Does each free green user cards added to the Biz Plat still receive the 85/100 credit for GE & tsa pre?
Common sense is not a gift, it is a punishment.
Because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

Yes. You can always get your statement cut date changed to a later date in the month

I opened a amax Platinum a free years ago, and got an fr right away, so as per the advice the DDF I cancelled my cards because I did not have the tax documents they requested.
I wanted to try my luck at signing up again but at the end of the process I got a message that I already had the card so I am no longer eligible for the bonus anything I can do?

I have received the signup bonus on the amex biz a few years ago. Today I received a preapproval offer in the mail. I Cannot find any lifetime language in it. does that make sense?  Will I get the bonus if I reapply now with the invitation code?

Can you suggest a good way to cash out/transfer out points?

Amex currently offers:
Hilton 1000 = 2,800
Virgin Atlantic 1000 = 1,300
Jet Blue 1000 = 1,000

Is Hilton the best option from above?
