2 readers have emailed me that they got 30,000 AMEX MR points after signing up for the AMEX Premier Rewards Gold Charge Card (http://www.dansdeals.com/go/premier25k/) and spending $1,000.
It's only supposed to be 15,000 points
Has this happened to anyone else?

A few friends got invitations in the mail for 50K bonus points for this card. A shame I didnt get one yet....

dan,
I want to get a good card... just not from citi or amex. I dont think they will approve me. any ideas? I am looking for a high credit limit. currently i am at around 12,000 with all my personal cards. another 13,000 on business cards...

I had wanted to open a starwood account and just received the Premier Rewards Gold offer for 50K points. Is it a no brainer to go for the PRG and get the 50K points? Is it a better card? I do see that it's $175 per year vs. $45 per year after the first year. Can I get the points and then cancel before the year is up? Any thoughts?

where did you get the 50,000 MR points offer?

are amex MR points good for anything?

So is it a no brainer to apply? Even at $175 per year? Am I able to cancel before the year is up?

no reason you shouldn't be able to cancel before the year is up. (although, if it's your only MR card, you'll lose the points. you'll need to transfer them out to airlines before you cancel OR open amex blue (no annual fee) to hold the points.
are amex MR points good for anything?
in addition to all other uses, they can be transferred out to airlines. (1:1 on many) (not as many as SPG and without the 25% bonus, but decent nonetheless)
note to both: transferring MR points requires having a amex Gold or higher card.
-
are MR points as reliabe as SPG points? Meaning cant they just devaluate them instantaniosly like citi thank you points did?

Yes, they are a stable currency IMHO. AMEX has too much good will on the line to pull a cheap shot like what Citi did.

Yes, I signed up for this card about two months ago and I have received 30,000 MR points. When I check it out, it shows me that there is a welcome bonus of 15,000 and another 15,000 with FIRST PURCHASE (i did not spend $1000 yet on the card).
Do you think that I will be able to receive an additional 15,000 bonus points once I spend $1000 in three months?
-
Nice!! I just applied with the link Dan gave at the beginning of the thread. I hope it is the same link everyone else used and I get them TOO!!

Thanks!
-
I just signed up. What is strange is that if you pretend to close put the page, a box pops up saying that if you sign up, you will get 10k with the first purchase....and then 15k after spending 30k in 3 months...
The regular app page says its 15k after spending 1k in 3 months...something doesn't make sense

in general are charge cards churnable?

Yes, Amex in my account summary describes the points earned as follows:
15K MR Points w/first purchase
15,000 rewards premier welcome
These points posted within two weeks of card activation.
I just signed up for the card last month and I have since spent more then $1,000. I am waiting to see if I get an additional 15,000 for spending more then $1,000 in the first three months. when I originally signed up. I will post again if this happens. I also have 3 other Amex cards, so if you have other Amex reward cards don’t cancel just apply for this one and i believe you can transfer Amex points from one card to another.

-
are amex MR points good for anything?
Yes! I use them for a 1:1 transfer to other programs. For example, my 30,000 bonus points are going to be transferred to Continental for 30,000 miles, which just so happens to be enough for a round trip ticket to Cancun. Check out www.membershiprewards.com for more.

I had seen the 30,000 points posted to my account last week. Yesterday when I checked, they were gone! I called and the agent told me that he saw it as pending until the end of this billing cycle. I hope I still receive them. It seems that they've caught the error! Should I still attempt to reach 1000 in spending?
Is anyone else noticing the points were posted and now disappeared??

Try calling MR and ask if you pay the statement now can the 30,000 points be posted to your account immediately so you can transfer them to an airline.
-
Thanks for the advice. i tried calling today and they said that regardless of when I pay, the points will be applied at the end of my billing cycle.
Anyone else notice that their miles disappeared?

usually it will show what you have earned but they are pending. they usually become available into your acct for using after that statement closes and is paid off.
eg my statement closed on 2/10 and is due 3 /08 I spent $10,000. on 2/11 I will have 10,000 pts pending, so till I pay the bill they arent available to me. If I pay the the FULL amount on 2/11 then I understand once that payment clears the pts will be mine to spend.
on my 3/10 statement the pts earned by my spending on my 2/10 bill will show as earned and in my acct, but not the pts I earned for any spending between 2/11 & 3/10 . the pts always get posted once the previous bill has been paid.
Mopst CCs programs dont work this way, you get the pts for that months bill then and there w/o having to wait till you pay the bill. I think its only Amex charge Cards that run this way. Since Amex DL,SPG,HH CCs transfers the pts/miles then and there as well
-
I also just saw on my Amex account online 30,000 mr points and i only spent $1,200. The points say earned not pending, does that mean they can't take them back?

You should be good, go and transfer them now if you're worried.
-
definately take them now! Mine were there and then removed and became pending.
-
used the link in the beginning of this thread... charged over 1000... statement just closed.. and does not show any point in my account. shows 15,000 available for points advance.
I just payed the balance a few minutes ago. will keep you posted
-

Are they still pending?
I think transferring them is a good idea.
Figuring out which program is the only challenge...
-
Is there a way to transfer them to a different AMEX account?

Officially no, however someone once did transfer points to my account by saying I was his bro-in-law. I was never been able to replicate that myself though.

Where would you change them to?
-
Air Canada and Continental are both good options.
ANA and Flying Blue may be worthwhile.
Airtran even may be decent.
Hard to say really...

do they ever let you transfer 1:1 to starpoints?
It shows on my statemens
30,000 points earned
1,130 - pending
but in the balance it shows 0 :(
when I called up they said that they are both pending and they could only put through the 1000 now, not the 30,000 bonus
btw I payed my balance yesterday and today it confirmed...
-
do they ever let you transfer 1:1 to starpoints?
No, the AMEX:SPG rate is 3:1, although once in a blue moon they offer 2:1.

