Ending Mileage Offers…

Does sending a secure message on the continental card still work to bump the bonus from 30k to 50k?

what good cards are there, that are not chase

Sent a secure message on Continental and United and got bumped to 50K on both, still working well.

Can someone get more specific about the secure message. What does it have to say?

Chez

Just ask if they can match the 50K offer for the card. Everyone on the dd forums has got 50k that way on the Continental and United cards.

So where do we dump MR points if Aeroplan adding fuel surcharges? Any better alternative? Or just take the 25% bonus and hope we can redeem soon?

Hey Dan,

Never had a CO card. Should I apply for CO card now? Do I then have to cancel before they convert it to Explorer so I can get that bonus also?

@MR points:
I wouldn’t dump anything into Aeroplan unless you are ready to book something now. Far too risky.
Delta (with a hefty bonus, like the 435 offer now) or BA (for a short-haul flight) are other options, but why transfer before you know what you want to book?

I’m just glad I dumped everything into Continental when I did.

@JA:
You can apply for a Continental OnePass Plus and a United MileagePlus Explorer now and get the bonus for each. Use 2 or 3 browsers to apply for multiple different cards from the same bank at the same time.

Is there anyway to borrow UR points – want to get ipad on cyber monday at 25k point discount dont have UR points now

Does the secure message still work for the Chase Sapphire Preferred card? for the 50K additional points

whats a secured message?
can you please explane with a little more detail, how to apply on the same time with a few different browsers?

TRIED TO LINK TO THE 43%BONUS IN TXFR OF AMEX POINTS TO DELTA. BROUGHT ME TO “IS IT WORTH BUYING MILES”. HOW CAN I GET INFO ON THIS DELTA BONUS?

Dan. Whats the difference between the 2 cards Chase sapphire & Chase Ink Bold.

hay Dan,
when is Chase Sapphire Preferred ending and if your not sure do you think they will give a notice before?

If i have a United card from 2 years ago, what are my chances of getting another signup bonus now ? Should I close the old one first?

Dan, I have a few chase cards and I recently applied for 3 different chase cards (none that I already have) and have been denied based on too many inquiries in the last year (8 in total) and based on my exsiting credit line with Chase. I suggested to the rep that we just move some of the credit line from the other cards to open the new one threby not increasing my credit line with Chase. This too was denied. Any ideas on how I can get these cards approved?

@mike:
Not that I know of.

@Sruly:
No.

@shimmy:
Logon to your Chase.com account and click on secure message.

Don’t know.
They may, they may not.

@Ben:
Close the old one first and see what John said.

@stan:
There are a few numbers to call, posted here: http://forums.dansdeals.com/index.php?topic=8028.0

Just keep trying until your successful.
The key is to explain why you need each card you are applying for (free luggage on united, etc), that you are a good customer, and offering to close older cards and move over their lines or move over part of their credit lines.

@MR points:
You can downgrade to a card like blue or zync that keeps your points alive.

When is Sapphire ending?

If I have the Chase Hyatt card and I want another one, I assume I need to close the first one before applying for another. How do I ensure that I dont lose the points?

Firstly, How can i sign up for Ink bold Business if i am not a Business? Also they told me if i cancel my British Airways Credit Card they will terminate my Avois remaining in my Account! Thirdly,With the UR Program i can still transfer to continental or united when they merge is that correct?

Thanks Dan,

@Milton:
You don’t lose points once they are in an airline or hotel account even if you close a card.
The only cards where you lose points if you close them are if the points are stores with the credit card, like Membership Rewards or Ultimate Rewards…so be sure to transfer those points before you close the card.

@Heshy:
1. “-This is a business card, but anyone can apply for it. If Joe Smith sells items on ebay and wants a credit card to better keep track of business expenditures he can just open a business credit card for Joe Smith Sole Proprietorship. Just be sure to select “Sole Proprietorship” as the business type and just use your social security number in the Tax Identification Number field as well as in the SSN field.”

2. They lied. They get paid to convince you to keep your card open.

3. Correct.

thanks dan,I was told that amex {i dont think starwoods} dropped their forex fee, did you hear the same?!!

Thanks Dan! 🙂

Dan, Dont see “Sole Pr…”?
Also, i have to check all three boxes, correct? That i am owner…..

Isn’t this risky? 🙂
Help me out with this one 😉

@Heshy:
It’s under “type of business.”

Have you never sold an item on ebay? It’s not hard to have a side business in this day and age.

Also isnt there a offer of Spend 1 Dollar and Receive 25,000 points From Chase?

@Heshy:
Yes, it’s in this post:
http://www.dansdeals.com/archives/17261

Thanks! Ur really Quick 🙂

for AC is it a one time bonus per partner ?
can i transfer 2 times from amex to get the bonus twice

Does the 2Browser method allow you to apply for 1 business and 1 personal chase card and only get 1 hit? Has this been verified? If so I want to try this method.

I want to close my Continental card before the merge. But its less than 6 month since I got the 50000 bonus. Can I be 100% sure that I won’t lose my miles?

