seemingly good perks (Venture X). I also looked at the CSP and the Southwest Priority card. My girlfriends family has Southwest and swear by it, with companion pass being the differentiator. I am in the DMV area and have mostly flown Jet Blue or Southwest. Any thoughts on this?

Are there any major differences between the delta lounges at LGA?

Anyone else has two Amex plat and why?
