I left it blank. There's no star by the tax id field. I just put my ssn on the personal info page.

Edit - there is a star there, but i jsut started a new app and put in sole proprietorship 1 employee, retail trade (i.e. ebay), and i am owner, bus revenue of 0-50K, and 3K a month spend. left tax id field blank. Did that exact same set up for both my wife and myself and both were approved.

I did 4BM method yesterday and had to call to unfreeze my Experian account, I was approve for 3 instantly but the 4th card was the delta gold I applied using a invitation code which was addressed to someone else at my address (offer was 50k). They told me they can't approve unless they speak to that person who is not around.

MY options are to call and apply by phone or I can apply from an email offer I got today for 40k. The question is if they pulled my credit today (Monday) for the 3 cards this morning and they pull it again for the Delta tonight, will it count as a separate pull or as long is it is all on the same business day it is considered one pull?

Please advise i have an hr to apply if the later is the case.

Thanks

I have an offer by mail for the Business Gold, 50k with 5k in 3m. Offer code not working online but working on their system when I called. Don't want to do over the phone because I want a 2/3bm.

Question- If I apply for reg Business Gold, I would think I should have no problem applying the offer after the fact with my offer code. Anyone disagree?

As long as you apply in the same day, it doesn't matter whether its done online or over the phone.

i dissagre, amex has been really strict abt bonuses, but dan does say that as long as u do it in the same day it sould be one pull so try the 50k over the phone then go online and do a 2bm

Just got an upgrade offer from BRG to Business Plat.

They'll give me 25K after first purchase (with no language of the new T&Cs).

The only downside is I don't want to lose my free first year of BRG (as it's my MR xfer key)...

Decisions, decisions...

Upgrade- get the points and $200 Airfare credit, downgrade and pay annual fee on gold with money from airfare credit...

Don't like doing that.

Not a bad approach, but I don't want to pay AF if I can avoid it.

You went from BRG to Biz Plat back down to BRG, got the 25K bonus and kept the free BRG year? Nice.

Excellent. Did you have to fight for the free "remainder of the BRG year" or was it automatic upon downgrade?
