Which thread?
Many questions in this thread as well as others, - I don't mind some cynicism and making fun but would appreciate if someone can answer the question too

For Chase is it still 6 months from the date you're charged your annual fee to get it refunded?

It was more of a question why he didn't mention it in his post (sorry for being unclear, I used the amex biz plat for my GE)

Even if you already have GE, sign someone up. It's 100 free points.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

Thanks. I see they're offering 40,000 bonus miles for $3,000 in 90 days. How does it work to get cash out of their points?

You don't get points for it because it gets refunded.

Buy refundable tickets, use points towards charge, and cancel ticket for refund.

IME, if the charge gets refunded before the statement prints, you won't get spend points for that purchase. Was your experience different?
