Hi. Thanks for video. I just got an offer that expires 9/16/24. Is it worth getting if the first half of the bonus is issued after min spend within the first 3 months. Would that mean that I would get the credit in December of 2024, which would be a waste?

Hey Katie, I applied for the Southwest Priority Card on March 2nd 2024 I currently have the priority pass but need 80k points to get to my next priority pass when should I apply for the business card?
@katiestraveltricks9 күн бұрын
Sorry just want to clarify here. I think you qualified in March with the promo that gave you 30k + a Companion Pass through Feb 2025? If you get a business card now and finish the spending by Dec 1, you'll get your Pass extended through Dec 2025

That could be a great way to help them establish their credit, too! If you haven't already, you can add them to a card that you've had for a long time as an authorized user which should boost their credit history pretty quickly (you don't even have to give them the card!)

You are correct -- 5 accounts in the past 24 months, any bank. But Chase is the only bank that uses this rule to determine if they will give you a credit card. Sorry if that wasn't clear in the video

Thank you Katie! We would like to earn 2 cp with 3 cards but having a hard time figuring out the timeline… Step 1: P1 - open business card on Oct 15. P1 spend all $5000.P1 Refer P2 in December after statement, twice. Step 2: P2 - In Dec, with the referral, apply for 2 cards ( business and personal). P2 spends all minimum spendings. Q: is there specific time on the P2 spending? Ex. When to finish? Doesn’t all need to be done by Dec? Thank you!
@katiestraveltricks26 күн бұрын
I have a timeline here: katiestraveltricks.com/southwest-companion-pass-guide/ P1 can open the business card on October 15 but CANNOT complete spending until after December statement closes. P2 can pretty much spend ASAP because if they apply in December, their points would post in January at the earliest.
@mrsmakeuplover26 күн бұрын
@@katiestraveltricksso P1 has to also NOT finish spending by Dec 31, correct? Leave some for Jan? So you recommend to change the statement date on P1? Say Dec 1? So that P2 can get the card sooner with referral.

This is a great video particularly for families. I too, fell into the trap with a lot of these credit card KZfaqrs overhyping the transfer partners for crazy international flights and 15CPP etc. etc. only for the actual reality is that, it might be good for single people or couples with extremely flexible schedules. It does not work well for families with 3, 4, 5 or more that also needs to travel, specific dates, times, locations etc. During my research, I found some amazing flights that wanted like 50-60K Amex points, only for me to remember I would actually need 250K+ points with my family of 5 lol. So in a huge roundabout I ended up settling on the Chase ecosystem as you mentioned, using UR with the CSR at 1.5X is kinda like getting 33% off AND best of all, no waitlists, no crazy transfer times, no getting the points stuck with an airline, go on the dates I want, the time, the locations, the airline of my choosing, and of course book for my family of 5. It really simplifies the reward process, improving the quality of my life, not the other way around.

It was meant to be a joke since even if you board early with kids, you still have to sit in a middle seat. On Southwest there is no assigned seating. So you board in the order that you check in. But if you have a kid 6 or under, you get to board between the A and B groups so you will have plenty of time to get a seat together!

Considerations and strategy for those considering applying for a mortgage in the next year?
@katiestraveltricksАй бұрын
This can really depend on your lender. If you already have any cards with Amex, you could apply for business cards from them with essentially no trace on your credit reports (they typically don't even pull your credit if you're an existing customer). I generally recommend you pause for 6 months before a mortgage application. But I can also tell you that we have bought a house without pause 2x and once we had to write an explanation to our lender for all the credit inquires and new credit cards and give statements (that was with a credit union). And once we had to do nothing. My understanding is that the main thing the lender wants to know is that you are not racking up a ton of debt in other areas.

We typically book our tickets from the same Rapid Rewards account but make sure we both have our RR number listed. Then we each log into our own account and add our Companion from there. Sometimes when adding the 2nd companion to the same reservation, the website or app will glitch and we need to call in. When checking in the 2nd Companion, the app often gets confused too.
