Sightly OT rant:

Some guy was sitting next to me at the DDF seminar, when I told him the days of Amex matching to 100k for all are dead he insisted that he got an offer in the mail for 100k. I said: So what? the Amex matching gravy train is still dead" he took the offer out of his pocket and started shoving it in my face:  "here, wanna see". Poor guy didn't get what I was saying...

Poor guy got a targeted offer though and thus could care less what you were saying.

  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

HUH? That is a 1 time offer vs 4 times a year (or more). He's an idiot no matter which way you look at it. (Happens to be I know the guy)

It stays in your account if you have other MR cards. Green and Gold allow for airline transfers. The others like Zync don't allow transfers but save it for when you get another Plat/Gold card

Did this answer the PM?

You can

but wait until you've gotten your $200 airline credits and all your MR points are out of pending mode.

Churn card

How long after meeting the 3k spend on the regular plat in days/weeks did it take for you to get the 50k points?

If I would like to do a 2bm on a new platinum and gold, do I have to cancel my current ones?
