Hey -- if you open a Chase business checking account to get the 25k OnePass miles do you really have to also get the $65 debit card?

Yes and the minimum to open with is $500.

Thanks! I knew about the $500. That's not an issue. I don't have to part with that permanently.

I'm more of a bourbon man myself.

Good morning Box. At LAS on way to BNA.

How long in BNA (or are you just transiting)?

As am I. I think I was one of the few bourbon drinkers during DO IV, where we did not meet, somehow. I didn't meet xyzzy either, so I suppose that's why I need to go to more DOs. :)

Unfortunately, yes! I begged, pleaded, cajoled, batted my eyelashes, the whole nine yards when I opened my biz account - but, no luck. Still had to pay the $65!

And, if I'd waited a couple of weeks, I could have done it after I registered for the mileathon - darn it! Oh well!

WWTBD??
 
What would Teh Box do???

Going to be in Calabasas from 9/10 - 9/13 with Ms. GadFly.....I already used Marriott points to stay near SNA the night of 9/13, used National points to get a free car, and used a bump voucher for the flight. So staying in Calabasas, would you take your last 30K Priority Club points and use them + $60 a night for a Staybridge Suites or use 45K more Marriott points and $0 for the TownePlace Suites?

Keep in mind that I don't stay in Priority Club hotels and would be emptying a useles accound and I am Plat with Marriot with 700K+ points.

Opinions???

Yes; after you have played the game once and learned the opening strategies and early expansion strategies, it really is only a question of whether you want to spend the time to take a shot at the top position.

I had no problems getting in there a few weeks ago without a DL boarding pass. Technically, they are supposed to ask for a boarding pass a DL Clubs when using a P Club membership for entry, but many lounges do not bother. DCA seems to be a bit more strict about it, but I never have had any problems getting in without a DL boarding pass.

Also, you are talking about the SkyClub in B (old CRC), not the WorldClub in A, correct?

once you are billions ahead, be leery of purchasing dozens of widebodies and doing nothing with them, it will equalize you after a 'year' idle :D

What is your airline name in v2? Are you the one who ended up taking over my abandoned DCA base?

With that many Marriott points on hand, I'd do 60,000 points for the Renaissance Agoura Hills.
