Haha, don't know where to post this and it may be weird to celebrate - but I had to share with people that would understand my satisfaction!
Apped the Venture and CSP in November. At the beginning of this month I hit the total $7k spend to get my 50k (CSP) and 40k (Venture) bonus points/miles! Not to mention the extra for adding an AU. Woohoo!! CSP took a billing cycle to reflect the UR points and Venture applied the bonus miles the day after I hit the mark.
Victory!! Thanks for letting me share!
