points can be used for the AF.

Statement credits: If you have the exact number of points or more required to wipe away a charge, you can wipe away the entire charge.  If you have fewer than the exact number of points, you can only redeem in 2500 point/$25 increments.

Example: If you have an $87 charge, and 9000 points, you can wipe away the entire $87 charge.  If, however, you only have 8000 points, you can only wipe away $75 worth of the $87 charge (2500 point/$25 increments x 3).

I only had it on my radar after the recent blog post, which I've learned from. I'm paying attention to the CC forums more now. I really intended to apply for it earlier, but yeah, busy at work, family, JST.

I need to work on my z'rizus!

I get that, I just don't get the mentality.
Agreed.

Lots of stuff can be seen can be questioned, but it will keep happening.

Not particularly you, happens every time there's an expiring offer.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

I hear you.... All I can say is I certainly didn't do it just to give you agita. :)

(While/if I have the chance, I just want to say that the 5Towns seminar was unbelievable, and thank you for all you do here.)

If part of my $1000 in spend is actual travel expenses can I use the $400 to apply it to the bill?

I don't see the big deal in spending 3k over 3 months, I would think for most it would be easy.
Or is this only an issue for those trying to get 10 cards and have to spend 3k x 10 ?

I got approved for the 40K after 3K. Think I could lower it by calling? What would I say?

Can't hurt to try.
Say you heard the offer was available over the phone and would like to get matched.

They told me that that department is open 9-5 M-F, and that I should call back on Monday. Did you speak to them today?

I have not applied for this card. Was just offering my advice on what to do.

Oops - guess I was asking Shreknit then.

Thank for the advice, though!

I understand what he wrote, but after hearing how the Chase cards are the best aside from SPG, its hard to comprehend.
