Workflowy. You won't know what you're missing until you try it.

my mistake - it's actually in the F/R wiki!

I see. Only one report since Nov. 2010, I wouldn't be worried, and as seen there, if you change the amounts it shouldn't be a problem.
I try my best :-\

You could reopen it the next day too and avoid the AF for another year, but why do you want this card so badly? I've been asking around since AMEX churning news broke and it seems like the only way to collect points now is via spending (or churning the biz with the 12 month wait). The card itself doesn't get you very high status, so why do you want it if, as you said, you don't use it.
You can also ms for points

I thought you're not supposed to use AMEX for AP?

IMO one of the most overcautious misconceptions in this game

Does anyone have a screen shot of the 30,000 point offer from June? I can't seem to find mine and did not receive the bonus on my business cards. Thank you

Wait hold up. I just read somewhere that there is a 2:1 point ratio when transferring from SPG to United. Any confirmation?

Yes. 2 SPG = 1 United.
Why would you ever want to do that?

Transferred spg to AA 10 days ago and it still didn't show up in my acct. What should I do? I called them and they said I'll get an email. Never got.

I assume it didn't transfer though.
