Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

I know there have been changes on what is being coded as a fee for the personal and biz plat cards. In the past I just purchased $200 of Amazon Cards through the United Portal or bought American Airlines Gift Certificates on AA.com

What still works now? (apologies if this has been covered -- I'm just tuning in)

FWIW my goal is to either get Amazon Gift cards or get AA/United etc. gift cards and sell them for cash.

So in my case 2 x $100 AA gift cards on the Biz Plat and then 2 x $100 AA on the personal plat should work?

United Mileage Portal --> Amazon doesn't anymore.

How much time do I have to cancel a personal platinum? I recall a post on DDMs that is Amex was cutting down but can't seem to find it?
I am sometimes accused of overthinking things. I am still mulling over whether that accusation has merit.

Effective January 1, 2017, you will be charged a late fee if we do not receive your payment by the Payment Due Date shown on your billing statement...

my due date is jan 2 (Next Closing Date Jan 8.)
I got charged a LATE FEE of $27!!

obviously I called them up and got it refunded...

does that mean I have another month to pay since i got charged already?!  ;)

(btw am I the first to get this LATE FEE?)

If you want to get a late payment reported to the CB and pay interest than sure.
