Success: US Bank Club Carlson Business Credit Card Reconsideration Phone Call Bank Visit

What a crazy journey it has been.  The US Bank Club Carlson Business Credit Card is finally mine!  In case you haven’t been following the journey, here is a recap of events:

App-O-Rama Results – June 12, 2014 (link)

I received a pending application status.  I called the automated line and was told it would take 24-48 hours for a decision to be made.  I found a number for the credit analyst department and was told the same thing, so I will just have to patiently wait to see what happens.

World’s longest blog post title. Check.

Greetings from California, I am back from my trip but still feeling the jet-lag.  I’ve been up since 3:30am PST this morning.  Let me get this post out before I fall asleep…

After returning home, I received a few targeted credit card offers worth mentioning.  The first doesn’t seem to be targeted as there is no sign up link, but if you have an AMEX Serve Card, you can get a $50 statement credit after having 2 direct deposits of $250 or more post to your AMEX Serve account by July 31.

Club Carlson Flash Sale: Buy Radisson Blu Stays for ~$100 (24 Hour Promo)

Club Carlson is currently running a 24 hour sale for purchasing Club Carlson Points.  The Flash Sale began on June 23 at 9:00AM EST and will end on June 24 at 8:59AM EST.  During this period, you get a 75% bonus on the number of Club Carlson Points you purchase.  Here is the link to the promo page.

Warning: Do not buy Club Carlson Points if you do not intend to use them in the next few months.  It is not smart to stock pile points, even if they are a really good deal.  Do you remember when Hilton devalued their award chart overnight, making some award stays more than twice as expensive.

With that said, you can purchase up to 40,000 Club Carlson Points per account, per year.

Crazy Weekend: UCLA Graduation, San Diego Wedding, LAX Flight, and My Credit Card App-O-Rama Updates

TGI Friday everyone!  This might be my last post for a few days, but I will still be able to answer comments with the WordPress iPhone app.  Here is my schedule this weekend:

  1. Friday Night – My younger brother’s UCLA graduation
  2. Saturday Afternoon – My older brother’s wedding in San Diego
  3. Sunday Night – Family vacation from LAX to Spain/France for 2 weeks

My dad scored 4 award seats 11 months ago for LAX-DUS-BCN on Air Berlin (economy baby, woo hoo!) returning on 4 separate awards seats from MAD-FRA-LAX on Lufthansa (economy again!)  We are doing a big road trip from Barcelona up to Carcassonne, France west to San Sebastián, and down to Madrid.  I imagine some epic World Cup viewing parties in my future.

App-O-Rama Update: 4 Approvals, 2 Recon Calls, 1 Pending Application, and a Barclays Denial

Which Credit Card

App-O-Rama Update: 4 Approvals, 2 Recon Calls, 1 Pending Application, and a Barclays Denial

Advice: you do not need to apply for 6 credit cards at one time.  You should only attempt this if your credit score is high and you have the ability to Manufacture Spend $5,000-$10,000 per month.  Please proceed at your own risk/skill level.

In a nutshell, this is what happened yesterday morning when I applied for 6 cards.

  1. Barclays Arrival Plus Credit Card – automatically denied :(
  2. Citi American Airlines Executive World MasterCard – recon call approved, $5,000 credit line + $4,500 moved from Citi Dividend Credit Card.
  3. AMEX Premier Rewards Gold Charge Card – automatically approved (charge card, no preset credit limit).
  4. Chase Southwest Airlines Rapid Rewards Plus Credit Card – recon call approved, $2,000 credit line.
  5. US Bank Club Carlson Business Credit Card – pending, must wait 24-48 hours for results.
  6. Bank of America Alaska Airlines Visa Signature Credit Card – automatically approved, but for a Platinum Plus credit card with a $2,000 credit line.

Here are more details about each application and approval/denial process…  Continue reading →
