Im sorry I meant I closed it down... Wrong wording...

With the similar offer on the business gold, that hasn't been an issue. YMMV as always.

Based on the T&C of the above link I, an existing card holder, can open and receive the bonus as well
When you guys say 'based on T&C, no language'.. Do you mean that you will use this to fight for your points if they don't post automatically? Or does that mean that Amex will put the points automatically into ur account without you needing to call in??

My guess is that they will fight you tooth and nail to avoid you getting those points. Legally you would probably be entitled though. Someone with experience want to confirm this?

Right, so when the 'experts' answer YMMV, what are the chances you win/lose the points?? Is it just a 50/50 sort of luck, or 80/20... Im sorry if I'm being too technical here...

I personally would gave my opinion, but being that I haven't tried it, I'll stop talking

in the past if you use a no language application you automatically get the points. No need to fight. But again it's not guaranteed but what do you lose by trying?

The AF and 5k of spending that I could've put on a more profitable card...

I'm not sure but I'd assume so.

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

Credit pull/ Amex FR/ Account shut down... Just afraid, I don't do this every day... I had the Amex Biz Plat less than a year ago (along with the Personal Plat, and PRG) , and I have 90K points in my account, Points value with double... I guess I should just go for it.

True say. Most of the spending requirements, I complete on the first statement anyway.

Using Doctor of Credit's online link... It takes me to the application, so I guess that means it will work... Just afraid of online links...

I just say YMMV because just because something worked in the past doesn't mean it'll work in the future and I've given definitive statements in the past, things change and people get angry at me. Impossible to put into percentage terms, but again it has worked in the past so chances are it won't change.

Amex business platinum 75k after $5k spend. No language. Targeted offer.


https://www262.americanexpress.com/business-card-application/member/business-platinum-charge-card/login/44442-101-1-CAPOBPLATC

Targeted offer, will say systems are down if you're not targeted. Spend requirement is 5k instead of 15k for 100k offer and it doesn't have once per lifetime language :).

Enjoy.
Thanks doc!