Is there a diiference if you transfer points from CO's website or from Amex's website?
-
Is there a diiference if you transfer points from CO's website or from Amex's website?
No. It will transfer instantly.
-
I got the 30,00 available. Do you think I should be worried that they will remove it? Should I transfer it to CO now?
Also I noticed they want to charge me 18.00 to transfer 30,000 points. I was totally unaware of the fee.. Is there any way around it?
-
Whats the latest word on this promo? Are prople still getting the 30k? SHould I sign up now or wait for another promo to come along? Are there any better promos for MR points?
BTW, just got my starwood fee reduced by $15 and 3k SPG points after haggling with amex.

I know someone that applied in early March and already has 30K points already.
I'd apply now, spend the $1,000 and hope for the best!
-

Dan,
Do you have any advise?
-
I would probably transfer them.
Have any other 30K recipients seen their points gone from 30K to 15K?
-

I am going to do it. Any way around the 18.00 fee to transer 30000 points to CO. ( I am transferring to CO just because)
-

If you transfer to non-US airlines there is no fee.
But $18 is no big deal in my book for 30,000 miles and CO is a fine safe choice.
-

My 15k turned into 30k!! Dan is the Man!! :)
-
ANYONE GET THEIR 30K TAKEN AWAY?
-
I signed up for this card for the second time in a few months. I received the 30,000 the first time and nwo waiting to see if I receive it again. Is there an issue if I link my new CC to my existing online account? will that make it less possible to receive the points again?
Please respond
-
so in the end, the taking away of the 30,000 points was just paranoia, correct?
-
My wife's account still says:
Mar 1, 2010
Earned: Premier Rewards Gold Card-81006
30,000
But she has ZERO available points? Should I call AMEX or wait it out?

wait it out and it will come. or you can call them and have them push it through

You were right, 30k posted today- thanks!

Does anyone else think that the 15k extra was from the get 15,000 bonus MR points for spending $30,000 in a calendar year bonus?
If so, is there a risk in spending the 30k and not getting it? If you file an inquiry they will see they already gave the extra 15k?

I have a better question.... when you hit the 30k in a year, do the points post right away or at the end of the year..? I am very close to 30k already...
-
i also got the 50K in the mail. AFTER i signed up for the card with the 25K!!
is there any chance that if i call up and give the bonus ID/ Rsvp # they would retroactively change/add the Bonus?
anyone have any experience?

did you sign up for Amex 50K ? online? did it show up on the screen during application? did you get the 50K points in the end?
(i just got it in the mail, but don't see it on screen, not sure if to bother)

What's the best current sign up bonus for the personal card? Never had any PR bonus before.

It's giving me 10k. Hyperinflation?
You think it might be worth to wait a bit for a big promo to come?
I'm tempted to do the biz for 50k... just not sure I will pass another F/R...

You need to clear your broswer's cache and cookies to get the 15k offer!
-
ah, that did it.
-
If I have three cards open now, should I close any before applying? Thanks.
-
Did you cancel the first one, or just sign up for another one?
No, i did not cancel the first. I have them both now.
-
I tried doing the same thing and was denied for the second card. The reason they gave was that since they had just approved and given me a card 2 months ago, they said I can't have the same card open again.
-
Dan,
What is the difference between the gold card that gives 25k (that seems to be dead according to the main site) and the gold card that offers 15k but seems to yield 30k?
Are they the same card but different links being used to apply? Which ones are still available?
-

It's the same card, different offers.
When the card first came out the offer was 15K, but yielded 30K for everyone after spending $1,000.
Then there was a 25K offer for a limited time.
Now it's back to 15K, but it's very possible that really that will yield 30K again.

I, personally opened the 15k (30k) one.
I opened the 25k one for my wife.
Based on what people are reporting, should i be able to open the 15(30)k one for my wife now as well?
Could i open another one?

If you get the card you should get the points again. Whether they let you open up another card is up to them.

same thing happened to me, it was within 60 days, (that's what the rep on the phone said)
-
I got 15k twice
-
I applied for the 15k deal right before the 25k deal came out so i called amex to ask them to change it to the 25k deal. The rep said she couldn't find that offer but she found an offer for 25k after FIRST purchase and an additional 25k if additional cardholder spends 5k in 6 months. so she said she would note that offer on my account
-
I just got the 30K after spending 1K on my account. Is there still a fear that Amex will withdraw the miles since the offer was only 15K or am I safe? Did anyone have that experience where they took back half the miles?

I'm not aware of AMEX taking back points from anyone for the 15K/30K offer.

dan I got the 30,000 but when i apply for other credit cards even visa or master i keep on being declined. the last one i tried it said because there r to many applications .even though i was denied oon all of them. why am i being declined?

I received an offer for 25k for this card. My wife for 50k. Both were approved. My wife recently received an offer for another 50k under her nickname. After submitting that application it was "cancelled" due to her prior approval. She has now received another offer for 50k, under her nickname. Is there a way to get around her prior approval. (not give the social security number?)

I applied 3 months ago, spent the 1K, and just got credited the 30K. I figured if it was ultimately an error on their end since they were offering only 15K, that they would have the right to renege. I'm glad to hear you haven't heard any bad experiences.
-
I applied about a month ago and just got an e-mail about my point summary and it only had on it my 1000$ of purchases. How long does it take these miles to post? I wanted to use them for a vacation. Can I be sure that they'll come if I did it without playing any shtick (it was my first time applying for the card). If yes, then has anyone had any issues with having Amex advance points?
Thanks

If you live in an apartment, change the Apt. # format. Example: If it was 2B, enter B2.
If you don't live in an apartment, add in an apt. #.
Also try making a "slight mistake" on the name.
And do not enter you membership #.

