PRG 50K offer
« on: August 09, 2012, 09:40:46 AM »
I noticed 15 envelopes in the mail room of my building yesterday with a signup offer of 50K and 1st year fee waived for the PRG, which normally carries a 25K bonus at the moment. The mailings were all targeted, and I'm aware that Amex no longer matches offers (not like I didn't try), but I'd imagine if there was a mass mailing of it that there may be a public link sometime soon. Just something to keep in mind if its a card you plan on applying for in the near future.

I don't think that them targeting ppl translates into them opening it for all.

It may be worth calling and asking them because it was mailed to your address so it could be more likely that you would be approved. Idk if it will work but it can't hurt to try.

Same address might mean it'll work for you, perhaps you should chat up a neighbor...

No such thing as 3 best offers but PRG - SPG - Delta are good cards.

50k Plat (if you can find a working link)

50k MB Plat

SPG

Also consider DL 70k (I think it's dead), and I think there's a fresh 65k Hilton, not worth it IMHO.

With a 2bm, I don't think so. Considering the rules have recently changed, I'll go with the safe YMMV. I'd try it though.

There could be a conflict between the 2 plat cards. YMMV.
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.

My experience of last week shows you won't get the bonus on both, the reg Plat and MB.
So pick either (MB).
Love me or hate me. I still love you.

Just applied spg+mb plat+reg plat.  First all 3 apps said 7-10 days. Then 2 emails. spg approved. Reg plat still pending. Went to status page spg and reg plat approved and mb plat cancelled because of duplicate.  So I quickly filled out an app for  hilton 5Ok which is pending.
