Mini App Spree

dodfire — Tue, 11 Jun 2013 06:50:24 GMT

Sorry Lexie I know I was suppose to stop but now I am done...I promise!!!!!

So over the past couple of days here is what I have done.

Citi Prestige

Citi Thank You Premier Signature

Amex Platinum

Visa Black Card

Yes I know that is over $1500 a year in AF but the companion tickets on the Prestige and Platinum will pay for that as I and my family are doing a lot of international travel.

First of all congrats on your spree. Nothing mini about 4! Quite an arsenal you have accumulated. It appears you thought about the AFs and the spend requirements.

Your plot in the garden is waiting for you.

Thank you Lexie

I am already at the garden gate, begging to come inside. Now it is time to start trimming off some fat in my wallet. I will start to work on my CLOSING SPREE next.

grats on the approvals!

Nice cards there. Just can't really understand that black card though :/

What do you think you'll be closing?

Don't close the Macy's IMO. It's SP CLIs and there's good discounts if you ever decide to shop there. The discounts apply to Louis Vuitton, Chanel and other designer brands too!

And why not PC the Delta Gold to another card instead?

Re: Mini App Spree

09Lexie — Tue, 11 Jun 2013 07:18:19 GMT

PC Delta- good idea enharu

Agree with Macys.

Good ideas....I might consider doing that..Thank you!!

Surprised you don't have any Chase products

Re: Mini App Spree

dodfire — Tue, 11 Jun 2013 08:03:02 GMT

Not for the lack of trying...I have applied 3 times for the CSP and they always deny me because of the forclosure in 2008

Congratulations on the success!

Out of curiosity though, since I don't know many other people to whom this question can be addressed: What do you find useful about the Visa Black card beyond the benefits that the Amex Platinum offers?

Thanks!!!!

As I said before, as far as the benefits, rewards, perks, etc. I still think that the Amex Platinum is the better card up against the Visa Black.

I wanted the Black Card more for a personal gratification. Because it was my number one goal card back when it came out. Knowing I could never and will never get something of an exclusive card such as the Centurion or Palladium. I made the Visa Black my GOAL card.

I know many people dont like it, and there are those even on this forum that say "anyone" can get the card. Well good for them. I did what I did for ME and not anyone else.

So in closing...if you compare the two cards I still say stick with the Platinum.

Thanks for the perspective! Will keep that in mind when I have a need for a premium card in the future which hopefully won't be too far.
