Chase Sapphire employee gave first congrats!

acb5456 — Thu, 25 Dec 2014 23:43:46 GMT

Called in yesterday to alert Chase that a large purchase was going to put onto my Sapphire card. He thanked me for the alert and asked the amount, "a little over $6,000," I told him, "at Jareds, the jewelry store!" (I'm sweating bullets at this point for the purchase I'm about to make!)

He then said, "Well let me be the first to congratulate you, I know she will be a very happy girl!"

I was so happy to hear that! Though I thought it was interesting because I could have been purchasing anything expensive really! A necklace, earrings, etc! But it's an engagement ring!

Can't wait until our trip to Rome & Istanbul in March, how am I going to hold this in and not spill the beans before we leave?!

Thanks for reading, Merry Christmas

Congrats and enjoy your trips as well!

I would call in anything above 2-3k in a charge just to make sure I wasn't embarassed in a store before hand like you did! I dread that happening ever.

Congratulations!

Though the barclay ring would have been a lot cheaper

Thank you all very much!!! I'm so excited!

Gornet: I think I will propose in Rome, being the Eternal City and all! But I will have the ring with me the whole trip just in case we stumble on a beautifully romantic spot in Istanbul, which I think would be neat as well

So acb came online and told everybody-

"But it's an engagement ring!"

So that joker bought a 6k ring, flying to Rome to pop the question so add another 3k, food and pther stuff prolly 1000, and he's in for 10k on the ENGAGEMENT! So what ya got lined up on the honeymoon?? Youre the man.

I just gotta ask- You sure this is a done deal??

Not that my vote matters but pick Rome! Trevi Fountain at night is lovely but you would probably have an audience. Many other spots to choose from Major congrats. What a beautiful surprise for her.

Thank you all, again! I really appreciate you reading!

HeavenlyFlower: I will absolutely keep that in mind, sounds like you know what you're talking about! Thank you for that location insight!

BamaGuy: Thank you...I think haha I apologize if it comes off as though I'm bragging, I can assure you I am not! I cannot stand people who use these boards to brag about this and that, and I vowed to never be one of those types! But this was just too exciting to not share, I hope you can understand! It's amazing what kind words from complete strangers can do to a person's mindset and outlook on life in general, so that was my motivation in sharing

And by the way, the ring and the trip are very much beyond my means, but this girl is incredible and she deserves the entire world, which I would give if I could. She's worth every penny of savings and credit that I have put towards this journey.

Thanks again

I don't really think its bragging on here so don't worry about it. Like Yogi use to say, "it ain't braggin when you can do it."

I was just curious what your next move gonna be when you get back from Rome.
