Misc Credit Card Questions

If I book a United flight TLV-EWR using my United Explorer Card would I get priority boarding in TLV?

from online it seems like you don't even need to use the card to get priority boarding
from here

The primary Cardmember and companions on the same reservation will be invited to board United-operated flights prior to general boarding. To receive priority boarding, just add your MileagePlus number to your reservation and refer to your United boarding pass for your boarding group number.

Are there any threads dedicated to biz CCs? Or is it all included in the AOR thread and the like?
Also, any thread about current amex sign up bonus rules?

Thanks.
There it just says that the spending on a biz card does not go on your CR, and that your credit line does not show.
I understood from

AFAIK almost all biz cards (even those issued by Chase) don't count towards 5/24 as they don't show up on CR.
(Some biz cards do show up, do your research).

that it doesn't show at all.
What am I missing?
Does the hard pull also not show?

The hard pull shows but unless the card goes delinquent it doesn't report to the CRAs

[eliraps]

Yes. Call the CBs to have the AUs removed.

Do I have to first get a copy of my CR before speaking to them?

No

No

+1, they didn't ask me how I knew I had two pulls. When they ask for your report number, say you don't have and offer SS number. If they do ask you can say you have a credit monitoring service.

Don't need anything now, thanks. Was asking if I should bother scanning and saving in case I need in future or is doing that worthless cuz Amex keeps changing and they have themselves covered in case someone would want to sue or s/t...

Downgrade and reapply immediately?
Since time back, MeirS, had a theory about Barclays churning that was popular, not sure the details or if it's still accurate.

People can make whatever theory they want, that doesn't constitute "rules".

Ok. So what is people's common experience? How long should one wait to have high chances of getting sign up bonus?

If you're approved, you'll get the bonus.

Will it be a trigger to make a CC payment with a third party check made out to Amex? It would be two checks, one for each account. This is not my normal mode of payment.
