Does anyone know how strict Bofa is on their 90 day for signup bonus rule? I was under the assumption that my card only needed $1k in spend while it really needed $3k. I’m hitting 100 days since signup.

(One of the pitfalls of signing up for too many cards at once I guess, “mistakes we make while playing this game”..)

So I spent the next $2,000, the statement closed and I got the signup bonus  :)
I guess there’s a dp that you have 3 statements and not just 90 days with Bofa. (Two reps told me I won’t be getting the bonus, but I tried for it anyways).

Try reconsideration, otherwise nothing to wait for I don't believe.

I need to make a 3k insurance payment in a week.
Figured might as well sign up for a credit card, and get a SUB.
Questions:
1) I am currently not at home for the next week.
How can I get the credit card shipped to me, or at least get the numbers?
2) which card will approve the quickest?
I'm thinking of Chase reserve. Or any better ideas? I'm ok with thresholds of about 4k.

Pick something that gives a large SUB.
Only take a high fee card like the CSR if  you're going to get use out of it's benefits, or a huge SUB.
Dan's got the Citi Premier Card on the main site offering 80K SUB for $4K spend.


Getting the card  numbers while out of the house is a challenge.
Best bet is bothering someone to go into your house to get it.
Even if the bank gives you the number, do they give the cvv? I don't think so.

There are a number of lucrative Amex offers and they'll give you the card number immediately upon approval.

IME amex doesn't always give card numbers instantly
It depends on the customer

You can get the venture x. They have a digital card in the app which you can add to your phones wallet.

75k points for $4,000 spend.
120 characters? Hmm, I wonder what I could write with 64 characters. Boy, it's gonna be hard to use up 15 characters. W-

Which is the best CC to use as far as extended warranty goes? I have CSP, Marriott AMEX

Also have Ink Cash, Freedom Flex, Freedom Unlimited, United Explorer, Citi Premier, Cap One Venture.

I believe Citi grants an extra year of EW (compared to other banks).

I thought AMEX also does? Is that not correct?

No, I think amex is just one additional year. Citi typically gives you two extra years.
