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.

Its part of an AOR so since I'm flying with them anyways, i may as well try... or just be left with 40k points and a pull from trans union

if the 40k has a $89 fee and 35 does not i personally would not pay $89 for 5k.
i just applied for 35k and it's processing though i usually get approved right away.

on second thought maybe the companion certificate is only for the 40k. what i sthe meaning to the fine print "Applicants who are approved for the World MasterCard will receive 15,000 bonus miles after the first use of your account for a Purchase or Balance Transfer"?

I did the 35k and got the companion cert.
It means you have to use your account as in spend at least $0.01

They wouldn't for me. YMMV

Closed my card. Annual fee was really not worth it. Didn't want to refund it.
i tried to close to avoid the annual fee and the agent told me that they would definitely waive the fee just she can't because it still hasn't posted.  I waited till it posted and called back and sure enough they waived it without a problem, plus they gave me the 10k miles for renewing.
I figure it was worth it because I don't know what the chances are of being approved for a we card by them.

Now close it. See 50k Lufthansa thread wiki.

My brother just called and got his AF waived after having the card open for well more than 60 days so far.
Just sharing. Good luck! :)
