I particularly enjoy having to run my (semi-garaged) car's A/C on my drive to work in the morning. At 6:30 AM. :rolleyes:

Mine was $5K to start -- that's b/c I had a large line on the CO World MC. I later combined that line w/the CO PP card & closed the old a/c.:-:

i've gone over the 'limit' by 1.5k once on a purchase(paid off shortly after) and no problem at all.

I am not sure what my credit score is, but I think I will look into it. My SPG AMEX has a 20K limit and my Chase CO MC has a 15K limit. I don't carry a balance on either card.

then I am sure your initial start will be in 7.5-10k range :D

My PP card started 5k less than any amex I had at the time, and 10k less than the world MC CO as well.

i have had my PPlus a year and 3 months now, and it started at 10k, now up a bit. AMEX cards all over 20k now :eek:

Good news here on renewal front, seems they comped me the annual fee on the PPlus, the CO WMC was $75, so they didn't waive both, but hey I am fine with one fee at $75 :)

The AC in my car does not work. On days like yesterday (I've not been out yet today), I'm tempted to fix it. Then I realize that I don't need AC most of the year as the car just sits in the driveway or at the airport.

Hey Mike, I found the carrier in FS2004. It is, as the Microsoft KB article noted, due west of SFO. Trying to land an unloaded 737-800 is not advisable. ;)

For those who carry balances (e.g. not me) - most cards require you to pay the entire balance over the "limit" instead of a minimum payment.

If CO would comp my PPlus fee, I would carry that card.

I forgot -- you have to wait until the physical card arrives to use it, unless you're charging CO flights (it should be listed on your CO OP profile, already). Alternatively, if you already have a Chase cc on-line profile -- it 'might' be there & list the credit limit. Will the pro-rated PC refund be sent to you via check?

I will check my profile.

I am not sure how they send the refund, but I would assume it's a check

See your Facebook comments. I know what I'm thinking of was an actual mission in the list of things to do...it was in the same list as the night approach into SFO, the IFR checkride in a 737, etc.

I don't think so, no. I have a lot more control over the 737-800 than I do the Learjet for the simple fact that I have flown it a lot more. With the nose pitched up at 20 degrees and just a hair above stall speed, with maximum autobrake, full flaps, full spoiler, and full thrust reverse, I still slide off the end. It's only a couple of hundred feet long so it's not really a surprise. :)

Morning box. Another long day of meetings before headin' home. @:-)

And yay for US pulling out of the NYC market with Express. Makes my life so much easier in avoiding them. :-:

I checked and the card is listed in my CO profile but not with Chase yet.

If CO would comp my PPlus fee...


Without a doubt, in fact I paid it off, it was an abnormal expense for business that sent me over, got reimbursed on it :)


CO doesn't comp the fees, Chase does ;)
