Chase IHG Premier or something else

Anonymous — Tue, 17 Nov 2020 04:11:36 GMT

I am looking at getting a new CC at the end of the month. I am looking for the best SUB to help me cover some costs of a trip to Vegas next June. I can get two nights at the Venetian with the 140k points from the Chase IHG card. Any other suggestions I should consider?

BofA and Amex are not an option (blacklisted from prior BK from years ago). My Fico 8 scores atm are EX 787, EQ 758, TU 718. I am currently at 4/24, so Chase is an option.

I don't think Chase approves if you still have a BK on your report

You could search MDD/modified double dip..

80k CSP offer is still available via Rankt referrals site/list

Biz cards also a good place to dip your toes in

A different way of thinking about it is what about Chase IHG Premier and also picking up IHG Ambassador.

What you could do is get that IHG Platinum card and earn the bonus purchasing discounted IHG points.

Then turn around and take those points to buy IHG Ambassador status for 40,000 points (which you bought at half price)

It also comes with a free weekend night which I believe is valid day one, not just on card anniversary.

Not sure what Chase's criteria are re: BK.

I don't much about casinos, but June IHG Venetian rates are much higher than June MGM property rates.

If you wouldn't mind MGM properties, then the Chase Hyatt card could potentially get you many more free nights.

How old is the BK? Was Chase (or any of its predecessors) IIB?

The BK fell off my report in 2017. I currently have a Chase Amazon Visa and Chase Ink Cash, so I'm confident I can get approved for another chase card.

Thank you for the suggestions, I will do some more research!
