Doesn't make sense to me. You're and hour or two away from the park and a few more from most interesting spots.

...says the guy driving 30 hours to get there

Credit Cards / Re: Membership Rewards

Yes open first the new account should be linked immediately.
Then you can close the biz green and still keep your MR.
On a different note I whould recommend the Blue Business Plus over the everyday card.

Thanks. Was looking for a personal card, that's why I chose the Everyday.

Weird thing actually happened, I got the not eligible for welcome offer pop up on the Everyday, so tried the Everyday Preferred and didn't get the pop up even though I've never had either of those cards.

Do CC's under the same SS always get the same MR account? I want to open an Everyday and close a Green Business and want to ensure my points remain alive.

Those are the ones I feel bad for.
If my two kids who are making a little bit more than working told me they weren't going to go back to work they would be kicked out of the house.

Now it makes sense. They know you well enough to tell you their itching to get back to work

Very interesting show IMO. Good wake up call (not that it already happened, but that it could).

America should default on all debt to China. Give them the middle finger.

If only that wouldn't hurt us more than it'd hurt them...

Wonder why so many DDFers are getting approved by Chase in the past 24 hours.

Also, if anyone has any direct contact info for a PPP banker at Dime, kindly share the info.

Thanks,

Asher

I know of a few Chase approvals as well. I'm guessing some of these were approved over the last few days, they just now got their act together and started sending out the emails.

From Chase


I am pleased to let you know that we sent your PPP application to the SBA for processing. We’re working closely with the SBA as they’re receiving a tremendous response this week.

We don’t know timing yet, but we’ll email you as soon as the SBA notifies us of their decision on your loan.

I’m proud that our teams worked tirelessly to deliver more than 220,000 applications – including yours – to the SBA this week. And we’ll continue to process and submit additional applications until PPP funds are exhausted.

We got this as well. I hope it isn't just an attempt by Chase to get all their clients to back off a bit and stop bombarding their bankers.

I'm afraid what they really mean is that they hit the send button on all applications without regard to the fact that the SBA hasn't received all of them.

Lets try the reverse now with what that wise person said.

Jew is not a country. Israel is. And I'm fine with someone saying "the Israeli virus" if Israel had come up with it.
Chinese is not a country. China is. And I'm fine with someone saying "the China virus" if China had come up with it.

WOW it works that way to. I appreciate you proving my point.

e.g. The Spain Flu.
