Need advice on how to best maximize a credit card opportunity

[ShlockDoc]

UA club never had bonus points.
 
Chase bankers have no clue what they are talking about (unless you get someone that knows the system)

Many people here have had successful 2/3bm via bank

Great, so tomorrow I'll go into a Chase branch to open a Club card and then go online and open an Explorer card.   

They can both exist on the same MilePlus accout, right?

You don't have to go into a branch if you don't want to.
You can SM them to ask them to waive the annual fee for the club card as they offer in-branch and then apply online when they confirm.

But why make trouble if it can be avoided

How did you know I learnt in telshe:)

I feel more comfortable to get a offer straight up rather to sm MPO

[ShlockDoc]

I don't mind going into the branch to do it.   

Another issue is that I have a plain old MileagePlus card that was converted from Onepass.   I think that renders me ineligible for the 30K bonus for the Explorer...  (

I could use my business tax id to open it but may need to create a new MP number which would mean not being able to use my current miles.

I don't think I'm cut out for this stuff.  I feel defeated.

You cab combine two mileage accounts after you get the miles in your new mileage plus account.

The OnePass is a MC.

First of all you can get 55k. Second cancel your old one. Make a new ffn then after the new miles post you can combine the accounts

I had dozens of SMs asking for various stuff.  It's really not a big deal.

@MEIR613:
By doing it by SM and then apply online you support the site and its founders.
 So why don't you spend the minimal effort and show a tiny appreciation?

I really don't want to get into this conversation. I agree that you should support this site but IICC who went to a bank to apply for a ink card???

[meshugener]

Huh?

[ShlockDoc]

Bummer!   I applied for both the Explorer and Club card and then found out the the company will fly me on US Airways!!  Now I need to go read and get educated on their programs.   

[Drago]

Make sure to learn all about Hilton double dipping, and keep on top of their quarterly promos.

Credit the miles to UA for your personal use.

Sure, I can do that.  But now I need to apply for the US Airways Credit Card so I can get double miles when buying tickets.  That will be the 4th card applied for in a week...

You don't have a Sapphire Preferred, Freedom, or PRG?
