My father applied for a Schwab Plat via a targeted email that came directly from Schwab (100K after $5K spend).

He hadn't received the points a few weeks after hitting the spend, so I chatted with amex (on his account) and they said that there are notes on the account that he is ineligible for the welcome bonus due to the following language on the offer:

"Welcome offer not available to applicants who have or have had this Card. We may also consider the number of American Express Cards you have opened and closed as well as other factors in making a decision on your welcome offer eligibility."

Chat rep said he should have been notified of this during sign up. My father says that he never had a Schwab plat before and that he did not see any popup while applying that said he was ineligible (although it could be that there was one and he just ignored it).

Is there any recourse? Any specific number he should call and would it help?
Anyone know?

If you escalate, they can put in a research request. Chat should work or number on the back of the card. Based on similar DPs it appears that their system sometimes decides after the fact that you aren't eligible after all.

Is there any way to check when it has renewed?

I am buying a timeshare resale (as opposed to direct from the timeshare company), and the seller is requesting the purchase price up-front prior to the transfer of title. The seller is reputable so I'm not too worried, but I would still like to know that I have protection in the event that the entire transaction is a scam, or I am not delivered what was promised.

My questions are as follows:
1) The purchase price is around $20k. Is there any cap on purchase protection?
2) Would this transaction be covered by purchase protection? (Technically it's a purchase of real-estate as I would be deeded a portion of a unit)
3) Which CC company offers the best protection?

PS: Don't worry about the purchase of a timeshare. I know what I'm doing. It's a Disney timeshare, so it has value, unlike 99% of the other companies.

Thanks!

If I have a claim approved through Amex returns, does the purchase amount for that item still count towards the signup bonus?

Officially, it probably does not, as t would be considered a return. I can't tell you what will actually happen though. I would definitely not count it, just to be safe, unless you specifically hear otherwise from someone with experience.