When is the chase Sapphire 50K ending??

if i have co card will i still be able to get the united after the merge?

Dan,

I am offered the Continental business card for 25k my snail mail. Shld I take it or will I be denied the UA business card bonus in the future?

Thanks.

@Uri:
Yes.

@lb:
Yes.

@Jacob:
Why not use the 30K Continental link? You can even apply at the same time as the 30K United link and get both!

There is also a 30% bonus for transferring MR to avios
Special British Airways Offer:
“Receive 30% more Avios when you transfer Membership Rewards points into Executive Club thru January 31, 2012!
Starting at 1,000 Points”

@Dan: Hi Dan, you mentioned you have 9 active chase cards. A couple of very important questions PLEASE. I am not a newbie but still would like to learn from you please.

Over how long a period did you collect these?

How far -apart- did you get these?

What do you do when the annual fees hit?

Do you ever close Chase card(s) QUICKLY if they give a freebie and get back the annual fee with the first 30/60 days? e.g. Southwest

If I push getting another business card ( after several approvals ) – do you think they will investigate my business?

Thanks for answering the specific questions. I appreciate your help and insights!

what is the ink bold usual signup bonus? is it ever over 50k? whats the avg?

Dan, from the ‘There is also “another offer here for 25,000 points for spending just $1”. Ends 11/28 (Apply by 11/27 to make sure you don’t miss out!)’ the link got me to an “Application Error” page. Can you check out the link?

Trying to take advantage of the 25% Aeroplan miles by transferring from mr, but I don’t see this promo in my amex account!

@Dan, can I still trade SPG into AA and make the deadline? Is it worth 100K SPG to hit the million?

@Anonymous:
All of these have been asked at answered at http://www.dansdeals.com/forums

@lb:
There has never been a public offer over 50k. It has been 15K before the 25K and 50K promotions.

@Ronald:
Try using another browser, clearing out your cache and cookies or browsing incognito.

@Amex:
It’s done on the Aeroplan side.

@Duvi:
Sure.
That would depend on how often you fly AA, but probably.
Remember there is a maximum transfer of 60K SPG per day to maximize the 20K:25K bonus.

I understand that I can avoid annual fees by downgrading to lesser card. What card would I be interested in, if I were downgrading from the CO One Pass Plus?

I can’t seem to get a straight answer from anywhere… Should I close my Continental card before it becomes a United Explorer so I can sign up for the United card later on?

@Farmbochur:

@sky121:
I don’t downgrade or close cards.
I open up new cards and then offer to have the old card closed in exchange for approving a new card with an equal credit line.

@Dan, thanks for the reminder to only go to 60!!

@Duvi:
No problem, enjoy million miler!

I actually own an llc but it’s small income of thirty k per year. Also I’m only employee. Should I just go the other route of sole p. or just list the llc and hope with household income they will approve.

@Lb:
You can do it either way. If you have an EIN number then go for the LLC I guess.

Chase website is down a whole day today is it only me or? Can’t apply for any thing

is diners club over for AA

The offer you selected
is no longer available.

50,000 Ultimate Rewards point signup bonus for spending $5,000 in 3 months on the Chase Ink Bold.

was given an offer by email from amex to upgrade to platinum. should i do it?

How long does it take to transfer for spg to aa to go through?

@MILES:
Yes.

@gershon:
Yup, looks like its dead.

@margo:
Whats the offer?

@Reader:
It may take a week, but the posting will be backdated to the date of the transfer, so it will count for million miler.

Hey Dan:

The Chase Sapphire 7% bonus. Do you get the 7% automatically or you need to sign up for the bonus?

Also, if I transfer the points from INK BOLD to sapphire to I get the 7% on the ink bold as well?

Thanks

@anon:
It’s automatic.

You only get it for spending on the Sapphire card.

Hey Dan
What’s the best way to use hilton honors points?

Dan ,I am at 974000 AA miles, dont want miss the deadline,if I transfer from Starwwods tonite will I make the deadline?,usually takes a week to transfer from my account to the airline

“I don’t downgrade or close cards.
I open up new cards and then offer to have the old card closed in exchange for approving a new card with an equal credit line.”

Yes, I understand that but will they let me apply for the United Explorer if my Continental card turns into a United card at the end of Dec?

@Eli:
Wait for the Waldorf Astoria Jerusalem to open next year?

@Yehuda:
The points will be backdated to the original date of transfer, so you will be fine.

@sky121:
To be safe open a new card now and have Chase close the Continental card to approve the new card.

Can u transfer starpoints tomorrow on the 30th as well?

I ended up buying miles ,instead of transfering,anyway to return miles and get back money?

@Reader:
Yes.

What’s the best way to use Marriot points?

Dan, for the Amex Bold business, when does the 5 months of spending 10K begin? From date of activating the credit card, or date of being approved?

Also, I have had starwood for a few years and for some reason, my points balance does not show anywhere (not on Amex site, and apparently I did not have a Starwood account to log in online). Any idea, have you seen this before?

Thanks.

Anyone hear anything regarding he Chase freedom if you swipe more than 30 times in 1 month you auto get 4%?
