Yes sir. Just recently got two lower tier chase cards to upgrade to the CSR once I’m in the Navy. Definitely plan on getting a few Amex cards once I’m in.
I wouldn’t upgrade/product change to the CSR. you’d be missing out on that signup bonus. Keeping the CFU, CFF, and a sapphire card is a good lineup though. That’s what I’m using right now. I think I’m done churning for the foreseeable future, but the venture X does look promising.
Not all companies will waive annual fees and such. The SCRA mostly covers accounts prior to military service. There are various state laws out there that can also affect policies.
I’m bout to get that next. Waiting on a good promotion. I got the venture x currently
Let me know if you want a referral link when that happens. ?
Yeah definitely gonna wait to get the sign up bonus then upgrade the cards once I already have a CSR.
In the Navy we don't call it body fat, we call it buoyancy
Damn straight
I will frfr
The delay in flight school is a separate issue, they need to commission X amount per FY, you might sit around for months but the YG numbers would still be where they want them.
The divide evenly over the boards for the goal, there are a few minor changes that can happen such as if a board underselects, but the goal is to have consistent numbers when they can.
I don't like this layout, but the goal is how many they need to have Pro Y for the FY but remember they always go over what they really need, that is why when you look at shipped and need to ship those equal 321 which is what you see under "goal" so you can see the Pro Y goal is about 140% of shipping goal. There are 248 left to ship in FY24, if I am remembering the terminology correctly as some of this looks a bit different than the layout I am used to, the ones waiting to go to OCS would be Pro Y, booked, need to book and not booked which total 327, which may or may not include this board as it depends when this was updated. When the numbers come out from this recent board you can confirm one way or another. There are still a lot of people waiting to go to OCS for FY 24 considering where we are sitting in the year.
I put myself as the Amex coordinator on the unofficial 1301 when it was going into routing once, admin didn’t find it as funny as I did
Funny you should mention that because I've actually been on a personal finance binge recently. I had no idea some cards waive annual fees for military members. In that case, Amex and Gold and Platinum will be easy no brainers.
Yes sir, no reason not to get those. Then after a year, you can upgrade your gold to another platinum, then apply for another gold. Rinse and repeat until you have a ton of platinum cards and then you have a crazy amount of benefits to use monthly/yearly. Like the Uber, hotel, airline credits, etc.
