Going for the wicked Double-Chase-card-combo

I'm looking to get the Chase Sapphire Preferred card sometime in the next couple of months for gathering travel miles but I am unimpressed with the 2x points only on travel/dining. Chase Freedom is a great combination to have with CSP (5x points on rotating categories including groceries/gas/amazon) since points can be transferred to CSP which, in turn, can be converted to frequent flier miles on a 1:1 ratio. This, obviously, can translate into big returns for travel. I'd prefer to get both cards all in one shot and just take the big hits to my credit now. After that, I'd just garden for a couple of years before going for anything else. Quick credit overview: FICO sits at around 735Utilization always <10% (now it's sitting at 3%)Good income-to-expense ratio (< 30%)Only 1 credit card @ $7500 limit2 inquiries within 12 months... 4 inquiries within 24 monthsAAoA 4.75 yrs with oldest account at 13.5 yearsNo baddies on any of the 3 CRs Has anyone tried doing this (2 cards at one time)? Any success stories? Any advice for moving forward with this?

Hmm... is that 5 new credit card accounts or 5 new accounts in general? I looked it up and the purpose of this policy is to prevent card churn that has gained steam in the last few years. It would really suck if they held ALL new accounts to this standard. I only have 1 credit card and no plans to "churn" but my 3 student loans all began reporting 3 years ago, I got my only card 2 years ago, and we bought a house last year. That makes 5 and it would really suck to have to wait 2 years to get the CSP. EDIT: I have read that it is 2 years not 5 years. In that case, I will (hopefully) be good to go.Rejecting for 4 accounts in under 2 years. I won't be eligible for CSP until next February (if I chose to get it) because of this new rule. Be patient. Thanks for the advice. But in the last 2 years, I only have opened 2 new accounts and I don't see a reason to wait any longer for the CSP. By the time I apply in Sept, my score should be sitting around 740-750. We need to start gathering points up for the European trip we want to take in 4 years

  • Hi, I am going to buy a new iMac desktop. I am going for the 3.4GHz Quad-Core Intel i7, 16 GB RAM and 2TB ATA Drive. I want to know whether I should go for the dual drives option i.e including the 256 GB SSD. I do a lot of 'heavy' media work. Brian

    by looking at the specs the laptop is better but if your not a gamer or graphics designer  then you most likly wont notice a difference in the performance at all so with that said a few downsides
    the processor is i5 the i7 processor is the better processor the graphics card has half the dedicated memory that the laptop has and the hdd compared to the solid state is not much of a difference unless you wanna move your computer all the time you wont need a solid state drive
    but like i said before if your not a gamer or graphics designer on your computer you will not notice the difference most likely

  • I owe 27 dollars on itunes and i got a 25 dollar itunes card if i were to update my account with my new credit card would the 27 dollars be deducted from my credit card or would the itunes gift card pay for the 25 and my card would pay for the $2 left.

    Generaly, if you have an iTunes card and a valid credit card, you have the option of charging your purchases to eiher one or the other?  By default, it goes to your iTunes card, but you can override that.

  • Drivers for the sunfire v20z network card.

    does any one know were i could find the drivers for the sunfire v20z network card. and does anyone know the chipset of the card?

    That's a software question.
    This is a hardware forum.
    You didn't specify, but I'll presume you are not talking about any add-on card.
    The necessary software packages for the onboard
    broadcom BCM5703 gigabit (bge) circuitry are native to Solaris x86 (4/04 and newer).
    Therefore they'll be on your OS installation CD's.
    Just install the OS and rock-n-roll.

  • What temperatures are acceptable for the CPU and Graphics card?

    I have Intel Xeon X5400 series CPUs and a Nvidia graphics card.  
    It is interesting to monitor the temperatures but only if you know what temps matter...
    What temperatures are acceptable for the CPU and Graphics card? 
    I was not sure if this is the document of choice for the CPU or not. I was not sure I was decifering it correctly either. 
    http://download.intel.com/design/xeon/datashts/318589.pdf
    Any one know what we should be watching for as far as what is too hot? 
    I have a ThinkStation D10.
    Did not see this in the user manual but could have missed it. 

