Calling Chase Sapphire Preferred Customer Service about Chase Ritz-Carlton Credit Card Sunday Delivery

Good Sunday afternoon everyone, I just found out that my Chase Ritz-Carlton Credit Card is scheduled for delivery today via UPS Next Day Air.  I am so excited!  Here is how I found out…

My Chase online account does not show any new Chase credit cards.  I’ve checked several times since I was approved on Monday afternoon (link), but still the card has not shown up online.  One of my favorite tricks for Chase customer service is to call the Chase Sapphire Preferred department (800-493-3319).  I used to have a Chase Sapphire Preferred which I downgraded to a Chase Sapphire which I then converted to a Chase Freedom.  Anyway, if you call that number, they will answer in 10-20 seconds and be able to help you with any Chase account questions.

I called that number this morning and asked if they had any information regarding my Chase Ritz-Carlton Credit Card.  The very nice representative said that there were 2 UPS tracking numbers in the notes section linked to the Chase Ritz-Carlton Credit Card.  She said the 2 packages were sent out on Friday, December 19.  I plugged both tracking numbers into the UPS website and was able to see the tracking information.

According to UPS’s website, both packages are scheduled for early delivery today (ahead of tomorrow’s original scheduled delivery date).  I am writing this post and eagerly waiting for the UPS driver to knock on the front door.  Instead of Santa Claus bringing me presents, I have the UPS driver bringing me packages :)

Do you Still Receive Chase Paper Statements even After Enrolling in Paperless Statements? I Found the Solution!

Do you Still Receive Chase Paper Statements even After Enrolling in Paperless Statements?  I Found the Solution!

There is no doubt in my mind that Chase is the best credit card company out there (some may disagree with me, but you’re wrong).  With that said, I currently have 2 business cards (bold and plus) and 7 personal credit cards with Chase.  Almost all of my Chase personal credit cards have a credit line of $5,000.  Chase must give you a minimum of $5,000 credit line to be approved for their premier travel credit cards (they say Visa Signature below the Visa logo).  You might not know that after you open a Chase personal credit card with a $5,000 credit line, you can actually move your credit line around and lower your limit to less than $5,000.  This is great for freeing up some available credit for new Chase credit cards and moving credit from cards that do not get much spending (Marriott, IHG, Southwest Plus, Southwest Premier, and United to name a few) to cards that you use more heavily.  You can move credit by calling the number on the back of any Chase credit card or by sending Chase a Secure Message (SM).  Anyway, that is not the point of this post, but maybe that will help some people.  The point of this post is to explain why I was still receiving Chase Ink Bold paper statements in the mail even after enrolling in paperless statements.

Southwest Airlines Companion Pass – Part 3: Hyatt Points and E-Rewards Transfers

Southwest Airlines Companion Pass – Part 3: Hyatt Points and E-Rewards Transfers

Good evening everyone, this is part 3 of my Southwest Airlines Companion Pass series.

This post is probably several weeks overdue, but better late than never.  I was waiting for miles and points to transfer and post, then I had to follow up with Southwest Airlines and Hyatt over some issues, and eventually this post got pushed off #backblogged.

Before I get deeper into this post, I have a personal gripe with my Chase Hyatt Credit Card.  This credit card is the only travel credit card (that I know of) where points are deducted from your account if you return something or get a refund to your credit card.  Recently, I canceled an airline ticket that I purchased on my Chase Hyatt Credit Card and the Hyatt Points were removed from my Hyatt account.  Most other travel credit cards will not touch your miles/points if you return an item or get a refund, you will just end up with a positive balance on your credit card.

Because of this “feature” of the Chase Hyatt Credit Card, I mis-spent on my Chase Hyatt Credit Card in terms of earning Hyatt Points.  Oh well, live and learn I guess.

Transfer Chase Ultimate Reward Points from the Chase App

Chase recently updated their smartphone app for iOS and Android with the ability to transfer Chase Ultimate Reward Points to their travel partners.  I will show you how I recently transferred Chase Ultimate Reward Points to Southwest Airlines on my iPhone.  The process should work the same on an Android phone.  You can follow these steps to transfer Chase Ultimate Reward Points to any of their travel partners.  Without further ado, download the Chase app to your smartphone and log into your Chase account.
