Also got email for 50k for Gold business,
after spending on both they told me that no bonus because I have the card. I pushed because both didn't have language and both didn't have pop ups. They said they will investigate. ( I just got  2 more personal cards that same week, so I hope no flags now...  :()
UPDATE: B'H they posted it today

I have the Ink card with a $2k spending limit , for around 7 years. I dont know why, but they wont raise me. Never been late on a payment but I do reuse the credit, since it is not enough for me monthly. I know this is a big no no, is it better if I prepay them , get a negative balance and then do the charges?

If one payed minimum payment on chase but only paid statement balance a few days after due date, what interest are they charged, for the few days, for the whole statement period? Does it effect at all any interest calculation after the statement balance is paid?

I remember seeing somewhere that the company itself is the one the charges.
Wait to hear from someone with experience

When using the pay yourself back program it states:
" Once you redeem any amount of points to a purchase for a statement credit, it will no longer be listed as an eligible purchase."
Any issue if I redeem points against a purchase that helped me reach the spend threshold for SUB?

It is just no longer an eligible purchase for the pay yourself back program.
If it benefits even just one fellow DDFer, its worth posting it.

That just means you can't redeem points against the same charge multiple times. I once heard that the Capital One Venture allows you to.

Posted in old thread no replies so figure will try here:)

Amex Marriott Brilliant Card
The $300 credit is annual or after I get the AF?
And Just got the AF (card was an upgrade from reg last year) can I downgrade and then apply for the card or I wont be eligible for signup bonus as I had this card already?

In general im pretty sure amex has a once in a lifetime policy for SUB. Although some of had success after 7 years...
Update. I just realized you said you never actually got the bonus on the specific card so I have no idea
Still looking for a good MS method :)

You can redeem them against cc charges but I think that rate is even lower than paying with points at amazon.
Workflowy. You won't know what you're missing until you try it.
