Maybe Dan didn't find out from you.

Dan mentioned a few weeks ago that it was coming back.

Your posting on his forum, so why should ebay get the credit when he can? He needs to pay his bills too!

Hey everyone-
related question about MR points: i got the old business gold bonus of 50,000 miles for 5K spend (since i live in Israel and can't use the card locally - they absolutely kill you with forex fees, etc., i'm not too bummed about the 75K, because i'd have a real problem hitting 10K spend) - anyway, ran a total of about $5450 of charges, and about $715 of returns.
Today, they posted my 50K bonus points (the returns were a while ago, before they posted the points).
So, the question is, do i need to push another $250 of charges on the card to get to 5K after returns, or is it safe to move on? I have a minimum spend on another card i have to start working on...

thanks

Never heard of bonus points being clawbacked after returning beneath spend requirement .
Have heard regular points taken back but with that YMMV

How often does amex have these promos? If i just applied last week for 3 cards (2 pulls) is it worth it to apply for this card again now for the 75K and get another pull? Or do they often have 75-100K promos and ill just wait a few months of paying off the 3 i got and apply then.

Thanks all.

They'll stay as they aren't tied to any one card but to the MR account. The MR account is active as long ads you have one "MR" card.

Slow

10k = 4 months
2.5k = 1 month

$600 a Week

I did an Amex 4BM last night for Business Gold Rewards, Starwood Business, Gold Delta Business and Premier Rewards Gold, and the immediate response was "Your Application is Pending. Please call us now." for the first 3. I called the number and provdied the tracking number and verified my information, and they told me I was approved for each of those 3. But for the 4th one, Premier Rewards Gold, the immediate response online was "Your application is pending further review" and it didn't provide a tracking number or say I should call up. When I check my card application status online, it shows "In Progress" and "We will notify you once your application has been processed, or if we need additional information."

At this point, should I be calling up to inquire about the 4th application that is "pending review" or should I just wait. If I call up to inquire, and I don't even have a tracking number for this application, would I be drawing attention to the other 3 applications that were just approved, and possibly cause trouble for this one?

I would even consider cancelling the application unless its worth risking a second pull. Amex did the same to me a while back for a spg bus and personal app...

Just got approved for all 4! Any reason I should check how many hard pulls they did, or is there nothing I can do about it anyway?
