$100 is a nice chunk of cash 😊

My statement just closed and I don't see the points for 20K spend. I did receive the 150K bonus right after I met the spending. Should I call customer service?

Is it pretty hard now to get Amex to accelerate pending points even after you've paid your bill in full?

I see only 352 points pending and I think its from my blue card. When the points are pending, how long does it take to confirm?

After pending the points post on the following statement unless they're expedited.

If I got an offer from someone with just the RSVP code (not the zipcode), can I apply over the phone?

Pretty sure it can be done without it.

Yes
But not online, right? I'm worried the guy used it online already (and a bit upset he didn't tell me).

Always like that, business offers don't show the bonus when using a RSVP online.

I requested a negative balance transfer to another card, which had less than a $200 balance. They transferred the amount of the balance on the other card ($20), and removed the rest (it just said credit balance removal). Now I'm down $180. PUTPAC?
ETA: They told me there's a check in the mail. Now i feel stupid for calling. (I have $1000 in straight credits in the last couple of weeks. I was trying to avoid humans.)
