Probably will get a claw back, it's easy to get these preapproved offers.

Why? For a 100K offer I applied when it was official, no games. This offer I received online in my amex account.
I heard about people who received those offers in mail. This post is about 2 other ways.
Additionally, I know that many people use an old UI link, so they won't see this type of offer there.

Hi everybody,

Probably your already discussed this topic, however I can't find it.
I want to share that my better half and I received offers for The Platinum Card (AMEX).

1. I received in a "popup/banner" message when I logged into my amex account. Usually, I see something like "Refer friends. Get rewarded" but this time I got "You're pre-approved...". I followed the link and applied. Of course I did screenshots and downloaded T&C (no "Welcome bonus offer not available to applicants who have or have had this product.").
Last week I got my 60K.

2. My better half received an email with "You're selected to apply ... ". T&C doesn't have "Welcome bonus offer not available to applicants who have or have had this product".
Lets see if this one works as well.

Both of us applied for a 100K offer in 2016 and closed it in 2017.

When was the last time you got more than one of each at the same time?

December. One good way is to have a preapproved mail.

You're not going to get more than one of each but it doesn't hurt to try.

-1, not true.

Has anyone applied for a BOA business card as a sole proprietorship, and had to send in documents or proof? Signed up a week ago, got a long letter asking for proof of said business (tax returns, etc) - Any advice on how to proceed on this - tax return is solid, but has no info on business. Thanks.

Yes.

Up In The Air / Re: El-al dropping UP, adding new seating options, and flying direct to San Fran!!!

reposting from the main site

For a long time a local Israeli community used to run http://sfotlv.org/ "SFO TLV in 14.5 Hours". Now its down, but it was about how profitable would be this route. We filled surveys and many companies confirmed that they would be interested. AFAIK they presented this to United, El-Al and Delta. El Al turned down because they didn't want to damage their LAX-TLV flight and Delta thought it would not be profitable.

InterContinental David Tel Aviv   40,000 -> 50,000
Crowne Plaza Eilat 25,000 -> 20,000

Can't say that I like Eilat, but at least there is something good here..


A LOT of CA properties went up ... some of them >60%
The Bay area is a wasteland for miles&points