I just realized i had not put $1,000 on the card and its already 3 months since my approval date (mid april)!!
do i have 3 months from the date of approval or from the date the card was activated to get the 25,000 point bonus?

Just do it quick and pray.
-
Just got off the phone with them. When they originally sent me a card it was accidentally thrown away before even being opened, so i asked for a replacement card. By the time i got the 2nd one and activated it, it was over a month after the approval date. They put in a request for an extension for me under these circumstances.... she said she doesn't see why the extension won't get approved. i'll keep prayin tho

Is this offer still going? Is there a credit card that gives you MR points. and is this a hard request on your credit score? Thanks
-
The 15,000 MR point offer (http://www.dansdeals.com/go/amexpremier) is still going on and people are still saying that they're getting 30,000 points from it after spending $1,000 within 3 months.
You will need to clear your browser's cache and cookies or use a different browser if you do not see the 15,000 point offer after clicking on the link.
-
Thanks.
What can you do about the $175 fee next year ? cancel the card? I dont think there is a free MR charge card that you can transfer too. and canceling the card will mean losing any MR points u didn't use - unless you transfer them all out of MR before you close
-
Maybe Amex Blue?
-
Thanks.

Just transfer the points out before you cancel.
-
So I guess the only real way out is to cancel. When I called Amex and asked about the rep on the phone told me to do just that - just make sure to transfer out all the points.
-
Maybe Amex Blue?
amex blue will hold the points so they don't disappear, but you can't transfer MR points out of a MR express account (amex blue) only out of a regular MR account (charge card-none free)
-
Maybe he can transfer to Blue and hold the points there until he opens a regular MR account again.
-
he can transfer to Blue and hold the points there until he opens a regular MR account again.
That is correct.
-
That is correct.
Thanks for confirming!
-
Maybe he can transfer to Blue and hold the points there until he opens a regular MR account again.
just to clarify, no need to 'transfer' as the 2 amex accounts (gold, blue) are automatically linked. just open a blue card
-
That was the intention.
-

Got my 30K points and today I see I have 15000 Available Points Advance. What's the deal with those? What happens if I take the advance and don't earn those points afterards? I can't close the account until then? Will I be penalized?
Thanks

Straight from the site you were just looking at:
"Points Advance allows you to redeem for rewards more quickly by advancing you Membership Rewards points at no extra charge. You must simply accrue enough points in your program account to satisfy the Points Advance within 12 months. If you don’t accrue enough points by then, your Card account will be charged for the remaining balance at $0.025 per point, which is the current Purchase Points cost in effect."
-
So what this means is that you are getting 15000 points for spending $1000 in 3 months and then getting another 15000 point advance and if you dont spend enough then they want the points back....

No, it means he has 30,000 available and another 15,000 should he want a points advance.

Hi.
With the Amex gold premier reward card I get three times points on airfare. When I read the link which I applied from, dans of course I thought it was only with us based carriers. When I called Amex one rep who prob did not know a thing said it is only airlines that partner with Amex membership rewards like delta. Another rep said no restrictions at all even foreign carriers. Can someone with experience please clarify thanks.

I have purchase from a non US based and received the bonus.
It needs to be catergorized as Airline i.e. if purchased through a travel agent and they bill you or some travel websites, and the charge does not say directly from the airline you will not receive it.
I actually just purchased from Expedia.com and the charge came up from expedia and the airline w/ all the passenger info, and was catergorized as Airline/Travel and I got the bonus 3 pts.
-
I use this all the time, they give 3 times on every transaction that appears as travel, even fees etc. in an event that you didn't get it just call them and they'll give it you gladly.

When you say travel I am sure you mean airfare and not hotels and rentals, correct?

I have a question to all of you who experienced this already:
Buying on Amex's travel site usually gives you double MR points, how about buying this with the gold card, how much will you earn, I have 3 options to think:
1. you'll receive only 3, because you can't double dip.
2. you'll receive 4, 3 for gold, and one extra for using their site.
3. you'll receive 5, 3 for gold, and 2 for their site.
4. you'll receive 6, 3 for gold, and another 3, since using their site gives you "double" points.
I called in Amex's MR number 4 times, and i've gotten every time a different answer, between 1-3 (nobody said option 4), I'd like to know if anyone here experienced this already, and what was the actual outcome.

I just booked through their travel site and I am waiting to see the charge it should come up tomorow.
I will see how they catergorize it.
I would assume that even if they do not bill it through the airline you should be able to get them to give you 3x for the air fair besides for the 2x.
You can always call them and tell them that you had the option to book directly w/ the airline and you chose to book through their website.
-
I booked from Amex travel site. The charges came up as follows:
1 charge from the airline w/ the passenger details which should definitely be eligible for 3x besides the 2x for booking through their site.
And another charge for $21.98 which was included in the original price they just split it up.
I assume that it is a booking fee possibly around $11 per ticket I purchased 2 tickets.
The second charge was catergorized as Travel/Airline It should also be eligible for 3x, I will wait and see till my statement prints.

The above posts seem to be at odds with each other...
So for clarification:
I am about to spend a few thousand dollars on travel from a Travel Agency based out of Israel called "GLOBAL TRAVELS JERUSALEM"
My question is: Do I use AMEX Gold or do I use my 2% Cash Back Visa?
I would use AMEX Gold, but only if I get the 3x bonus; otherwise, I'd use my 2% cash back (which is worth more than 1x AMEX MR points).
Anyone have any insight?

when i booked through a jerusalem travel agent the charge came through as from elal.
bear in mind that you probably will have to pay a foreign transaction fee of 3% on the amex on the tickets. if your 2% visa has no foreign transaction fees your better off with that. otherwise use the amex

Definitely thru Amex gold, if you won't get the points you should just SM or call and they will gladly give it you.

