The point would be to avoid it affecting his other new cards.

truth is their partners aren't  innocent either.  :P. For instance officially the the Delta business 70k offer is dead. Thought I found the below link, don't know how legit it is.

Please don't post links of things that may not supposed to be public.
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 hear your point. Any way to determine  the legitimacy of a link?

Can I chat to change my airline choice? If not, what number can I call? Will the change be effective immediately (so I can use the 50% rebate)?

I booked travel that qualifies for the 200 credit just now but I forgot to choose the airline on Amex, if I choose now will it still count?

Choose the airline now, it should work but YMMV.

Select airline now. You should be fine. If not, chat to apply the credit.

I've been asked for a boarding pass every time I've visited a lounge over the past year, which has been several dozen trips to Centurion, Priority Pass, and airline clubs.
