"The benefit is available to Consumer and Business Platinum Card and Centurion members only and applies when the Card member selects the "Global Entry" program. Other program applications including, but not limited to, NEXUS, SENTRI, and Privium are not eligible for the statement credit. "

Not sure what's new here.

Amex Platinum: Best Capture of $200 Credit?
« Reply #2146 on: May 28, 2013, 11:39:12 PM »
Wow, there are a lot of choices for capturing that $200 credit!  :)
Even ways to ultimately get the $200 as a statement & then a check issued: cash! ;)

I'm looking for the easiest/fastest way to get $200 worth of flight credit.
I'm thinking of simply getting a UAL Gift Certificates for each of the AmEx Platinum Cards I'm juggling.
1 purchase of $220 (so there's some payment required...) on each card & then wait for the $200 credit.
http://www.united.com/CMS/en-US/products/travelproducts/Pages/GiftCertificates.aspx
Any advice? Please post or PM me.
Thank you! :)

Is there a link that anyone knows for a 50K PRG? Right now it is 25K and the card looks good for basic needs?

Thanks,
David

Biz cards can be downgraded to the Blue Biz card with no AF. there is also a personal Blue card that I was offered when  cancelling a DL card but I declined . Mistake I think !

Not sure if this is legal or how we can get Dan a cut, but CreditCards.com has the creditmatch tool and it is showing 250 back for the blue preferred, but blue for biz looks lame to me, but I am a newbie at this. The personal blue cards are cash back cards - not points
