You pay through the GE site and it will be credited by Amex.

How to avoid getting denied in store with AMex for large purchase, especially right after receiving card?

With Chase can call and ask them to note a large spend. With citi they text right away to ask if its legit.

Do these work with AMex? How about if you are logged into the app?

Thanks,
So you login to your account, swipe, it gets denied, a message pops up on your screen asking if legit, you confirm, swipe again?

I just did it yesterday. You swipe your card - assuming it gets declined- then log into the Amex app. There will be a message on the top of the screen asking to confirm the swipe. You put in the 4 digit security code, and then you should be good to go.

I have MR in my account, but now for a new Biz card they opened another MR account. Do I need to link them somehow? Is there any advantage not linking?

If I get the ameriprise platinum, am I still eligible to receive the bonus on the personal/business platinum? Or are they the same product?
