Singapore
Don't know how smart that is. In the past, people have been able to transfer from amex to singapore without matching names, but many of those accounts were then audited by singapore.

Anyone know if Virgin Atlantic is an instant transfer? Or if it is faster to transfer from Amex.

Although the virgin Atlantic website says round trip redemption is required, the agent said it is not enforced and that you can do one way for half.

That is true, but it's not a redeye, will sleep when I arrive. Feel it was worth it for 30k TY vs 50k United.

Share points with other ThankYou Members through the ThankYou Point Sharing App on Facebook and get that big reward a little faster.

The limit is now set at 100,000 sharing per year. Noticed this language when doing transfer on motzei Shabbos.

Why are ur TYP expiring? Can't you just make a charge ? Or open a new TYP card?
Also there is a no AF card vis a vis chase freedom which lets you keep your TYP.

Opening a new one doesn't keep the typ from a closed card from expiring.
Don't want to downgrade bec it restarts the application rules.

btw I'm pretty sure closing restarts the 24 months as well.

arent you dealing with a thank you card? Basically what I'm saying is downgrading is the same as closing with regard to receiving a new bonus on that type of card.
