Now just hope the card gets here soon so I can use it for my Thanksgiving travel!
Good deal. I used the 32K link when 24K was the best offer and didn't try to "bump" my bonus when the 40K offer came out. BTW, if you're an elite with another chain, don't expect much other than what I described in my earlier post regarding the Gold status the card gives you; unlike SPG, where I've generally been greeted and thanked as Gold at check in and given some decent perks, I've never, ever been greeted as a Gold member by Choice staff.

I don't think the acknowledgment is terribly important, but just wanted to prepare you for what's likely not to come.