Excellent catch on the (possible) forex fee. Anyway to know if I would get smacked with a forex fee before I make the charge? My cash back card is the 2% charles schwab visa which, AFAIK, has zero forex fees.
EDIT: I have charged travel expenses from this same Israeli travel agent to my Charles Schwab Visa in the past, but I have no idea if they were "foreign exchange fee worthy." I mean, it looks like I got charged in $ - does that help figure it out? How would I find out?

Great to know. Thanks for the prompt reply. (Just need to work out the forex issue before charging on AMEX.)

If the charge is in dollars even though it is done in Israel there is no Forex fee this is with American Express.
I know that with Citi bank CC you will get charged regardless if the charge is in dollars.
Elal tickets are billed in Dollars.

Thanks for the valuable data point. As I edited my post above to indicate, I have used my Charles Schwab Visa Cash Back card with zero forex fees to pay for my tickets in the past, and it got charged (as seen on my statement) in USD/$.
Does this make me safe to charge this upcoming amount on AMEX to get the 3x?

Travel agent laid out the money for me. I need to pay him back. So, they were booked.

Travel agent laid out the money for me. I need to pay him back. So, they were booked.
Then it is too late for my idea.
Which was, if the travel agent is dumping on extra fees or it is some sort of a special ticket that they need to put the credit card through their system, then ask them to split up that charges i.e. cost of ticket from airline $1000 + $25 booking fee or whatever. I have done that in the past, they may not like doing it, depending on the travel agent they may do it.
In regards to 3x from Travel agents, technically they are not eligible, however I have done it in the past and usually amex will give it to you. I once had a issue but after calling a couple of times and explaining to them that I had no idea that they were booking it that way and telling them that I can send them the Itinerary I was able to get the 3x.
I would take the gamble!

What exactly did you explain to them?
I would take the gamble!
I'd agree. I figure it this way:
Assume I'm spending $2000.00.
Using VISA: 2% cash back = $40.00.
Using AMEX: (assuming only 1x) 2000 MR points = $30.00 (assuming I can sell for $.015 - which I likely can)
Using AMEX: (if I get 3x) 6000 MR points = $90.00
So by using the AMEX, I risk losing $10 (if I only ultimately get 1x) for a chance at making an additional $60 (if I ultimately get 3x).
Seem right to you?
Also -- the last wrinkle is if I will get smacked with a 2.7% AMEX Forex fee... Still haven't heard from anyone their opinion on that... To repeat:
I have charged travel expenses from this same Israeli travel agent to my Charles Schwab Visa in the past, but I have no idea if they were "foreign exchange fee worthy." I mean, it looks like I got charged in $ - but I'm not sure if that's conclusive.... How would I find out?

Yes, Charles Schwab does not have forex fees. That being said, I have used the CS card for past dealings with this Israeli travel agent, and my statement those charges have showed up as being in dollars. No shekels, no conversion rate. With that being the case, would it be safe to assume that I would not incur forex fees on AMEX for this Israeli travel agent? Thanks

Why dont you ask the travel agent if they will be putting the charges throuh in dollars or shekel?
If they put them through in dollars then you should be ok.

@AJK
My point was that I thought it had been put through in USD and I still got charged Forex, now I'm not sure I'll have to check Paypal when I'm near a PC.

Why not open an Amex Plat(MB) and spend $1,000 and get 50,000 MR as well to add on top of that. I would not transfer to SPG as the ratio would not be worth it if you ask me.

Is this the first year you have the PRG card?
If yes there is no reason they shouldn't waive the fee.
And by the way, maybe its because you asked them to wave the fee. Try again now asking them to waive the fee.
But 10k points is what you keep for compensation for the trouble you have.

After not receiving points called Amex and they told me there was no bonus associated with the signup.
I cant find the link now. Anyone know where I can get the code? Was I imagining things? anything that can be done now?
It wasn't a link. It was a CreditCard.com offer.

I just noticed this too on my prg, canceled platinum about a week ago. $35.
-
I received an offer in the mail to one of my Amex "AU's" for 50k after $1k on the PRG.
If I sign up using this offer, what are the chances it'll be honored?

I want to get a PRG but I have a unique situation.
I am grandfathered in at a $55 annual fee on my (22 year old) green card.
A rep told me several months ago that if I ever upgrade and then go back to my green, he doesn't think he can ever get that AF back since there isn't even any code for it.
Does this sound believable? Why would he talk me out of upgrading? Am I being a sucker to not go for the PRG upgrade just cuz I like my little $55 AF?
-
Sounds believable to me. That's what "grandfathered" means.

I received an email offer - upgrade to BGR and receive 15k after 5k spend. Annual fee not waived. This comes after I had the Platninum and downgraded to Green. I am not planning on doing an AOR before sukkos. I had applied for the BGR either one or two AORs ago, but I was declined. The advantage is that I assume there is no hard pull to go this route. Maybe I could huca for the 50k match? Maybe I would get the 25k offer to upgrade to Platninum? What do you think?

Doesn't seem like it would hurt to try. Though Amex is not good with matching offers.

My other option would be to not respond, and just try again for the 50k by my next AOR (approx 6-8 weeks).

You can ask, which i don't believe will negatively affect you. Depending on what they say, you can decide what you want to do. Maybe you can save a pull or add another cc on your AOR if you just go with the upgrade now.

I received a snail mail today from AMEX regarding my BGR. "Effective Sepetember 16, 2013 you will now also earn: 2x points on US purchases made directly from select hardware, software, and cloud computing providers." I don't know how limited their "select" list is, but worthwhile to know.
-
So the bottom line is that the 50,000 bonus is only by mail? Can you apply for an offer to someone elses name?
-
My wife and I both applied for the PRG card in June and got approved. Both spent 2k and she got her 25k MR points and I didn't.
Called up Amex and they have no record of my offer and asked me for the offer code (We both applied through Dan's link).
I have a screen shot of my wife's app, but can't seem to find the screen shot of mine (of course).
Any suggestions? They said they would look into it but I'm not hopeful. Never had this card before either.

