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.


how long does it take to get the certificates once you meet the spend?

Between 1 and 3 1/2 weeks after statement close.
I paid off the minimum spend requirement on 2 cards (and the payment posted) before the statement closed and received the certificates from both cards within 24 hours after statement the closed.

Just got the certificates emailed!
Is it safe now to cancel the card?

So were you able to cancel the card and get the fee refunded? Would love an update  ;D

Greetings folks,

I will be applying for the HHonors reserve shortly and would like to know if the following makes sense.
I had 2 HHonors cards, today I closed one after being able to transfer 10k of the credit line to my other HHonors card. So I am thinking that I should apply for the Reserve card for status since I am staying at a Hilton in Jamaica in July and then in Barbados in February. Once (If) I get the Reserve card I can cancel the regular HHonors card and then reapply for 2 more regular HHonors cards for the points.

As always the input from you folks here is appreciated. After this I need to work on some of my Chase cards :)

Thanks
S

How long after I receive the card should my account reflect the Gold Status from the CC? TIA

You'll receive an email about a week after statement closes.
Doesn't appear in your HHonors account.

If I have the card for less than 60 days, I got the two free night certs, can I cancel and get the AF back?

Will the free nights be voided?

The 2 free 'weekend' night
certificates can 'technically' be
redeemed for any weekday night.
Let's be sshhhh though, I don't really
want Emily from Citi posting a thank
you for Dan for his help in promoting
the Citi Reserve card.

Can someone please tell me as to how you go about booking this weekday night?

Any final answer on dans question if you can know 100% they will honor it before getting to the check in desk?

How hard is it to get the annual fee waived?

Yes this is how they send out their certificates. They use the certificate ID number found in the email to confirm your room using the cert.

You can't officially use these certs for weekdays. I had recently used 2 certs for weekdays. The first redemption worked on the first call and the second needed some HUCA. I don't know how you can be 100% sure it'll work unless many people confirm that it worked for them.

A lot of people in this thread and others have said that it works.
