Check your Amex Platinum offersI got $50 off $50 at BestBuy.com 2x and $50 off $50 at Home Depot.com 2x. Also got Home Chef.
Did you check your Ultimate Rewards dashboard to see that you didn’t get the bonus points? I thought it went by transaction date, not posted dateGrrrr...my last day of the month PayPal spend didn’t work out to get the bonus category points in the Freedom. It sat pending 12/31 until this morning and then went through posting 1/1.I even screenshot it to show that I had made the purchase on 12/31. Any chance a call or SM would get me those bonus points or just let it go since I did do it on the last day?

On my Amex Plat, I also have $49.95 off Scribd which seems similar to Audible and which will cover 5 months of cancel anytime subscription. Also $50 off $250 instacart which not great but not hard to reach. There's also $50 off $150 Container Store - unfortunately spent more than that a few weeks ago to finish up some closets.

I didn’t get the scribd offer but wish I did. I’ve had a subscription for a while now. What I like about it is you can get sheet music on it, which is great for musicians. I don’t know of any other services that have that. I have two kids using it for music, one for guitar and one for piano.

Our Container Store (five minutes from my house) is opening soon. If I take DD there, I'll be in trouble. I swear the kid has the messiest room but she's always buying stuff to organize her life. She started crocheting and I think the pile of yarn by her desk may reach the ceiling soon.On my Amex Plat, I also have $49.95 off Scribd which seems similar to Audible and which will cover 5 months of cancel anytime subscription.

As for travel 2020, we canceled 4 Disney trips plus an undefined 2-week domestic trip in the summer. We just came back from 5 days camping at Fort Wilderness, no parks. NYE is usually such a great time there but it was so weird with no party, no DJ, no fireworks. We love to visit the resorts and bar hop but most of them are so quiet with eating places and stores closed that we actually commented that we missed people
It seems all of the offers are on Platinum cards (both personal and business). With the exception of a spend offer on BBP which seems to be $500 get $25 back up to 10 times or something like that.
The 10K MR is pretty standard, and anything higher is very rare. BBP is a great card to have. DH has both BBP and Blue Business Cash, and while they both earn 2x (BBP 2xMR, BBC 2% cash back), I find the BBP has many more Am Ex Offers and better offers than the BBC. His BBP has 97 current offers whereas his BBC has 28! The way BBC's cash back works is that it posts as a statement credit toward your following billing cycle.
This happened to me once with my Freedom. The charge pended a long time and then posted after the quarter ended. I called Chase and the rep awarded the points. You could try SM since you have the screenshot. It's worth a try.Grrrr...my last day of the month PayPal spend didn’t work out to get the bonus category points in the Freedom.

My Plats are all too new to get any offers, but I am liking the BBP spend $500 get $25 back. That will be a moneymaker. For a no AF card, it sure does get some good offers. I see I've saved $170, add that to the $150 I got for retention bonus and that's a pretty good deal.
I'll probably just wait for the letter
He is an authorized user on my oldest two cards (from 2005 and 2006), but those are the only cards either of us is an AU on.
Just yesterday. I think I will wait on the letter for the denial reason. He gets stressed out when he has to call.
I will post the denial reason as soon as I get that letter. There is nothing on his account so far.
I applied at 1am eastern on a MDD back in Feb with no issues.
It is not specifically a denial. Just pending - could go either way at this point. The Chase status line has been acting weird lately so it's a bummer to not know the status, BUT don't take it to mean anything bad.I forget, for Chase Biz cards, if we got the "we need to review" message, then an email with "We'll let you know our decision by U.S. mail. This could take up to 30 days.", is that a denial?
ETA: And the Chase line says there are no applications on file within the last 30 days. However, we got the Chase credit journey notification that an inquiry was made, so I know the app went through.
Thank you, as always! We did get the "your application needs further review. If approved, you will receive your card in 7-10 days" message immediately after applying from logged in biz account, but then got the email about a decision by mail within 30 days after, so that made me nervous. We're trying to get the CIU since we have a huge $6200 charge to make, and could easily meet the higher SUB. We only hold one biz card - a CIP. Ugh, I guess we'll have to wait and see.
