ink + freedom + sapphire= UR points which is better value than aa miles so it won't make a difference which chase card you use unless you have exclusives with your freedom

Have not followed G.C. as i am outside the states and impossible for me to do now -- but  will be back --- is this because  u can add a pin to G.C. and that results in it  being treated as a debit transaction --if got wrong -- please clarify how it is done

Time for a master thread for all these "Which card should I use question's".

[noturbizniss]

using gift cards will cost ~$140 in fees = $140/16,000 (extra points) = paying 87.5 cents per point (versus getting 4,000 points for 4,000 spending without fees).

Btw -don't wanna hijack the thread, just ..מענין לענין באותו ענין- how can I know if/how many points I have on my license?

In NY u can call the DMV @ (518)-474-0841 and u can ask how many points/violations /accidents are on ur license
 P.S. be sure to have time bc the wait time is long.

I think they will use existing quote. Because its so recent they won't recalculate my rate. It costs them money to pull up my record.

They don't have to rerun the record. All they have to do is update the effective date which will cause the ticket from three years ago to no longer count against you.

Like you would with a regular cc.

I did some  shopping for car insurance today. I looked afterwards on my driver abstract and saw  2 violations that occurred in April, 2010. One on the 7th for failure to observe traffic control device, another on the 30th for failure to wear seat belt. 1st comes up as 2 points, 2nd doesn't show any points. My understanding is that violations come off after 3 years. Is it possible I'd get better rates if I wait for April 30 to pass?

Afaik points stay on the license record forever.
 In NYS your points count for 18 months by the DMV so if u receive 6 points in 18 months u will get drivers insurance liability penalty.
I was told that by insurance they count it for 36 months. But it will only go off Dec 31 following the 36 months. I am not sure but that's what I was told.

I got very good quote from Ameriprise Auto Insurance and if ur a Costco member go thru them it will get u even bigger discount.

Points for insurance count for 36 months but will come off after the first renewal after36 months. You don't need to wait until dec 31 for that to come off.

[Thingywingy]

What is your source for Dec 31st after 36 months?
