That’s a Chase personal card, not an amex business.
I just tried to cancel my card before the 1 year mark. They said they would claw back the sign up bonus if I did that. I have been doing churning for over a decade, and this is the first time I have been told that. They did tell me that there is a window after my 1 year mark and before the annual fee kicks in, so I can cancel then. What happens if they try to claw back 5 free night certificates that I have already used???
It must be the long 10 years since you started churning that contributed to your forgetting that the very first thing you learn is never cancel in the first year, which is true across the board for virtually every card, every bank
Trying to get P2 setup for some Marriott points so we can visit the Ritz in the Virgin Islands in a couple of years.
What is the best order for getting the Marriott cards? Amex first?
Currently, P2 is 1/24.
Just used 2 x 5 FNCs in SoCal. All $550+ resorts. The new Shoreham and the new Proper in Santa Monica, the Lido House Newport, the VEA resort Newport and the Marriott Laguna Cliffs Resort. (Lido House is hardest but all are equally good and others easier).
Thank you for listing these as I was trying to figure out best places/spots to use them as for points these days, I’m seeing .009/c at best redemption like $200/nightly rate and points needed were 23K/night.
Does this offer still show on referrals?
Anyone know when the 5 nights expire?
1 year from the day you meet the spend
Dont meet the spend too early if you want to give yourself more time to use them
That’s a pro-tip right there! Going to wait 5 days b/f the 6 months window to ensure we get 1 year to use’em up.
Redeemed the 5 free nights for upcoming NYC x-mas vacation. Expedia value was $2600 but was able to book the room for 58k per night, (50k cert + 8k add on). Best redemption and bonus I’ve ever had. Deals are out there, you have to get lucky and be flexible. Not too hard since you have a year to use them.
Which hotel/collection did you end up booking if you dont mind me asking as we have a trip coming up to NYC in summer/Spring. Thanks
Used my 5 nights at the Royalton cancun all inclusive in Sept. cash price would of been $1800
Wow, all inclusive!! We used 4 of these at Westin Lagunamar Cancun but not AI. Would’ve saved a few hundred on food if it was AI! You win haha.
