How much credit did you receive in opening credit limit with Amex Platinum?

Average?

How much did you receive?


Thanks in advance!
the plat card is a charge card. Meaning it does not come with a limit and you must pay off in full monthly.

Well, I can tell you it's possible to get approved for both. I can also tell you that it's possible to get denied for both, or any other combination thereof.

As for triggering an F/R, I don't think this will do it in and of itself.

I met spend on my plat in the morning, and by nighttime the same day the bonus had posted.

Never seen a bonus post so fast.

It can be harder to explain if you need recon to approve 2 of the same type of cards like that.
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.

Hey Y'all, so I screwed up and got approved for biz plat with 25k for 5k spend.  Now I see this offer!!  I called and asked them to match it but they turned me down.  Do I keep trying?

Also how do you get around the 12 month limit? Any good ideas?

TIA

No they won't match you, it's not even the same product line.

I had the same exact problem with my last 50k.  Even after multiple HUCAs and SMs, I could not get them to budge and had to wait the full 8 weeks.

Did they then have to issue the points manually after 8 weeks or did they automatically come?  Looks like I may be in the same situation on my current Plat.  This is the first time the points didn't come right away (within a week of spend).

1 day after week number 8 I called and then they manually issued them.

Does the AA gift card trick work towards the 1k minimum spend to get the 50k MR?

If the timing is right, YMMV. If you can't hit a $1k spend requirement, you're not cut out for this game.
