Thinking about adding Chase Sapphire Preferred. Current holder of delta Amex, SPG Amex, and discover...all limits > 15k, pay in full each months but < 2yrs credit history, thoughts/chance of approval?

You'll probably get approved but between those other cards you seem covered. Unless you'll be traveling places that need Visa/MC

@ey1 I order a lot of Chinese food and they usually only take visa/mc 😂 but more importantly, the main parking structure at the client site only takes visa/mc and I do not want to be using my debit card for any transactions for security reasons and also want to get points/cash back for everything I can.

I'm in the same exact boat OP. What made you pick sapphire preferred? And also, how do you allocate your spending between delta and spg Amex?

@pwc1, current promo is great and generally heard great things about it. Delta, only like 3 recurring subscriptions totaling less that $50 a month. SPG, all hotel stays ~$2k a month, all other spending is on discover

Best card for traveling. Plus 50k points sign bonus is great

I looked at sapphire and maybe I understood it wrong, but it seemed like their redemption partners didn't include delta or spg....which didn't work for me since I use those two programs exclusively

Apply for it at a local branch. The banker can actually approve you, skipping all the administrative bs on the back end. Took me 15 mins to walk out of the bank approved for 21k

Chase now has a limit of how many recent applications you can have and be approved. Make sure you meet this before or you'll waste a hard pull. Also I will shamelessly send you a referal if you want.

How many points? Caribbean Marriott Cat 3 property, 5 nights. They have an issue with the boiler so no hot water and shower stops in between. Ice cold showers for 4 days in a row 🥶. Hotel phones don’t work because network is down and only local channels work on tv. Last night they had a huge leak in the lobby. They kept knocking stuff all night to fix it and then left a large floor fan running. I understand it’s tough reopening so don’t want to push, plus they upgraded our room at check in.

Worst part is, dealers are sitting around and have got nasty at my sister and I when they’ve been trying to milk us.

Is this even legal? Any alternatives options are appreciated