If you never had this card before be insistent. Why would you not take advantage of the same offer your Wife received . Explain to them you are not irresponsible , and why wouldn't you expect the same bonus/consideration.
After all you are applying for an Amex card which shows you are intelligent, so nothing less should be expected of you

I like your enthusiasm :D
I tried a bunch of similar lines, and they said they would look into it and that's all they could do without the offer code. If I don't hear anything back in a couple days I'll call back and try again (I do want to close the card soon so I can churn it eventually) but I wanted to see if anyone had a similar experience or knew what code to give them. Guess I learned my lesson to be more careful about my screen shots...

Enthusiasm and persistence. I assume you spoke with a supervisor , and told them how you want to join the Amex family .
Been getting all sorts of promos from that no good Chase :)
-
I didn't it up to a supervisor this time. I already have been an Amex holder for 5 years, just not this specific card. I also have the BGR (now Platinum) card and I was possibly concerned that since I already got a promotional bonus through those cards I might not be eligible for the PGR bonus, but I don't think that should be the case.
Anyway looks like I'll just have to call again and use more 'persistence'.

Called back again and they're saying the marketing department looked into it and closed the investigation, that they wouldn't be giving me any points, and the only thing I could do about it would be to write a letter. Ugggg....more work to do...

Don't write letters, contact the CFPB.

Dear Mr. #,
Your recent correspondence to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) has been forwarded to
me for review. Thank you for taking the time to share this matter with us. We are unable to issue you the
requested Membership Rewards (MR). Please allow me to respond to your inquiry.
American Express records show you applied for a Premier Rewards Gold card account through our
website on July #, 2013. The promotion associated with your application was to receive a $0.00
introductory annual membership fee for the first year. Please be aware as part of the application for the
offer you reference in your correspondence we disclose that if you are identified as a current American
Express Cardmember you may not be eligible for the welcome bonus offer. Our records further show you
have been an American Express Cardmember since 2008. Additionally, the screenshot of an application
approval provided in your correspondence to the CFPB is addressed to [your wife] and does not
represent your application.
We regret that your customer service experience has been a source of dissatisfaction to you. American
Express is committed to providing excellent customer service and stresses that our representatives use the
utmost professionalism and courtesy. During our investigation we were unable to validate your claim that
we did not make a promised telephone call to you.
Mr. #, we trust this letter has answered your questions and addressed your concerns.
Thanks for the suggestion but it didn't work. Wow, what a waste of an app and spending....
Learn from my mistake people - double check that you have taken a screenshot of all your apps!

Trying to figure out what to do with my MR points.
I have 66,000 points and will earn another 40,000 (should post on 1/7/14) thanks to an upgrade from PRG biz to Plat biz. I hope to close the plat before 1/31/14 to avoid the annual fee. I also have a blue for biz that I can use to bank points.
Should I transfer my 66,000 points to BA for the 20% bonus or should I hold my points with the blue for biz account.
My real question is how hard will it be to get another Green, Gold, or Plat card to use for airline transfers at some later date?
My history/plans with Amex Charge cards:
May 2013 - Opened PRG Biz card
Dec 2013 - Upgraded from PRG Biz to Plat Biz
Jan 2014 - Hope to close the Plat Biz account

I spoke to 2 reps and neither one let me continue my first year without paying the annual fee (whether I downgraded to green or gold). I ended up downgrading to green hoping that I'll be able to get 5k MR after one purchase and then close the account.
Anyone know what the deadline for closing the green card will be to avoid paying the (prorated) $95 AF. I hope that the points post before that deadline.

You should not have to pay it since you were on a promotion. Offer essentially amex covered the first year afaik. If you paid for the fee then upgraded then downgraded they would be charge you again...

Hi, need advice here. I opened for my wife a PRC a year ago and accumulated over 50k points now its up for renewal and I don't want to pay the AF so I called and asked them to transfer it to my MR account but they don't want to do that.

1) Transfer to a partner
2) Open a another (business or blue) MR earning card

From Dan's article "Credit cards for dummies". Note that AMEX always reports every card you open as being opened in the year that you first got an AMEX card. So if an AMEX was your first card then don’t sweat it as you can always get that date again by just opening a new card.

Thanks

So both my Amex Gold premier charge card and Amex gold business charge card are posting the AF this month or so so I have to close or take some other action to avoid AF. What is the best course of action at this point:
moving my MR points to airlines and close both cards
keeping my MR points somehow? and close both cards
any other ideas, options?

Get a retention bonus and/or get the fee waived.

tried that already
they only offered $50 or use $10,000 MR points to pay $175 AF

Or get a blue from american express before you cancel. If you have another credit card (not charge) you can convert it. That doesn't allow airline transfers but it keeps your MR's until you get another card.

If you get another MR earning card, it will keep your points intact if you close the PRG. The blue doesn't transfer to airlines, but can be used as a place holder like the Freedom card.

I posted this elsewhere. I guess it belongs here:
Not sure if this is the best place to post this. There was a 50k offer for amex gold rewards in Nov. When I clicked on link, I got message that I was ineligible for that bonus since I already was an amex cardholder but I could get the then current offer of 25k. I never got the bonus I called and was told there was no record of such a bonus offer. When I complained they said I could write corporate. Well I just got the same response from them. Does anyone have a screenshot of a 25k offer from Nov. or have any advice what I should do?
-
Doesn't matter I guess, Just got offered the full $175 to keep it open...
What did you tell CS?? They weren't gonna waive the AF for me...
-
What happens if I close my PRG card with a negative point balance?
-
Got hit with AF, called to downgrade to the green card and they offered me the senior card with a $35 annual fee, is that the best and cheapest way to keep my MR?

