All righty, I've decided I'm going to try to get my multi-quote on today...
I was worried about Amex until someone here mentioned it's basically like Oprah and the "you get a car! you get a car! You get a car! Everybody gets cars!" episode back in the day. That's Amex with cards. I don't know why, despite everyone's assurance's I'd be fine, I needed that visual to get comfortable with apply for Amex cards. (I now have 4, oldest is 8 months- maybe I got too comfortable!)
Are you making sure you are logged into your UA account when searching? They have slightly more availability if you're a UA cardholder- VERY slightly more but still it's something.
Just wanted to say do not transfer those miles until you see the availability you want, I don't see any advantage to that since as you mentioned you can't put them back. I booked a UA award a few months ago. I found the award, transferred from Chase and the miles were immediately available at UA. I think I had to log out and log back into UA but that was it.
The Venture denial scarred me too! I was like 6/24 at the time. I'll keep an eye for other DPs on this card as well but hitting all 3 bureaus really added to the pain of that denial...
Do you have status in another program that might auto-match status to AA or something? I think you're the 2nd person we've heard of this from, I believe
@calypso726 had this happen as well?
I'm not too concerned at this point. If it doesn't re-activate in a couple months then I'll believe it.
Try their link anyway to see if it works! I went over there to check mine and clicked some other's links and a good chunk of them are still working. If you get the offer concluded/not available message I'd shot them a DM and see if they can use the app to generate a new link.
I think they just ran a refresh on some of the links and also screwing up their RAF site.
ETA... I take back my popcorn, some of those comments are just so angry and dumb it's kinda depressing. I think I'd better stick to Reddit and Twitter for my popcorn dramas!
