Consolidated my Premier onto my Plus less then a week ago. Haven't signed up for any cards in the last couple months since my 3bm+2bm.

1). How does it look if I sign up for another SW card if I just CL one over less then a week ago?
2). How does it look if I sign up for it with a 3bm? Chase Hyatt, Chase Freedom, Chase SW?

Did you sign up for a lot of cards before that? If you have a lot of pulls within the year, it may be a little more work to get them approved. I don't think you should have a problem.

No, I wasn't answering your question directly, I was just posting to the forum my experience if it can be helpful. For you personally, you ask what to do with regards to you just having signed up for two cards and now want to get the SW, IMO I wouldn't sign up for it just yet, but really it depends on your age, how you have been using those cards, and your history etc to determine if its really "healthy" for you. If you are younger then I would say keep it cool to begin with, keep learning and sign up for the next best card in a portfolio in a couple months. However, if you feel like you have what it takes, then absolutely, sign up for it, the pull shouldn't hurt you, especially if you do a 2bm+.

thanks much appreciated. I was asking more about whether the CC company will say to chill out. I know I can handle more cards I just want to know if they will say to hang on bc Ive only had two CCs for about a month.

I have a freedom and a united but I need a CC to be able to combine the points and I also want to get the companion pass with the SW CCs. Any Ideas on how to approach this?  Should I do 2 Business SW cc's and an Ink?

2 Biz. I figure it will be more of a chance for me to get aproved for all 3 and say I need each one differently for diff aspects of my biz.

Or should I do 2 personals? If I do that I need a card to be able to combine my United and UR points along with getting the companion pass

Confirmed on my end.
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.

Yeah, DDF'ers have reported meeting the threshold within a month, moving off the card (however you wish to do so) and getting the points. However I think they can take away your points before the 3mo.
I think ZevWold mean getting first year waived by sending sm without moving off card within 30 or 60 days of posting of annual fee

anybody tried sm with this card to get first year waived???

Can you lose the points if you close the card within 3 months (not to pay the AF)?

Yes I know that, referring if you didn't sell or use (like united).
