There wasn’t much going on for us in the miles and points space during July. We did take an amazing camping trip to Chatfield State Park outside of Denver and Cheyenne Mountain State Park outside of Colorado Springs. 2 weeks of hiking, white-water rafting and breweries was just what I needed. I will talk about that in greater detail in other, non-points related, posts.
I did want to point out a couple of things if you are trying to follow along on these point checks. First, I’m rounding and so at some point the math probably won’t quite add up correctly. Secondly, spending from one month to another can be extremely variable on this. The reason is that I’m going off of the statements that end during the month that I’m posting about. Some credit cards have statements that post at the beginning of the month and some at the end, and with us constantly changing credit cards that’s going to make our spending look erratic. This month is a good example, as the total spending is only $3,100 and last month was $4,800. That is mostly a factor of me switching a lot of our spending to the Hyatt Card which has an earlier closing date.
Anyway, on the point check!
I spent almost $1,700 on my Citi card earning me almost 2,600 Citi points. I spent $1,100 on my Chase World of Hyatt Card earning 2,200 points. Jenn spent around $300 on her Chase United Business card and earned around 400 points.
That left us with about 245,900 United miles, 60,600 Citi points, and 3,300 Hyatt points
