The 524 Rule comes out in the open, an excellent interview of Hyatt’s CEO on Loyalty, a good Cuba Travel Guide, we travel to Latvia’s Skrunda, etc.

You know it is not good for the viability of the hobby when the famous 5/24 rule makes it to the front page of Yahoo Finance! I really liked the days when we lived in total obscurity…
It’s back for the regular 50k Southwest points. It always…comes back!
I slotted this in very early in the morning yesterday. I knew it was going to be talked about in the commercial blogs. I guess I could do the same but not going to bug you during the day. Once a day is enough, thanks for understanding! Hyatt CEO Q&A: Bigger isn’t (Always) Better and Loyalty is More Than Points. This is some excellent stuff by Hyatt’s CEO, I was impressed! Must read imho.
So I hear Delta Airlines is eliminating the $25 “direct ticketing” fee. Oh oh, these guys just don’t do isolated moves like that. Prepare for a major hit…again, this is the way they operate!
How to get FICO Scores from the major banks. Excellent comprehensive post if you care about the subject. I don’t, been in the 800’s for ever 🙂
This is hilarious, United CEO’s on The Points Guy paying $10,000 for a credit card. Lol and sad at the same time, priceless!
Guide for traveling to Cuba as an American.
Judge addressing troubled teens. Loved it! “Be something!”
Your personal finance fix of the day: “Performance vs. Outcomes“. Wow. Must read. I am famous for getting it right every single time when I am asked what the market will do. My response: “It will fluctuate”. High five!
Abandoned Soviet military town of Skrunda-1 in Latvia.
And I leave you with this…

First.
Always the bridesmaid here…
I remember TPGs post on Centurion. It was frankly amazing how he managed not to say at any point “WHAT THE HELL WOULD YOU BE THINKING” to anyone dumb enough to have that card. “But the benefits…”
If money is so little object that the $10k seemed like a reasonable idea, you probably don’t need credit card benefits in the first place.
Third. I liked the T&L article of TPG unboxing the Centurion! So far all the Elite status benefits he mentioned are received or can be earned with other credit cards.
Friday.
And this is why 5/24 is here to stay.
“Credit Karma, which has over 50 million users nationwide, looked at their data for Yahoo Finance. Of members who have logged in recently to check their credit reports, only about 4% opened five or more lines of credit in the last two years.”
Happy Friday!
So, I went on an Amazon shopping spree last night, enjoy your beer. This morning, I got at least one application through with your link (Alaska), I wish I would do more, but your Citi application links all have 24 month language, I do not like that language, so I apply through other sources (i.e. citi targeted links, their T&Cs are still as if we are in 2014 wow! 🙂 ). So hopefully that BofA application gets approved and you have a lunch as well.
Have a good weekend.
Cheers,

I only get the double cash offer at Citi’s pre-qualified page. Where else can one find or become targeted?
Here is Citi’s pre-qualified offers page:

I never get any love from Citi on these offers. Anyone know how to improve on that?
On the other side, 18 year old son and 13 year old daughter have been getting snail mail offers every other day it appears 🙂
Just got a targeted offer from SPG, “1 eligible stays between 2016-04-01 and 2016-06-30 to earn Gold status through February 2018”
