Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

$1300 if you don't have Global entry yet. ($1500 if you apply at the EOY)

Also, how does the lounge access program they advertise compare to the Plat and Citi?

Eta: the whole $1000 ticket thing seems to be marketing bs to hit Amex.
It's a %2 cash back card. No matter what you redeem for those 50,000 "points" will be a $1k statement credit (verified by the T&C)
Especially silly since booking a ticket with the points has tons of restrictions (see the terms, it's almost funny)

If they refund the AF this may be a really good card to get in December. Will be even better if the lounge access works after closing.. (Eta: seems like it does)

More interesting stuff from the gold card terms:

Quote
Airfare rewards redemptions start at 50 points ($1.00) and can be redeemed in increments of 50 points thereafter.Cash back statement credit redemptions start at 50 points ($1.00) and can be redeemed in increments of 50 points thereafter.


Your Account cannot have been inactive for 6 billing cycles in a row (representing approximately 6 months). Inactive means you have no balance, no payments and no transactions.

+1 if the AF is refundable I may take the plunge. $1200 for a TU pull is worth it in my books

Someone want to call and see if they refund?
And if there are any prerequisites?

Seemed like his point was pointing out that they are quoting TPG to show their point, which I was saying was already pointed out earlier. (I think TPG's valuations were even used for legal purposes before, but I don't remember where I saw that.)

No churning this card.

Does Barclay's reinforce these things?

As long as it hasn't been tried T&Cs are worthless.

The rule is that you have 60 days to cancel and get refunded.
But Barclays can be very interesting...

Call recon

What recon?

The rule is that you have 3 months from when it posts to cancel and get refunded.

Thanks. I called and asked the rep to confirm with a rep that she is correct about it being 3 months. Could be they were both wrong.
