Hey Gardeners,

Checking in for the day.  I'm just a hair over 1 month until Silver Spade!  Yay.

As for credit news, I decided to take advantage of Amazon's promotional financing for some holiday purchases.   This is good in a way, since I can now basically put the account on auto-pilot.   I'll be setting up automatic payments and won't be using this card as I slowly pay down the promotional balance.   I'll be using my Double Cash for any other Amazon purchases in the meantime.  

On Saturday, I'm going for the 3 CLI on my TE!   I'm getting so impatient for it!   I can't stand it!   Argg!!   Hopefully, TE will become my first 5-digit CL major CC post-BK!   

Anyway, hope all is well in the Garden!

that would be quite awesome to join the 5 digit club. Good luck i have my 61 day coming up at end of the year i will ask for an little bump. 

This is more UR related, but i think korean air may be my new favorite UR points partner. I was looking at flying to Maui on business 45k points RT not too shabby. The one interesting one was flying first class to BKK on korean air 170k points, thats an lot of points , but i was looking at comparing it to cash where it would be 19,000+ dollars thats some good value there lol.

That IS a good chunk of change!

i wouldn't be able to afford the 19000 dollar price tag but i have around 150k ur points now so that could be reachable within an few months i think. Just wondering if anybody here has flown Korean Air and had any positive or negative experiences?

Good evening boys and girls.

I've flown Korean Air Business Class to BKK. Can honestly say it was far nicer than BC on any of the other airlines I've flown. I recall at the time we said it was more like First Class.
