Naku already Chase Sapphire Preferred , Reserve unnayi... ippudu rule marcharu... cannot get another bonus related to Sapphire for 48 months. I would suggest to wait till March since 100K bonus might be available. Also better to not rush for another card immediately. I will apply for another Chase INK Business related card this year. I got 80000 points on Chase Sapphire with credit limit $30000 but annual fee is there. I spent over $60000 last year so annual fee waived. Credit limit highest is still Capital One which gave $42000. No other beats that for now. Next is Chase Sapphire and Then some other Chase and Citi with 24000, Amex 17000 etc etc. Credit Score 803 undi.

Before randomly applying cards familiarize yourself with rules from different issuers. Chase 5/24 Barclays 6/24 Citi 1/8/65 + 24 month language etc etc. If you are after signup bonuses, the card and the order in which you apply matter a lot. Amex cards even though they are good - you apply later because they are not considering how many cards you have applied in the past overall. Same is not the case with Chase, Barclays etc. This game needs to be played with caution. Mistakes can get expensive. 3 minutes ago, pittagoda said: I got 80000 points on Chase Sapphire with credit limit $30000 but annual fee is there. I spent over $60000 last year so annual fee waived.

But with the $300 travel credit, I consider it as $150 annual fee. I regret not taking advantage of the TSA Pre-Check benefit. My plan was to cancel the card after the 1st year but still have it. They give you $300 Travel credit per calendar year. Good to cancel once you take the advantage of the travel credit in the 2nd calendar year. Did they waive you the annual fee for spending $60K (OR) You meant the points accumulated took care of the fee? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Points tho cover but heard of you call them, they will waive. Too lazy to call. $300 travel credit unda reserve ki? If so I will apply. Every month traveling coast to coast.

They dont have a written benefit for waiving the annual fee on 60K Spend. What do you mean by "You meant the points accumulated took care of the fee?

Sizzler Posted February 25, 2019 Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 Yes Reserve gives you $300 Travel Credit / Calendar Year. But the fee is $450. I don’t think they will waive the fee. That is what they said when I asked about it. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sizzler Posted February 25, 2019 Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 Yes you can apply for the TSA PreCheck but you have to get the verification done in India. I was lazy to not get this done whenever I visited India. I think CSR pays once every two years for this benefit. Sorry that question was for @pittagoda He mentioned spending 60K and feel being waived. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you dont have a greencard you cannot apply for TSA pre by itself. You cannot refer for CSR. Dont take it otherwise, but you are running fast with superficial information. This will be risky for you and this is what banks love. Caution laaga cheppanu anthe nee meeda naaku kopam emi ledu. Slow down, read properly, understand the card programs and go big.

Sizzler Posted February 25, 2019 Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 Sorry that is what I meant TSA Pre through Global Entry. GC eppudu vastundho!! Oops I wasn’t aware of the referral program termination for CSR. All good... end of the day do you homework as you suggested and consider all factors before applying. Thanks for the information.

Sizzler Posted February 25, 2019 Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 Personally I learnt big lessons with the credit cards. It took me 2-3 good years to pay off the credit card debt. Now just using 1-2 and paying off without carrying balances. Amex Gold Card kooda undhi... just heard they are increasing the fee to $250. No benefit outside is the $100 airline fee credit.
