got a 50K personal offer, with 5k spend I can't find any 12 month language. does that make sense?
I currently have a business plat, and a total of 6 cards. should I close one before applying?
I can't remember if I ever had a personal plat, anyway to check?

Yes, everyone is getting this offer. No lifetime language apparent (12 month language doesn't exist anymore). Should be fine, whether or not you've had plat before.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

if you never had a platinum you should apply for the 100/3k offer

I don't think proxy will help, it's your browser cookies, just use incognito.

I just spoke with a CSR and since I am not sure if I can trust her, I thought I would ask here. Thanks for your help! So my understanding after speaking to her was if I ever have a balance before my statement closes, it will generate a normal statement in which I have 30 days to pay the balance before the next statement is generated. Otherwise, I would be assessed all kinds of fees if I don't pay the balance. Is this correct? Also, if you have a statement balance with this card, I am assuming it is reported to the credit bureau, but how will that work though if there is no pre-set credit limit? TIA

I applied for a personal plat, and was not approved because I already have one. I asked the rep to downgrade the current plat to green, but he said I can only downgrade to gold. Is that correct, or HUCA? Thanks.

Thanks. Done. Now she said she needs to transfer me to "membership services". Should I hold, or HUCA?