    I found my specs:
    Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU           E5405  @ 2.00GHz
    You are correct. An E series. 
    I was so focused on the upgrade to the X5420 that I forgot what the system came with. 
    So what should I set my sensor high value to on my sensor program that shows up on the panel (taskbar)?
    For the E5405 or the X5420? 
    SIDE NOTE: where can I get 2 E5420s or better cheap? 
    Not ready to give up my filters just yet. I live in a dust factory! 
    My girl friend sews really nice bags but creates sewing dust and fuzz. 
    And well there are natural fibers everywhere...
    So other than the the X5492 (150watts),  the X5482, X5472,  X5470, X5460, X5450 are all 120 watts.
    Like the bulk of the X series...
    The E5405, E5410, E5450, E5440, E5420, E5430, E5470, E5462, E5472 are all 80 watts.
    The L series seems to all be 50 Watts.  
     For many the other Processors see this:

  • Time Card in going for the second approval

    our requirement is to send time card for manager approval after supervisor's approval . but when ever supervisor approved time card instead of going for concerend manager approval status change to approved from submited. if we change the precedance order then instead of going for supervisor it goes directly to concerned manager.
    We create one approval style to get approval from the supervisor and one approval style each department where we defined the concerned manager name with the application is payroll in all the case.

    try the following:
    Define an empty Time category and select Dummy Element context - without any element name - it will include all elements.
    As Approval style, choose Entry level approvals as the approval mechanism.
    Press Entry Level approval fragments button. enter the following
    Row1=> Your time category - HR Supervisor - 1 (seq)

  • Trying to decide if I should apply for the Citi Double Cash

    I have a ton of inquiries.  Wanting to garden, but I want to try.  Just approved for a Venture for $5k a few days ago.  CLI with Citi AAdvantage yesterday.  Denied for both Delta Exp and Amex.  Denied for even a Macys CLI even though that's just a soft pull.  I think the Delta wasn't even a pull because when I went to check on the status, it was "canceled" instead of denied - may have been because I applied for the Amex the day prior. Really wanting that Citi Double.  I know, I'm an addict now.

    Citi likes to pull EQ and EX, which are your lowest scores respectively.  That, coupled with your INQ's, probably won't bode well for your recon. I wouldn't apply for DC again until you see that you're prequalified online for it (where you are given a specific APR range).  Cold apping for it is risky, especially if you have a lot of INQ's.  The DC is probably Citi's toughest card to get given its UW requirements.  Sorry to hear about the decline.

  • I am looking for pre-NI-DAQ drivers for the NI 455x DSA cards.

    I have inherited an older piece of production equipment, and I need to find the older drivers for the NI455x DSA card. Is there an archive directory that contains the install information for the NIDSA fp's, dll's, etc.

    The NI 445x DSA cards are supported by the NI-DAQ 6.9.1 driver currently available on the web at www.ni.com and follow the downloads link. You will also want to use the NI-DSA driver to program the NI-445x board which is also available at the download site.
    Some older drivers are available at the download site by choosing all Drivers instead of current.

  • Bought the Galaxy S4 at Full Price, But Not Eligible for the $50.00 Rebate Card. Sound Fair?

    Recently bought the Galaxy S4 for the full retail price and afterward come to find out the rebate offer of $50.00 is only good for subsidized phone purchases. How is this fair when I paid full freight? The offer should have been for either type purchase.
    What gives, Verizon? Only care about getting those 2 year contracts extended???

    I just looked, the rebate is clearly posted for 2 yr contracts only.
    If you switch the screen to Month to Month the rebate is gone.
    But even on the two year contract screen this is shown.
    Full Retail Price $649.99
    2-Year Contract  $249.99
    Online Discount -$50.00
    PRICE with 2-Year contract  $199.99
    You are not going to be able to keep your unlimited data (if that is why you purchased at full price) if you receive any discount.

  • Where are the settings for the internal Airport Extreme Card?

