I'm about to get married and have spent the last 6 months putting myself in a good financial situation for an AoR before the wedding/honeymoon.

What are the best cards to app right now to get bonus offers. I dont need to use these bonuses on the honeymoon (already paid for with previous miles), I am just looking to take advantage of all our spend!

I know I want to go after the following:
Barclay Arrival+
CSP
US Airways (got targeted 50k offer) (Barclay card may be able to app for 1 only?)
Citi Exec card (if 100k offer exists in 2 weeks)
Amex PRG?

I already have Freedom & Citi AA

Any additional suggestions? My scores are right above 700. Solid history, PIF monthly on all cards. Feel free to link recent threads, as I am sure there are a few that I missed in the search option.

What level of spend are you talking about ($2K, $10K, $25K etc), and in what categories? CSP is a no-brainer (2x dining + travel). What Citi card do you have?

With a score just above 700, and knowing Barclays, you probably won't be able to get both the US Air and Arrival card. What airline are you flying/do you have status?

Spend will be about 60-90k throughout various categories (not getting married in a hotel, so minimal there)

I currently have the Citi AA card (50k offer from 6 months ago). I primarily fly AA, so the US card is one I want to get before they shut that down next year. I suppose that can wait, as I prefer the Arrival+

Just had my sister and fiancee rack up charges for upcoming wedding too. I assume you'll have at least 6 months before finishing up all the charges? Probably can squeeze in two app-o-ramas (or a few Citi Execs)

This is what I had them do on first round:

US Bank Carlson Personal
Us Bank Carlson Business
Chase CSP
Chase Ink 70k coming out?
Citi AA Exec
Amex Plat (look for 100k/10k spend code if possible)
Barclay US Air
BofA Alaska Personal (40k/10k spend version)
BofA Alaska Business

We have 2 months til the wedding and 4 months til the honeymoon. So chances are only 1 AoR. I also dont have a business (I know I dont need one), so I wont be apping for Biz cards.

Then I would try to squeeze in 3 Citi Execs, 2nd and 3rd one being after the AoR with the 8/65 rule.

Ah, well that changes the game a bit. There are a lot of cards that offer perks for spend >$xx,xxx per year. Hilton Surpass gives you Diamond at $40K, there are Travel Companion offers with BA/Southwest, UA gives you 10K extra with $25K spent, etc.

If the AA Exec is still alive, maybe try for 2 of those (day 1, day 8), for $20K of the spend. Not sure if it is, though.

Not sure how much difference this makes, but Inqs in the last 6mos: 1 EQ, 2 TU, 3 EX... all in Feb/early March during last round of apps

I'm in the same boat here on the wedding spend.
To start, I am doing:
1 - Citi AA 100k (10k spend) $495 fee
2 - Chase Ink 50k (5k spend) $0 fee
3 - Chase Ink Plus 70k (5k spend) $95 new promo details here

Looks as though Citi 100k & 75k are gone and dont have much interest in the 60k offer

So I am thinking of going on AoR in the next few days. Here is what I am thinking, in order.

Any chance if I app for Barclay Arrival+ first and the Barclay US Air card (targeted 50k), I will get approved for both? Not sure on Barclays rules, just know they arent a fan of people taking advantage of too many bonus offers.
