I didn't see much discussion on the companion ticket benefit. Often these types of certificates are pretty worthless since they require higher fare classes for the paying traveler to qualify for the free companion ticket, but this one really seems to apply to any fare code in economy. It seems to be that this could be a pretty valuable benefit also, or am I missing something, capacity controls for the free ticket maybe?
Sure, I'd rather travel in E+ on United, but if we can essentially get a 50% discount on one trip per year to Europe for the two of us on LH, this might be worth considering.

Clarified the 0%APR on balance transfers - it is only for the first billing cycles from the opening of the card NOT the first 6 billing cycles from the time of the balance transfers.

Got the letter yesterday. They want proof of 'permanent residence' or US citizenship mailed to them. The credit check they do is with transunion, BTW.

On a related point, I recently subscribed for a trial period for myFICO which provides a Credit Score watch. So today I was notified that a new account was added to my credit report (Juniper). At the same time my Credit Score jumped UP by 10 points.

Wow! I just checked my score, but no change the worse so far. Let's what happens when the October score becomes available. I'm usually somewhere between 780 and 800.
