Nice! You got 10k on each or 10k total?
Each, 20k total.

amex wont match they do give courtesy points
from DoC
Don’t message, online representatives do not have the ability to award courtesy points.
Call and say you’re disappointed that a new higher bonus became available so recently after you applied.
The first representative will probably offer you 3,000 points. Ask politely to be escalated to a manager and repeat your disappointment in American Express due to the bonus change.
The manager has the ability to award the 10,000 point difference, they won’t always offer it but they should offer at least 5,000 points. Remember to stay polite but push for the 10,000 point difference.
I got only 3k should I call again?

I just called up and she said she is putting a request through with her promotions team to see if she can match it. Should I HUCA or wait it out?

Should've told him you're going to Mike's for dinner. He would've given more :)

HUCA. "request" is meaningless.

I want to open SPG personal and amex plat biz.

Can I apply for both in 1 day on a single pull? will recent chase and citi cards opened affect approval?
