The one thing I've learned about this game (to quote ingy at www.frugaltravelguy.com) is not to be greedy. 70,000 bonus points don't come along very often, if ever. Heck, what are you waiting for. Sign up now.

I got approved for this card and am going to start planning a vacation for next year. With the 70k points you can get 2 nights at one of Mariott's Vacation Club locations that typically go for about 400-500 a night. The problem is I want to go to an East Coast beach location and there is no availability for using points, only cash.
If I check out some of the Florida MVC properties, you can book those with points, so I know it is possible to book these. Anyone have any experience with these? Do some open up at later times to book with points?

Regarding the expiration date for this offer, Chase told me: "This is our most current offer, and after reviewing the application I do not see an apply by date listed. However, please note offers do change frequently. To ensure you receive the benefits listed on the application, please apply at your earliest convenience."

Hi, guys.
I am looking to apply one or two credit card before the thanksgiving. Which card is better, this one or Chase Sapphire preferred? Since I read somewhere in this thread that I should not apply two Chase card at the same time, I guess I can only choose one of them, right?
Any thoughts will be appreciated!
And for another card i am looking at spg or sounthwest 50k, since can't find a good airline around 75k offer.

Sapphire is more flexible as you can convert it into CO/UA miles, BA miles(not a good idea) or Hyatt points. Marriott is just that - Marriott stays. If you stay at Marriott a lot then that's a better card, if you like Hyatt better or want the miles then Sapphire.
Forget the Southwest card - see this thread:

For the employer field, I always put Homemaker, and then put my husband's income for income. I'm 8/8 approved applications this year, so I guess it doesnt' send up any red flags.

It depends on what you want to do with your points/miles.

bonus
mrs ddfr was approved for this card on the phone and we are quite pleased.
However, I think she had the card a few years back.
Given that she has been approved is there a chance the bonuses (points and cert) may be denied (in spite of the card approval) if in fact she did have this card a few years back. Or, am I worried about nothing?
Any guidance in this area would be very much appreciated.

What do people think is more valuable? The 70K Marriott points or 80K Priority Club points? I'm debating which offer I should apply for. Thanks.

How bad could the credit hit really be? - I couldn't imagine it taking all that long to recover, but then again I really don't know.