You can still keep your MR, just depends if you want/need to transfer them out.

My first ever successful retention bonus. I called saying the was thinking of closing the PRG to consolidate/ rearrange my cards. She talked about it being the premier points earner and how flexible the points were. She pointed out that with 30K spend over the year you get a 15K point bonus. I made appropriate ooh and ah and that is a nice benefit! She then offered me 25K points to keep the card open! I, of course, accepted.

Thank you all for celebrating with me. (My husband doesn't wanna know.)
Amazing! Do you have other cards open with Amex now?
I have several other Amex cards. But in 2013 I spent the 30K to get the 15K MR bonus, so that might have made this card more valuable to them.

I got an offer in the mail for Business Premier Gold card 50,000 points after I just closed this same card last month! I read the fine print and I did not find any language that would prevent me from getting bonus again although it did refer me to website for complete rules and regulations.
Should I go for this and keep offer in case they do not give me bonus or is this a waste of time and a credit pull

But do I have a good chance getting bonus since fine print on offer in mail did not restrict it to new cardholders?

I doubt chances are good. Read fine print on the site, like it instructed you to do. I think it's 2 pulls, I don't rem though.

I get offers for UA as well with the same card, same bonus, even though I still have the card open. I think it's automatic... When you sign up, there are terms and offers you need to "accept" or agree to. Doesn't matter if an email says otherwise.
-

From the wiki in the 2/3/4BM thread (http://forums.dansdeals.com/index.php?topic=9825.0): FAQ:
Q: If I apply for business and consumer cards in the same 3bm will it still only cause one pull? What about mixing credit and charge cards?
A: If you're doing a 3bm with Chase, mixing business and consumer cards will usually cause 2 pulls, but there have been recent reports of only getting one. Though with AMEX, one can mix them together with no worry. In regards to mixing credit and charge cards, it does NOT make a difference, and your credit will only be pulled once.

I've never had the Premier Gold card before. As a matter of fact I've never had any Amex card with membership rewards. I currently have their blue cash everyday and am an AU on the Blue Sky card.
However, when I follow Dan's link for the Premier Gold card, it doesn't give me any bonus offer. Just a first year annual fee waiver. There's red letters on the top of the page that says, "You have been identified as a current American Express Card Member. You may have seen an offer advertised for this product previously, but the offer is not available to current American Express Card Members."
Is there just no bonus offer right now or is this just for everybody?

If you want to keep the MR, you need to apply for a card that gives you MR. Everyday card gives you Dollar Rewards, not MR. If you ask them for an incentive to keep the card open for another year, it might be worth paying the AF.

When downgrading, you will not be able to transfer out until you get a "higher earning" MR card. Just something to keep in mind.

Some clarification required. Is the following true?
To retain MR points ( avoid losing them when you close a card) you need to have another card which earns MR points.
To transfer MR points to FF programs, you need A Gold card or higher.

wasn't working for me in chrome incognito. found it in chrome regular, go figure.
Just got it in chrome incognito. Is the best thing just to spend the 1k get the 50k MR, transfer to AMEX everyday, and then close the premier gold to avoid annual fee but still maintain the MR points??

Just came across this link, open in private mode for a 50K/1K offer
https://www304.americanexpress.com/credit-card/premier-rewards-gold/25330
Got it! Thanks!
Was pending, called new accounts, he put me on hold for a few minutes and told me it was approved. Said I would get the card in 2-3 days. Email said "Your Card Application has been Rush Approved!" Never got that before. This is my fourth open card with Amex.
Later that day I applied for SPG. New accounts says it's on hold for 3-5 days, but I got an email saying "I've reached the maximum number of cards they approve in a few months." New accounts said it was flagged as a duplicate and sent to underwriting. The status page changed from canceled to in progress.

Searched this and the BRG thread, so hope this is the right place:
I know there are some T&C regarding "same family of card" for AMEX cards--correct? Is it possible to 2bm the BRG and PRG? Or does that not work as they are the same family?
Another scenario: You apply for the BRG, and then business platinum--does that count as the "the same family of card", or two diff products?

Amex PRG to add $100 airline credit and no foreign transaction fees and some other benefits as of 6/1/15.

Wow. I have to say AmEx leveled the playing field.
At $195/yr with a $100 airline reimbursement (effectively $95/yr like the Chase SP) + no forex, 2x at restaurants and the same 3x from airlines, this card becomes quite the competitor.

Finally, Amex has realized that no forex fees is not a benefit anymore. Its something that you most offer in order to be up to date... Almost every Chase card has no forex fees. IMO the only reason Amex was so obnoxious with that was because back in the days when every CC charged forex fees they were the only one offering a special card, called the Platinum card which had no forex fees. It was the most prestige full AMEX card for that reason. They were saying every where that its the only card for the traveler etc, not realizing that they are really old fashioned and outdated. That the UMPE card has no forex fees. But they didn't wanna face the fact and waive forex fees for the PRG because it would automatically bring down the prestige from the Platinum card. But finally they realized that it was not the right business decision.

Can wait till they add lounge access to this card...

Nice they gave me a $125 statement credit this year for keeping the card open. now I get another $100 sweet.

I'm assuming that even given the changes you still can't get the bonus if you've had the older version. Anybody think differently?

3 x on flights is awesome, 1 more than the sapphire gives

Does supermarket spend still stay at 2x? If so, thats 2x on $500 GC's making RC loads with debit that much more lucrative if you dont have Ink.

