Is it possible to use someone else's targeted offer? They tell me on the phone the name can't be changed. Is it a matter of huca? Any tried and true excuses?

Care to expound? I've read numerous threads, attempted to search, but can't seem to find anything. If it's not spoken about explicitly, then I apologize.

I just saw an offer for 75k points after $15k spend. Two months ago, I got the BGR card with the 50k bonus, but now I want to capitalize on the 75k BGR bonus AND the 75k platinum bonus. Can I apply now or should I wait another month? I have a business with an TIN and I work as a sole proprieter under my own name as well. Can I apply for the 75k BGR bonus under my own social (since I used my TIN two months ago) and then apply for two platinum cards? Never took the game to this level but I am eager to go on a first class trip with the husband. :)

You can apply, but you won't get the bonus.

Doesn't seem to even give you hertz 5 star, but you can match national executive to hertz five star.
How?

Is there any reason to get a secondary cardholder for $175/month. Any benefit which can be accessed twice?

Any confirmed reports of people getting second bonuses on Plat and gold offers without the 12 month wording?
Many people are saying that you would get the bonus but multiple people claim to have not received it

You misunderstood @PETERP's question.
