I only have a credit limit of $1000 how do I go about spending $4500?
The safest way is to make a purchase and then pay it back in middle of the month on amex.com or if you call them they can push through a payment the same day as the purchase instead of waiting a couple days to pay it online.

You can also prepay from your bank, but this is a known F/R trigger.

Is it best to pay off all your CCs/Charge Cards in the middle of the month?

That depends on how much of your cl you're using. Sometimes it's best to pay mid-month so that to keep your utilization low.

On amex.com it doesn't allow me to make a payment until my statement closes. Is there anything wrong with me making a payment using my banks bill pay before the statement closes or is that also a F/R trigger?

Has anyone applied for the consumer and business at the same time? Is it even possible?

9k spend would be a bitch to meet though in 3 months, likely to get FRed while doing it too.

Why? Only if you have a history of not using your cc that much.  Many people put 3k plus on their cc a month and with business cards some people put way more.

That's not true.  As soon as a charge posts to your account you can go to pay now, enter in any amount up to your outstanding balance, and you can pay it right then.
If you call AMEX you can even pay for pending charges.

@bubbles
Are you still in middle of your first billing cycle? That could be why you can't make the payment online try calling.

If you don't see the 30K offer than try another browser or clear your browser's cache/cookies or use incognito/in-private mode.

The business 30K application is showing 10K+20K at front page, but once you click Continue, it'll revert back to the old 10K+15K offer, what's going on?

I'm in IE "InPrivate" mode, so I don't think it's cookie issue. It's even showing 10K+15K at frontpage now.

I have an SPG card and I opened up a new account without closing the one that I had already and I was appoved.
I hope that I will get all the bonus points!
