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 articles and information in our recurring threads are basically an abstracted version of all the DPs collected by the community at large. If you have an DP about a credit card, like a retention offer or recon experience, please post it here. If you have a DP about a bank bonus, please post it in the newest bank bonus thread (If that link doesn't work for you for whatever reason, either click on the "bank bonus" link in the sidebar or on new reddit, search for "bank bonus weekly" while limiting your search to this subreddit.

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
• https://bankrewards.io/
• Terms and Conditions of the offer
• What to know about closing bank accounts

​

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

​

• Seriously, 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.

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.

Let all your frustrations go here in this thread!

Per an email and an official announcement on the Miles4Migrants website, Miles4Migrants is winding down operations at the end of this month.

A MESSAGE FROM Miles4Migrants

It is with a mix of pride and heavy hearts that we share the news that Miles4Migrants will be winding down operations at the end of the month. This decision was not made lightly, and we are profoundly grateful for the community of supporters like you who made our mission possible.

From our very first flight, when co-founder Nick Ruiz used his own miles to reunite a family, our mission has remained steadfast: to transform lives by reuniting loved ones in safety. Together, we have achieved incredible milestones:

Flown over 44,000 individuals, representing more than 17,000 families, to safety and new beginnings.

Assisted individuals from 104 countries across the globe.

Redeemed donated miles and dollars to book flights valued at over $16.5 million.

Partnered with over 70 NGOs to identify and support cases in need.

Your generosity has shone brightly through programs like:

The Afghan Evacuation Project: Flying more than 23,000 Afghans to safety in the United States.

The Ukraine2Canada Initiative: Supporting over 5,000 Ukrainians fleeing conflict to find safety in Canada.

Flying people to safety requires much more cash than it once did, thanks especially to the increase in taxes and fees for long-haul travel. Unfortunately we have not been able to sustainably raise enough cash to complement the points & miles donations. As we’ve swallowed that hard reality and thoughtfully determined how to wind down, we’ve realized now is the right time. Since our inception, the vast majority of the 44,000 individuals we’ve flown have landed in the US. As welcoming these families in the US becomes operationally more challenging, this becomes the moment to cease operations.

As we prepare to close this chapter, we want to share a few important details:

If you have set up recurring donations, we are working to turn those off. If you see any additional charges, please reach out to us at wecare@miles4migrants.org.

For any miles or vouchers you have pledged, we will not be able to use them moving forward. You are welcome to reallocate or use them as you see fit.

For any miles donated through an airline website via a pooled account, thankfully we have been able to utilize the vast majority of these donations.

While our journey as an organization is ending, the legacy of our work will live on in the lives we have touched. Families reunited, futures rebuilt, and hope restored—these outcomes are the true measure of what we have accomplished together.

Thank you for being an integral part of the Miles4Migrants journey. Together, we have shown the power of compassion and community to change lives.

Very sad to see such an important organization shut down at a moment when it is needed the most.
