I love credit cards so much! v5.0 - 2022 (see first page for add'l details)

Chase couldn’t get ahold of allegiant and we’ve been unable to also. Dh sat on hold for over 3 hours tonight with no answer and hung up

I don't have helpful advice, but I just want to say that I'm so sorry that you're having so many issues with this trip.

Just wanted to let you know DH just got the same upgrade offer on his Biz Gold 140k/10k to Biz Plat. I’ve been checking daily hoping he’d get it. He’s had the Biz Gold for 6 months. Have you seen it on your account yet?

Nice! Not luck here, but thanks for the tag.

Do you currently hold a biz plat (before the upgrade)? DH and I both have open biz plats. Plus we've both run into the dreaded pop-up. So not too surprised to not be targeted.

My travel saga continues. Ended up spending the night in my home airport after they boarded the plane and then realized they couldn’t get the plane de-iced at 1:00 am. At least I was able to get rebooked for 5:00 am, which ironically was my original flight that I rebooked because of the storm. But at least I’m not the poor young couple arguing with Southwest because they’re going to miss their flight to LON because they can’t get repositioned for that flight. Boarding the plane again now and hoping for better de-icing results this time. And note to self: I know better than to check my carry-on!

Just a data point- I chatted yesterday to cancel my Amex Plat. I am not a heavy traveler and got the card two years ago to help earn MRs for a trip to Hawaii. I am now trimming my cards with large annual fees since I don’t really need the credits. We have a massive amount of SW points and dvc points so no need to keep the card.

I did get a retention offer last year, not sure of the date. I was offered 45,000MR for $4000 spend in 3 months. I declined. Not a horrible deal but I am a dangling low fruit credit churner and just don’t want to be bothered with the plat to get the full value. (I was offered 9 months at 0% interest first)

Im sorry for all of you having travel issues. I hope everyone gets to where they want to be safely.

Sorry to hear you’ve had such a terrible time trying to get to IA. I’m currently sitting at my home airport for a delayed SW flight. Weather here is TERRIBLE, but we are still scheduled to depart at our new time (already talked to our pilot and they aren’t timing out thank goodness). I’m missing my connection but was able to get a hotel at BWI and rebook for tomorrow. My first rebooked flight for tomorrow already cancelled. Luckily I was checking my SW app constantly because I caught it right after it cancelled. I was able to quickly get it rebooked again here at the gate. If that cancels, I’m going to have to figure out how to take Amtrak for the first time ever, or borrow a car from my friend in Baltimore and drive to CT. As bad as all that sounds, I still feel very lucky that I still have options without being stranded in an airport.

How is the weather in Baltimore? We decided just to head home rather than extending our stay in Miami. We are ready to get home to our pug baby. Despite being with family, he is not eating.

Omg Allegiant emailed dh this morning and instead of refunding the amount they gave us a voucher and they CANCELLED OUR RETURN FLIGHT HOME They’ve been taking about 24 hours to respond to emails. Dh booked our return flight home with a card so now we have to make them refund us instead of a $1600 voucher

Just landed. Moderate turbulence in the area. Rainy here.

Here is an offer I personally haven't gotten (when logging into my Amex account).
It's for another (I already have one and it's my only Amex) BBP. This offer is 50,000 MRs after spending $15K in a year.

Since I am not intersted in the AFs nor the spend requirements for the gold or plat, is there any harm in my applying for this? I have a LOT of recent Chase cards opened but I have not really done anything with Amex except for the current BBP which I think I've had for a couple of years now. Oh and I did have a hilton biz that I closed some time ago.

Is there any harm in applying, do you think?

Of course I also don't know if i'll ever see this offer again since it just showed up today

I don't think so. I'm working through my MSR for this offer currently (although this was my first BBP).

I keep getting this offer too, which is so strange, since it pops up when I login to my BBP. Maybe I will take it too, I need a new MSR.

Ah! I see. You are in a different situation. Neither of us have a Biz Plat. and, fingers crossed, no pop ups. AMEX still loves both of us.

ETA: Now I just need to decide if I want to take on another 10k MSR. That triple dip is awfully tempting. YOLO!

 

[calypso726]

I think I can only get the Barclay AA bonus once? (Any bonus associated with this offer may only be earned once. You may not be eligible for this offer if you currently have or previously had an account with us in this program.)

Have you had luck getting approved for their business card using just your social security number on the application?

I've had the personal and business Barclay cards numerous times and received the bonus.

Yes, be sure to apply as sole proprietor and make sure your first and last name are you business name too.

Well I went ahead and applied (and got approved) but now I am second guessing myself because isn't it true with Amex that you cannot get a bonus on the same type of card (regardless of whether they are open or closed) more than once?

Aside from the initial offer screen, nothing else mentioned the bonus.

I guess I wait a year and see.

If you weren't going to get the bonus you would have gotten the pop up. If you were approved the bonus will be there. You can always chat once you get the card to make sure it's attached but it should be fine.

I have gotten mulitple Delta gold/plat bonuses, becuase of offers like these.

Of course now the BBP offer is gone and it's back to Amex Plat offers, which I cannot meet the spend on.

Some Amex bonuses are NLL - no lifetime language. Usually there is language in the terms that says something along the lines of if you have had the card you're not eligible. The NLL offers do not.

This BBP 50k/$15k offer is known NLL, so no worries.

Has anyone ever had one of their Chase cards disappear from their online account view? DH was approved for a CIU a few weeks ago, card was showing online, we received it and have charged on it. I go in yesterday to pay the balance and it's not showing on his online account or on the app, as I've checked both. I SM'ed Chase to see what they could do and then they replied that they referred it onto their IT department who replied asking DH to call them. Luckily DH will call, not excitedly, but not like he won't do it. I've just never had this happen before and didn't know if it had to anyone else.

Ok I could SPEND the money for the plat... but paying the bill would be something else again!

Thank you... I honestly didn't read it (oops) but that is good to know.

Just checked my and DHs accounts online and can see everything….how odd it disappeared
