You need to book for yourself and add him by calling the hotel/chain and adding him as a second guest afterwards.

He writes that's there's no NLL in the terms of this offer. Which is correct, but how are people going to get the bonus?

Guess no language but still some sort of detection of your history causing your app to be denied, instead of approving and not honoring or clawing back based on T&C

It's not based on my Social? Is there a way to apply without the message?

Has anyone gotten airline credit from booking on top of a gift card? Is it only travel bank that triggers it? For delta
Booked a month ago on top of gift card and didn’t work but usually when using travel credit it works

They cancel orders if they realize you're doing it for amex credit
Doesn't make any sense but it's happening to me too. Both my plat card and also the card that had the $599/$120 offer.
Common sense is not a gift, it is a punishment.
Because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

Update, I was able to get orders confirmed and shipped to my home via chat.

I have the biz plat.
Thinking of getting the consumer plat or gold purely for the SUB.
Is the 50% bonus via referral  - 150k in 6 month for plat or 90k for gold the best offer available? Which one offers more pure value? I won't be putting much more than the minimum req spend on it

What happens if Plat card is cancelled before the 35% airline rebate posts? Will they still come through?

Is the $179 clear credit a 1 time thing or is it annual?