Is there a limit on the bonus spending for this card?
-
Considering that Amex seems to limit how many personal card accounts you can have at one time, and you cant get more than 5 add'l cards on a PRG account without paying more $$, it would seem to me that the benefits of having as many add'l cards as you want (for SBS purposes) on a cheaper personal card, far outweighs the benefits that come with PRG.
-
Depending how many au's you add but I can hear that argument. I rather have a prg & load up on other cards with au's unless you really wanna be a "chazzer"

Hard to justify signing up for a card that restricts sign up bonus points to once in a lifetime. Most of us I'm sure have used up our sign up bonus unless there is a way around that? Now if you have the card already that's something else as mentioned up thread re: all the benefits;

So have we confirmed the additional 15K after $30K is still in effect for 2015?
I got it too and was told by a rep when I inquired before I got it that I'll get it. This was after 3 reps and twitter kept telling me that it was over and there was nothing they could do to give it to me.
-
That's the best it gets.
I also got a 50k/1k offer in incognito window, but there's language like this:
If we identify you as currently having an American Express® Card account, you may not be eligible for this welcome bonus offer. This offer is also not available to applicants who have or have had this product.
I do have other amex cards, but never had PRG. Does this generally get honored if I have a different card?

Yup
Amex PRG to add $100 airline credit and no foreign transaction fees and some other benefits as of 6/1/15.
That's some good news from Amex for a change.

Yes (just posted today).

Beside the signup bonus, is there any advantage to this card over any regular Amex card? purchase protection is the same for all other AMEX, even the lowly Costco one. What am I missing? What I am trying to figure out that why does this card have a higher fee than other Amexes?
-
Yes (just posted today).
Did you get the card this year?
Does that even make a difference?

I'd argue that this one of, if not the, card to beat come June 1.
Excellent category bonuses, no forex fees, and all the attendant Amex benefits makes this card a real winner.

I need advice. I've had this card for a yr and now want to let it go. I have payed the af already, but I still have another week to cancel in order to get my af back. Should I just wait till June and pggm w/ the $100 credit, cancel, and get back a prorated af?

If you cancel now you get back $175. If you PGGM after June 1 you get $100 for PGGM plus 3/4 of $175= $131.25 Ummmm do you like being spoonfed? :P

AF of $175 on PRG just hit. If I pay now, I assume I still get all the benefits come June 1. But am I changed an additional $20 of annual fee? This is one of the only cards I'm thinking about paying the AF for.

I would assume (I don't mean ASSume ;)) that once you pay the AF you are good for the whole year.

I just spoke to recon about this and was offered 2,500 points and another 5,000 after $1,000 spend in 60 days. That with the $100 airline credit coming soon, not a bad deal.

I suspect the same, but wanted clarification. If so, though, it'd make sense to apply before June 1 to save a bit of money.

Does it have 12m language or not? Also in general you can get a card but in regards to getting the points with Biz in general is 12m after closing and with personal is currently once per lifetime.
-
reason i was asking - with the recent rsvp code being leaked online i thought i saw the with the code this rule doesn't apply.
with the new perks for the gold card-are they considering it a new product which would mean yo can apply and get the points?

ah..so if the invitation doesn't have 12 month language for business then should be fine.
was the last code that was online-did that have the 12 month language?

Not saying it isn't accurate, but I don't think I've seen a confirmed report of someone who was within the 12 month period getting the bonus again due to the fact that it didn't contain the rule.

so i guess i have to wait then
i last closed a bunch of business cards last july and aug
the MB plat , that's also a one time deal ?
just signed up for ameriprize plat w first year free -that's also considered a separate product

Thank you, I did see the other responses. In the past, for my Plat, the credit has posted very quickly.
My annual fee is due on this card and I was getting ready to cancel it, until I saw that this benefit was going to become available 6/1. I have about a week before the payment is due. I realize that Amex will prorate the fee if I cancel later - I'd just rather pull the plug soon.

The benefits of HUCA.
Called to cancel BCP as I wanted to make space for other Amex cards. Had a few RD left over.
CSR #1 said---gee, you'll lose those if you don't product switch. Can't do nuthin' about it. ---So I hung up.
CSR #2 said---gee, you have RD left over and you have a long history with us. As a courtesy, I can apply a cash credit to any of your other accounts for the amount of RD left over. Which account would you like?
First though of OBC. Then it seemed like a bad idea to have eyes on that spending...so I asked for a credit on the PRG---even though it's not in the RD program or a "Blue" Amex product. "No problem, happy to help you out!"
Yipppeee!

Usually the simplest reasoning is the correct one.
I called and chatted with amex myself and got the same answer, I have no reason to believe it isn't true.
If anyone got the card after January and did get the bonus, I'll be very happy to be proven wrong

I did complete the spend, and my understanding of his past was that he did as well. I may be wrong about that but my experience still stands

Yes.. But they said they only give the points to people that opened their account before 2015

I think the take-aways here need to be that D93 should chill out with his/her assumptions, and unless someone can confirm otherwise, Dan should edit his post that the bonus only applies to cards prior to Jan 2015.

Got 2 questions for the PRG/BRG
First amex deals, can i combine this with a cashback portal like topcashback/ebates/DD/etc?
Second cash advance worry, Given they're charge cards and that i can't find any info on amex's site or on the web about copping a cash advance fee, will purchasing VGCs on giftcards.com or similar sites for MS purposes incur a cash advance fee? If its possible I can just call in to lower the cash advance limit and prevent it from going through then?

Usually when you book thru an OTA the charge comes from the airline, so it would qualify. But in some cases when the charge comes from Priceline it would not qualify.

on my other amex card (spg g spg b delta) the bonus appeared a few days after meeting the purchase requirement
Should be the same--check the little '!' icon next to available points and it should show them as pending.

I chatted with amex they said point will post after closing date after I paid bill (say two month from opening even though I Finnished the spend after a few days)
For me and my wife it would be January 1st
I wanted to transfer the points to Iberia avios before December 31st.
Anyone manage to get the point earlier?
Would it help to HUCA again?

