Thanks

What is the “early spend” and how does it give 2500?
sign up bonuses and there's an offer on the platunum biz for 250k points

This guy says he’s offering $1k and covering the annual fee with no spending required, all you need to do is to apply.

Sounds fishy. What am I missing?

Oh good. More farms.
I'm sure it will end well this time.

@Dan what other time are you referencing, and how did it go south?

I have a Schwab account and am contemplating applying for Amex Plat.  I know the annual fee is $699 and the current bonus is 125k.
Given that I don't want to keep the card after I get the bonus, would I have to pay $699 now and in 1 year for a total of $1398?  Trying to look at the cost/benefit of the card to determine if it is even worth it.

Get it now so you can double dip for 2024 and 2025 it’ll cost $695 and after the year try calling and see if they can give you a retention offer if not you can downgrade..

Does anyone have a DP regarding adding an additional platinum card holder and then cancelling it within the month?

Got Bus Gold and Bus Platinum within last 6 months.
Not eligible for reg platinum bonus (I never had the personal platinum card).
How long do I need to wait to be eligible? I know YMMV but does anyone have past experience that can give me an idea of what to expect?
Much appreciated!

Do statement credits subtract from spend amount towards a SUB? I see initially at least they count the full amount towards the threshold and give the SUB even a few weeks after the credit have been given. Will such a thing be reversed at some point? Is this something that can get clawed back?

I don't think statement credits are an issue. But reversed charged/returns can result in claw backs.

Seems like this is pop up jail. Any method to getting out aside from using the card consistently?

I'm sure it has been asked a billion times, but I have no clue how to search for it. Are there any data points on Amex shutting down/financial review if you change the LLC name on an offer (biz plat 250k) you have received .

TIA

Does a saks giftcard/egiftcard bought online trigger the credit or needs to be in store ?
