Topic Wiki

To signup for credit cards you can click here or on the “other credit cards” tab on top of the DansDeals logo banner to view links for card offers. Then just click on the link to “View all card offers by issuing bank” and scroll down to view all card offers from the bank of your choice.

Pulls from TU in NJ, NY , FL , PA

Recon 866 408 4064 (might pull from Experian)

For those who want to churn and/or want to get the bonus without paying the annual fee: Wait until the A/F gets charged, pay it off with the rest of the bill, and the sign-up bonus will post (at the end of that billing cycle). Then call to close the account and ask to be refunded. They can't charge an A/F for a card you aren't using. You will not lose the miles once they are in your US Airways account.

It seems that if after you use the card you just let it sit unused for a couple months, they will then email you with a targeted offer for 15,000 more points for spending $750 a month for three months.

Consensus seems to downgrade. Other than the arrival card (which I'd prefer to apply for and get bonus) which cards are people downgrading to?

You can downgrade to Arrival and still go ahead and get the Arrival +

I thought i had downgraded a bit before applying, but after getting approved, i noticed that the card still showed as US. Not sure what happened, but i still got the card.

I had one card almost a year ago. I downgraded a bit before the 50k offer and then applied for the 50k offer.

Though it seems they never actually downgraded my card.

Anyone know how long it takes to the $25 credit for switching to paperless, it's been over a month now and I still haven't received it.

over the last few days, some people have gotten their credits. Check your account daily and it will eventually show up

If my bonus miles were added on my credit card bill but they didn't process the transfer into my dividend account yet can I still downgrade-close the card without losing the miles or do I have to wait for it to post into dividend account

I wouldn't close it if it's not in my USAir account yet.

Made that mistake a while ago. It cost me 40k points. So be patient. 40k is worth way more than $89

Paid the AF before last statement closed. It's been about 30 days since, still no sign of the miles... How long is it supposed to take till they post?

Flew USAirways this week, presented my card and they still charged me for my bag. I paid with my USAIrways card - is it worth disputing the charge?

The AF charge didn't post until the 2nd statement... I should wait until after the 3rd statement closes?

Interesting. What was their excuse to charge you? You should definitely complain.

I hear. No personal experience, but I guess that's the way to go.
Maybe give Barclay a call, say that you need it for a trip and see if they could expedite it.
