why on earth would people actually pay money to watch that? More power to him, I guess

CNBC with the hard-hitting journalism once again!

cv, this thread has been really helpful!! My wife and I are closing on our first house soon (hopefully in a couple weeks or so) and I may use some of these same tactics.

Sucks that the 15% back at U.S. Supermarkets has a maximum of $10.

Mmmmmm, free latte.

Congrats!

yikes... that's brutal!!!

Plastic shopping bag.

Sent a secure message asking if I am eligible for a SP CLI on any of my accounts (Freedom $3k limit, Freedom $5k limit, Slate $3k limit, Amazon Prime $8.5k limit, Hyatt card $18k limit), and they responded saying no it would have to be a HP. I -would- give them the go-ahead, but we are in the midst of house-hunting and will probably be going for a mortgage in 2-3 months and I don't want any more HPs on my CR!!!

They're extremely stingy, in my experience. I have two Chase Freedoms (one was automatically PC'ed about 9 years ago from a Starbucks Duetto card) and I've received a grand total of one auto-CLI among both of them combined. Pretty heavy use on both cards from 2007 - 2012 or so, not so much in the last 6 years. Have never bothered asking for a CLI myself, since I don't want a hard pull for those.

yeah... I don't travel much anymore now (especially with two young kids), but my Amex Gold Card is my 4th-oldest (out of about 25 or so)... so I'd hate to get rid of it.

Checked a few days ago, and had a $10 off $15+ with Uber / UberEats on my Blue Cash Everyday.

Is it a soft pull? I'm seeing this verbiage below the "Submit" button: " You may be asked to provide your annual net income if we do not have your recent information on file. Income is used to determine eligibility for a credit line increase. Subject to credit approval."

This is wrong - the free credit reports that you can get once per year from AnnualCreditReport.com are your actual credit reports; the same ones you'd pay $ for potentially if you went straight to the sources' websites. They will tell you everything you need to know, including your last-reported balances on each loan and credit card you have, any derogatory marks, etc.

The Chase Amazon Prime card has to be right up there, too.
