10k spend kills the deal, I like the hit and run signup bonuses.
Huh? We're talking about the AMEX Plat in this thread.

Whoops, my bad, confused the 2.

Should I even bother trying to churn if it's been less than 30 days since I closed the account?

YMMV.  Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

I've had the card a few times in the past already.  The fee is always the same, $450, refunded if canceled within 60 days of billing or prorated after that point.
No problem getting the points each time.

so if i open the account spend 1k in the first month then cancel the card after i receive and pay the first bill will i still get the points at a later time assuming i have another card opened?

I applied for Platinum on January 28, Starwood and Gold on February 8, spent, earned and closed 30 days later. I also applied for all 3 Citibanks in February and got United Chase card this month. I’m afraid if I take another swing at Platinum this month, I will get too many credit inquiries. How long does Amex hold a grudge if they give me that “too many inquiries”? Is it just another 30 days and worth taking the chance? Or better to stay put and not overdue it?

If I risked 3 hard pulls for the cap1 offer, I'd risk 1 for 50k MR.

Okay, so my question is if Amex says no because too many requests, how long does it take them to forgive you so you can apply again? 30 days or more or YMMV?

Yup, as a matter of fact the last 3 times I applied for a Platinum or Gold I did a SPG at same time and got approved and only got one pull for it. I really learned that from you when you said you did 3 SPG business apps at same time  ;)

I'm going for a targeted Amex gold Biz 50k, and the Amex plat, should I do it together on two browsers?

I want to apply for the Plat but got FR'ed back in October - they cut my lines but kept all the a/c's open.  Has anyone had any experience applying for new cards after being FR'ed?

Anyone have experience what's the minimum Amex makes you wait after you get a "too many inquiries"? AsherO, you say more then 30 days. Any idea how much more? Really have a lot of requests last few months but thinking of taking one more swing at Platinum on MArch 31. But if Amex punishes me for 4-6 months, then I'd rather get a few Gold 25K or SPG 10K offers along the way and not take the chance. Thanks

I'm going to apply for the amex plat, any ideas on another card to apply for the same day? If it's true that the inquiries would be combined, it would seem to make sense. What other Amex card has a big signup offer? The SPG card is 10k, it doesn't look very high, There is also an offer for the hilton amex for 50k miles, but I don't think that's much either, based on the point requirement.
