I had a targeted offer when I login to my account for the business platinum $5K/75K - $10K/100K I just got the card 2 weeks ago, there's a new offer in my account now of just $5K/75K

is it even worth applying for it or is there no chance I will get the points

Assuming u didn't get the bonus yet, finish spending on this card, and then do the spend on the targeted offer, it should work

Wait until the points post from the original sign up offer and then upgrade.

These offers usually have no language, although you should obviously double check.

I am having issues with PGGM.

I upgraded 6 card in Nov as well as applied for 3 new ones. in total (existing before this last apporama) is 12 platinum cards.

In Nov/Dec I was pretty unsuccessful in my PGGM. I got like 3 credits only. I assured myself that i possibly got the credit on the card last January and subsequently downgraded.

However, I tried now again and it didn't trigger.
Im to lazy to attach  a screen shot, but not only didn't it trigger the cost of the flights stayed on my card even after I cancelled the flight.

Am I the only one having this issue.
