Is it still a thing to call or message AMEX and see what they think you've had to know if maybe they mumped up and could still get these?

yeah, just secure message them on the website. I think they actually have a live chat. my list of cards was like 4 miles long and included the same one about 10 times from back when you could churn them (even though the terms said you couldn't). just got the SPG biz amex for mrs. dave because she never had the biz for some reason.

Any card offer this lucrative tends not to last. Last week, Chase said it would cut the 100,000-point bonus in half for anyone who applied online after Jan. 12 or in a branch (which isn’t possible for people in parts of the country where there are no Chase branches) after March 12. To be safe, the company suggests applying online by Jan. 11, before it flips the switch the next day.

Tried the CSR again online and denial. 11/24 per the Rep on the phone. Trying a Hail Mary at the branch and fully expect to be denied. Will report back

@GoodForAnother, report?

Sorry I've been interviewing for a promotion, selling a house and buying a house and then prepping to move 500 miles so I haven't been on. I got shut down hard in branch

spg back to 35k maybe for the last time. if you haven't had the personal or biz version now would be the time to get them as they are both going away. biz won't count against your 5/24. I can refer someone to the biz (as soon as the card arrives so in like a couple days) so PM if interested :fatty:

What if I had SPG personal >2 yrs ago?

It's ok. I could never be mad at SD.

I knew better. SD is always very precise with words re: churning for a reason.

URs transfer to United at a 1:1 ratio don't they?  Looking at flights, if I book through the United site it will cost me 50,000 points but if I book through the Chase portal it will be around 84,000.  Since this would be the first time transferring points to a partner, I want to make sure I don't screw it up.
