Just wanted to pipe in that its only fair for people to wait until Dan posts the link so he can get credit for it. Its his site & work after all.

+1, true, I didn't mean to take away a mans good benefit, I deleted my post.

Indeed. Dan is the reason I waited to apply. Was going to do it a few days ago.

To quickly prepare myself, though: if one's house is in order, he or she should apply for both personal and business on the same day to have only one hard pull, correct?

You are referring to the program that ended ages ago? Or did they restart it without telling me  :D

As I asked last night, what other Amex consumer cards should I go for on a 2 or 3bm when I go for my new SPG?
I want to stock up on Amex cards b/c of the backdating. My Green Card is 22 years old! It is my only active consumer card with Amex. I have two business cards with the but that is irrelevant to my question. Any guidance? I want to pounce on this 30k SPG deal.

Why only consumer cards?
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

That's great.  Now try SMing for the match and if they agree you'll get matched AND 3k points bonus.
I'm a little slow at this but can someone help me and tell me how to SM Amex?