    Here is my problem.
    I have a Xbox Slim. It was connected wirelessly to my old Mac computer which had a external Airport Extreme b/g. Connection worked perfectly and had no issues.
    I bought a new computer a iMac with OS X 10.6.7. It comes with a built in Airport Extreme Card that has wireless connection for b/g/n.
    I set up my wireless connection on my new computer. We have two iphones and they both connect to the new wireless network with no problems.
    When I go to connect my xbox slim it asks me for WEP, which I enter, but when I go to test connection I get a error message. The connection fails between the xbox and my network. Says unable to connect and then gives me a bunch of troubleshooting messages which none seem to work.
    Under the IP Settings is says Automatic and has a IP address listed and a Subnet Listed. The Gateway is all zeros.
    When I go into the Airport settings the DHCP is turned on.
    Now I know my next option is enter the numbers manually which I have tried several times. I don't really know if I'm getting the right numbers or not because its a new iMac and everywhere I search people are getting the IP addresses, router numbers, etc. from PC's or from external routers. I need to get mine from the internal Airport Extreme Card.
    I have also read posts for setting your options for Mac Filtering. But I don't know where to adjust these. I don't see any options for configuration for a internal Airport Card.
    Where do I adjust the settings for Mac Filtering, Signal Strength, b/g/n, etc?
    I know my Xbox's connection is fine because I plug in my old Airport Extreme and it connects just fine. But I don't want to use my old wireless router. I would like to just use the connection that is built into my iMac because it has the 'n' network. Is that even possible?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    there aren't any.
    check out [this|http://discussions.info.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=3797169] discussion. it is rather old but the facts remain unchanged.
    you might want to have another look @ your airport extreme or get a newer, [refurbished_|http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/specialdeals/mac/macaccessories?mco=MjEwNzM3NjE] extreme (there currently aren't any) or time capsule. these base station are *simultaneous dual-band* capable, meaning they broadcast on both the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands @ the same time.

  • I lost my bookmark list where the dropdown doesnt work. Same goes for the webpage address tab where it just does not save. When I try to bookmark a new page after clicking "Bookmark this page", there was no response too. Can someone please help me???

    It was still functioning last night and before I close the firefox window, the problem started. The problem persist until now.
    1. Bookmark - tried to check the "help" list for lost bookmark but none of them seems to suit the problem i'm facing. The menu tab is there, but when i click on "Bookmarks", my previous bookmark list is not there. When I try to bookmark a new page, there is no window popping up (usually there is a small window pop-up to ask for the label of the website to be bookmarked).
    2. The website address tab - usually we have a list of website that we usually visit so we just need to click on the arrow and click on the webpage that we want to visit. But now, I have to type the website address every single time. There is no drop down when i click on the arrow.
    Can someone tell me what is wrong with it and please help me to solve this problem. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!

    This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

  • Can we have more than One DC for the sales organization and Plant combo?

    Can we have more than One DC for the sales organization and Plant combination?
    If yes can you please site a practical example to clear the picture

    Hi
    First of all in SAP sales orgs are assigned to distribution channels and the combination of sales org and distribution channel which is called distribution chain is assigned to plant
    There is  no direct link  between sales org  and plant or distribution channel and plant
    So  sales org  and plant combination doesnot exists and
    it is only sales org and dist channel combination which is  called as distribution chain only exists
    Nowhere in SAP we are assigning sales org to plant
    It is because sales org alone doesnot make sense and its combination with dist channel only makes sense
    because sales org is a selling org and the distribution channel is the route to sell and this combination has only to pick the material from plant to process sales to customers
    The relation between sales org and distribution channels is many to many and also vice versa
    Multiple sales orgs can be assigned to one distribution channel and
    Multiple distribution channels  can be assigned to one sales org
    Similarly the relation ship between Distribution chain (sales org+dist channel) to plant is also many to many and vice versa
    Similarly plants from other company codes can also be assigned to Distribution chain to facilitate intercompany processes
    In whatever way look at it the multiple distribution channels can be fit anywhere

  • System Requirements for the MacOSX 10.4.4 Combo Update?

    Hello,
    on
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosxupdate1044combo.html
    I read
    System Requirements
    — Mac OS X
    — version 10.4, 10.4.1 or 10.4.2
    I am using MacOSX 10.4.3.
    Can I install this ComboUpdate?
    Thanks for answers.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Yes you can. I would though first:
    1. Backup your data.
    2. Repair permissions with Applications -> Utilities -> Disk Utility
    3. Make sure all software and drivers you have are known to be 10.4.4 compatible.
    4. Make sure the system is functioning properly before updating.
    5. (dismount if necessary) and disconnect third party peripherals
    6. Try the delta update first. If the delta update for some reason doesn't work, try the combo update.
    If neither works, come back here, and we'll help you.

    You can check in iTunes.  Launch iTunes on your computer, click on iTunes Store on the left sidebar, then click on you Apple ID on the top right (just under the search box).  In the box that opens enter your password and press View Account.  In the window that opens, under the Apple ID Summary look for "Apple ID Balance:"  This is where your balance would be if you have any.  When you're done press Done on the bottom right.  At least that's how it works from the U.S.
