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.

Good evening from Washington, DC.  I had a great time at FTU Advanced this weekend at the Hyatt Regency Crystal City hotel.  I appreciate meeting readers and other miles and points addicts over the past few days.  I will be at TravelCon on February 28 (maybe speaking) and attending FTU Advanced in San Diego on March 6-8.  I’m not sure tickets are still for sale, but if you bought one, I look forward to seeing you there.

Anyway, there are 3 new AMEX Offers that showed up in my account.

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.

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.
