					<description><![CDATA[Last.

Last time we broke bread was in Brooklyn. If I recall, you paid! Gasp. Sorry I wasn&#039;t paying close attention to your trip. 

I&#039;ve had the CSR since day 1. If I reading correctly, the card now has food credits as you mentioned above. Is there a minimum spend at the restaurant to get the credit, or can I just spend any amount? 

By the way, will I get a notice when there&#039;s a response?]]></description>

I have not flown EVA yet, my daughter has and she really likes it.

I am anti positioning flights in general. Which makes my award booking targets much harder in a way. I need to really speed it up next, especially the trip to Greece. Oh, threw a business CSR app in late last night, will see what happens. Time to make the donuts, eeer, finish today&#039;s Friday post, gonna be a long one!]]></description>

Have you checked EVA flights from Europe to BKK? They&#039;re a lovely airline and have some nonstops from different European cities. Also, if you can get the space the Qatar A380 in first class between Doha and Bangkok is pretty amazing and is a pretty good price with miles.]]></description>

Thanks for the data points! I think if you went for a personal CSR you would not get anywhere. But your business CSR data points gives me hope.

That is a very healthy spend on Chase cards. I should probably transfer some cash and park it in the Joint Chase checking account but I may not get around to it before applying...

I am still catching up from my NYC trip around here...I need to pull out a superman TBB effort today to publish a blog post tomorrow!

I was going to apply for a Business CSR today and my wife go for a personal CSR but did not get to it, maybe today. I am hopeful for my business CSR and wife&#039;s personal CSR is a long shot. I need to see how far back daughter got the CSP bonus before I decide if she can throw a personal CSR app...If I didn&#039;t have the blog all these would have been done already, sigh.

4 tickets to Greece done. Tickets back from Greece: 0

Son + 1 joining us in Koh Samui at the HR, 3 nights booked for them with my Globalist GofH cert gifted. 
Slowly these two big family trips are coming together. Very slowly. Still no business class availability from Greece and to/from BKK...with reasonable itineraries that is.]]></description>

I closed my old CSP and reapplied a month later. That was about six weeks ago. It took substantial work but I got recon to approve me. I just got my roof redone and paid in part with the new CSP so I should be getting the 100K bonus soon. I think I got it through your links. Never had a CSR.

I&#039;ve accumulated the cards over the past decade or so. I do put $10K+ a month on the cards so I&#039;m spending which should help keep Chase happy.]]></description>

Thank you! 

I coached three friends and they all got the popup. All personal CSR offer, not the Business CSR.

Do you have the CSP open now? If yes, when did u get the bonus?
Have you had the CSR before? If yes, how long ago did u get the bonus? Do you have it open now?

9th business card open rn? 9th over how many years? 

Data points all over the board...Trying to figure out what the rules are post new CSR landscape.

Starting to see YouTubers making stronger efforts to sell channel subscriptions. And soon courses smh. I think Chase may have decided to take all the small and average bloggers out and shot them.]]></description>

Applied for the business card through your link last night even though I&#039;m 5/24. Went pending, no doubt in part because I&#039;m an idiot and forgot to unlock my credit report. Unlocked it shortly thereafter. Approved a few minutes ago. That&#039;s my 9th business card with Chase.]]></description>
