PC points worth 1 cent each??

So, you could say, I got at least $1,200 out of the points, with 5K left over toward a points break night someplace later on.

For me, that was worth a credit pull. But then, I knew what I wanted to do with these points before I applied.
Thanks for that.

Anyone used PC points for airlines? How do they stack up?

You also get the 7,500 point rebate, so possibly 2 nights at a pointsbreak property later on.

Do you mean transfer to partners? The rate is 10k PC points to 2k airlines miles with many partners, like UA, AA, DL etc.

Personally, if my main interest was in airline miles, I would first look at any Chase cards I did not have that either gave me miles directly, as with UA or SW cards or indirectly though ultimate reward points such as with Sapphire Preferred, Freedom, and the Ink cards that provide sign up bonuses that may be transferred to UA, BA, SW, etc though the ultimate rewards points.

Yes, another useful benefit of the card. I do believe this card will be a "keeper."

Can you give more details? How long did you wait after getting approved for the first card before cancelling the card,

and then how long after that did you apply the 2nd time?

Your free night certificate comes on the first anniversary of getting your card. so, you have 4 more months to wait.

I got my card about 5 wks ago. The statement is coming up soon, so I guess I'll get my 80K points then. But I already got Platinum status; is it strange to get the status before the points?

Anybody know if the 80K offer is still valid? My fiance might apply.

How about asking me to post youtube video of me dancing gangam style in adult diaper and dirty plunger on top of my head?
You welcome in advance.

The card itself confers Platinum status, not via points.
