This is the Weekly Data Points Central thread

​

In this little hobby of ours, we constantly rely on sharing the experiences and data points by others to optimize our award earning process. From how often you can apply for a card or bank account, to how soon a bank pays out the bonus. All the sidebar article and information is basically an abstracted version of all the DPs collected by the community at large.

​

Right now, this thread is purposefully unstructured. If you believe you have a DP that is useful, post it here. If you need to find out more data, post the question here, and maybe someone can share what they experienced. We hope that as more and more data is collected, someone smart can figure out a way to categorize it automatically without manual work.

Enjoy!

Welcome to the What Card Should I Get Weekly Thread, where we try to figure out what card you should get or critique your current plans or AOR if you're doing it that way). Everything is YMMV and these are all opinions. Agree or disagree with your votes. As always read the wiki, do your research, and happy churning.

Also, check out the Credit Card Recommendation Flowchart before posting in this thread.

1. The flowchart can answer 95% of all "What card should I get?" questions. By continuing to post, you must explain why you feel the flowchart does not answer your question. Asking for feedback ("The flowchart says I should get X - is that still the best choice?") is absolutely allowed.
2. What is your credit score?
3. What cards do you currently have or have you had in the past (including closed cards), along with dates of when you were approved for the cards? Please include month and year for any card approved in the last 3 years.
4. How much natural spend can you put on a new card(s) in 3 months?
5. Are you willing to MS, and if so, how much in 3 months? See this page for a primer on MS. Plastiq (for rent/mortgage/loan payments) and bank account funding are often good options for beginners.
6. Are you open to applying for business cards? If not, why? See this post and this wiki question to learn more.
7. How many new cards are you interested in getting? Are you interested in getting into churning regularly (if you aren't already)? Or are you just looking to get a new card(s) for now but not get into churning long-term?
8. Are you targeting points, Companion Passes, hotel or airline statuses, First Class, Biz, Economy seating(s) or cash back?
9. What point/miles do you currently have?
10. What is the airport you're flying out of?
11. Where would you like to go? (The more specific you are, the better someone can recommend the right card. Tokyo is great, "International travel" is way too vague)

This is the Weekly Bank Account Bonus Thread. Use it for anything related to bank accounts and bonuses, such as:

​

* Churning mechanisms (DD, etc)

* Data points (did bank X bonus arrive)

* Other bank account discussions/questions

​

​

Before asking a question, first search:

​

* The search engine

* DoC's Bank Bonus section

* bankrewards.io

* Terms and Conditions of the offer

​

You can also call the bank with questions, but only if you are precisely following the T&C. Otherwise, don’t call the bank!

​

Also: The mod team is aware that there are bank bonuses that either require a referral or have elevated bonuses when using a referral. Examples would be Schwab and Varo. Do not ask for referrals in this thread - if you want/need a referral for one of those accounts, please check the "Miscellaneous Referrals" thread on r/churningreferrals. Posting or soliciting referral links for those accounts will result in being banned from this sub.

​

Please post new bank churning opportunities as top level posts for wider visibility.

Where: the brig

When: Saturday, April 27 from 12pm to 3pm

Hope to see you all there! Last time we had a great turnout! Feel free to PM me with any questions. I will update this OP with our exact location at around 12pm.

We also have a local DC Facebook group - please PM me if you're interested in joining and are local to DC.

Cheers

This is the Weekly Off-Topic thread

​

There's more to this hobby than just credit cards - it spreads out into travel aspirations, what luggage or wallet you're using, or what flavor kombucha your local WeWork is serving. Please use this thread to talk about all things even tangentially related to churning. Memes, jokes, and off-topic content are allowed (and encouraged) here. Please use our regular threads to ask basic questions, ask questions about what card to get, or talk about MS. But if it's off-topic elsewhere, you're on-topic here.

Regular rules still apply.

Have fun!

​

Note: Posting and soliciting referrals are still not allowed.
