applied for everyday and spg, both where pending for afew seconds, then everyday was declined (carrying high bal this month). I called they say spg has to stay pending for 5 days because only 1 app can be answered at a time.i huca'd and got same response any ideas?
Side note: Amex' pet peeve is high balances.
then they should give more then a few days notice before they kill a card, so i can get my affairs in order.
Offer is still live, maybe there is hope...
its over amex website shows welcome offer as $100 statement credit after 1k spend
I'm still not convinced that the biz card is actually over, there is no chance that an SPG SUB won't be back.
What makes you so confident of that?
They can't be killing the card that bad.
well they could be counting on their luxury card to be inciting enough for people ...seems like there shifting most of the focus there
But remember Chase has a personal card too, and a luxury one too (Ritz), so their edge over Chase is the Biz card only.And making the card 2ppd, doesn't seem to be focusing it all on there.
i hear ya maybe they think the 2ppd alone is enough to keep people coming or you could be right and when new card comes out they'll pick up bonus but to to a higher statement credit not points. Don't forget they just ran a higher SUB that very well could have been them giving everyone one last chance.
@Dan You mentioned on DDMS that you can have more than 1 of the same SPG card. I got a personal through last night and then tried again same night, and it was flagged as duplicate. Tried again this morning and same thing. Any tips?
We have no way of knowing, but I wouldn't be surprised I'd they bring back a points SUB, or over a lower point amount, with some sort of SC.And the increased bonuses always came around, so it isn't indicative about "a last chance"
Dan mentioned in DD post yesterday that if you’re already an Amex customer there’s no hard credit pull, is that something new? (Not been following for a while) Does that mean there’s no point in apporama with amex anymore?
