AmEx A/A'ing Blue Cash Cards

[lunatic]

 
Considering that they max out new cards at 50k per year,  it would seem that would be OK. Now cm will ask,  "that's what morning, what about afterwards?"

Take into account that the first $6500 only gives you 1% on groceries. So if you did (let's say) 12k spending a year, you'd average at <3%.

My $6500 went so quick that I forgot about it... Good point though...

Close and open another one?

Hit it as hard as you can for as long as you can.

If it could potentially affect my other Amex accounts, then that doesn't sound like a good idea. My question is whether anyone knows what level of expenditures or large purchases will draw Amex's negative attention?

If someone tells you they know they are either a liar or an idiot.

I just noticed that on EX it does not seem to show the card as closed by bank. Is that normal?

can be both too!

I suppose that would take care of the afternoon

That is where DW and kids come into play.

Has anyone has any luck recently getting Amex to release the cash award earned after they were shut down?

If you hear anything, please let me know.

Anyone know if spending the first $6,500 on serve would qualify for reaching the threshold?
Similar to the way serve doesn't earn points but does count toward minimum spend threshold on other amex cards.

If you hear anything, please let me know via PM.

So should i be expecting a PM from someone?

Bump.

Can anyone let me know either way and save me the hassle of adding $6,500 using serve only to find out it doesn't qualify?

Not getting a PM would be a good thing in this case.

Add some.  Call/ chat with amex to see how much of the threshold you've accomplished.  See if they counted the serve spending.

Thanks for the suggestion. I called and chatted with Amex, but both times the reps were unfamiliar with this card (it's more like a legacy card which they don't advertise anymore) and were unable to give me the amount of spending I have completed so far. I guess I will have to wait and see what happens when the next statement closes, if there is anyway to tell from the actual statement.

I'm surprised no one else tried this before or posted about it, I can't find anything on FT either.