If you paid the bill and you see the points as pending, you can sometimes get them to accelerate them and have them post. Give them a call and explain why you want the points.

You also will NOT get additional points for purchases made at nightclubs, convenience stores, grocery stores, or supermarkets.

sure, got same offers here for biz plat and gold cards for higher bonuses. no language , no restrictions. you can definatly use it for someone else. call and say that your that person which the offer was addressed to. when it comes to stating your LEGAL NAME, tell them the legal name. if questioned, say it had my HEBREW name on the envelope, but for birth certificate and SSN/public records, my legal name is used. done this all the time, works. Good luck!

Interesting point; I had just received a 150k bonus offer. showed pending after 3 weeks of card-membership. first statement was generated about 8 days into new account. so first statement already printed, charges posted, 150k points pending as of 3 weeks of new account being opened. Bill was paid in full but manager couldn't accelerate pending points cause was part of bonus and 2nd statement didn't print yet. he was able to accelerate the 33 points from 1st statement which was for regular spending, and boom! the moment he did the 33, it pushed all pending points along with bonus.

Hey guys,
So in my AMEX offers , I am pre-approved for the amex business gold with a whopping sign-up bonus of 75,000 points.
I really want this card and I would like to know what to put in on my application to be sure I adequately represent myself to be guaranteed accepted.
First off, what do I put for federal tax ID? and business name ? industry? estimated monthly spending?
secondly, i have credit score of 733 right now. is that good enough to be sure ill get the card?
TIA!

The easy answer is you put you federal EIN/TIN, and your business's name and industry, as well as the business's estimated monthly spend.
Second, there's never a guarantee to be accepted.
If you don't have an actual business entity but run some sort of side business, you can put its industry, estimated spend, "Your Name, Sole Proprietor," and use your social.

There are some devices that just seem to be targeted. My phone had one browser that used to be targeted on a consistent basis, until it got updated by mistake. Until then, I got every single offer every single time, and since then, it's the same as anybody else.

60 days from AF posting for a full refund, after that it's prorated.
Is my memory going or was the policy 90 days last year? I waited until day 68 to cancel, figuring I still had time to kill, and lost $33 in the process. Not the end of the world given what I've made off this card, but is there any chance I could get a full refund if I asked nicely enough, or is it not worth bothering?
I didn't even use the card since the fee posted, aside from one recurring payment that I forgot to switch to a different card, and then I made the mistake of waiting for the statement to close to make sure I'd get the points. I guess I shouldn't have waited.

Yeah I know, i told him to start spending on the card then pay the bill before the due dates to repair the credit damage.
But the main part of this was to be able to save the 250k MR.

From the T&C
You will earn one point for each dollar charged for an eligible purchase in each billing period on your Premier Rewards Gold Card from American Express. You will get: 2 additional points (for a total of 3 points) for airfare on a scheduled flight charged directly with passenger airlines (charter flights and private jet flights are excluded); 1 additional point (for a total of 2 points) for each dollar charged at restaurants located in the US; 1 additional point (for a total of 2 points) for gasoline at gas stations located in the U.S. (superstores, supermarkets and warehouse clubs that sell gasoline are not considered gas stations); and 1 additional point (for a total of 2 points) for purchases at supermarkets located in the U.S. (superstores and warehouse clubs are not considered supermarkets). To get additional points for a restaurant purchase, the purchase must be at a restaurant located in the United States. You will NOT get additional points for purchases made at a restaurant owned by a U.S. company but located outside the U.S. (e.g. Hard Rock Café in Paris). You also will NOT get additional points for purchases at nightclubs, convenience stores, grocery stores, or supermarkets. You may not get additional points for purchases at a restaurant located within another establishment (e.g. a restaurant inside a hotel, casino, or event venue). For example, purchases made at a restaurant located within a hotel may be recognized as a purchase at a hotel, not a restaurant.

I ordered something from a Chinese website to Israel 2 months ago and it still hasn't arrived. The shipping info says it is still in the location where it was shipped from and hasn't been updated in weeks. I contacted the company and refused to refund me/ send another one out since the item has been shipped already. Do I have any protection with amex for this/ can I dispute the charge on my amex bill?

Sure.

It doesn’t say anything about that. Is there somewhere else I should check, besides the footer of the email?

Hi All -
This might have been covered already but hoping you could help as I couldn't find it.
I have my $100 Airline Fee Credit pointing to Jetblue for 2018 - I don't have a flight in mind or a need for it in the immediate future. Any ideas on how to maximize it?
Thanks!

Thanks for the replies. Browsing AMEX site, seems that everyday card with no AF might be the best option to keep MRs, unless I am missing something..

I recently got my first statement since getting the gold card, and when I was looking it over I noticed I didn't get the 20% back I'm supposed to get on restaurants for the first three months, on one of my restaurant charges. I called AMEX and the rep told me that the restaurant processed the payment using Square, therefore the charge is excluded from the 20% back offer even though the charge showed under the restaurant category. I then asked the rep if it states that in the T&C, and of course she said yes. I hung up and looked at the T&C and couldn't find anything there stating such a thing, so I called back and this rep ended up agreeing with me, and applied the 20% discount to my account for that charge. That's my story, anyone else have issues with the 20% restaurant offer?

I received the same $195 AF, but I am definitely earning based on the current points system, namely 4x MR on restaurants and supermarkets.

They will likely cancel the card without the info, you'd get a notice about it.

Yes, but you have to make sure the credit hits before the close of the year so you would want to give yourself a bit of a cushion.

Is the following scenario harmless, a really bad idea, or somewhere in between?
After maxing out 150k on shipping on the BGR, upgrade to plat (or downgrade to green), wait some time, then PC back to gold, to (hopefully) take advantage of a new 150k of bonus spend.
Any thoughts on how will amex take to that?
