Sorry for not updating. Breathe easy. It posted just it took way longer than it did in the past. Might be a fluke. Going to try again for the other 2 x $50 and see how long it takes.

Random DP, not sure if this has been said previously, but the extra .5 points from purchases of 5k+ on the BP, post with the charge, not at statement close.

Is having multiple biz platinum cards a flag for an FR?

Unlikely, in the sense that it is the same risk as one Amex Plat and one Amex Gold.

Both DW and I MR accounts are frozen... Mine was fine as of Apr 2 (my last date of transfer). Never do MS or return and close cards on either MR account.

We didn't have platinums in over a year, but i'm posting this here because this thread probably sees the most action related to freezing.

Tried calling and got the usual shpeel "6 - 8 weeks" - should i let it run it's course? No point in calling?

Dumb question, but does trying to transfer again slow the process down? Or restart it? I guess that's probably unknown.

Doesn't make a difference if it's frozen it's frozen
You could always chat with a rep to see if it's still frozen

trying to transfer doesn't hurt. I had a frozen mr account and I tried every day to transfer to see if the review is done. After 2 weeks I tried my luck and called in to try to do a transfer and believe it or not it worked!

Was it unfrozen,or the transfer went through while frozen?

im not sure! How would I know? I tried the day before online and it was still frozen. And the next day it worked over the phone. Now it might have passed the review right before I called but I don't know.

I dont know if this was a fluke or a change, but I had a few >$5k charges this month and the bonus .5x did not post right away with the charge, rather they are lumped together with the rest of the statement now under "Pending Points".
