This is my first time asking for a retention offer from Amex. My statement just closed on March 26 and the AF has not posted yet. It should post any day now since I signed up on April 2, 2022. I’m leaving today for 5 weeks in Europe. Grandson #2 is due in 10 days. I didn’t want to bother calling when I’m out of the country. I’ve managed to use $80 of the Uber credits, but only cashed in on a few of the Cheesecake Factory $10 gift cards or purchases of cheesecake. Can you only apply for a gold card once in a lifetime? I honestly haven’t used MR points for travel. United points through my UR or United CC’s have been my go to since traveling back and forth from Houston to Frankfurt over the last 18 months. DD has temporary orders to San Antonio in September for 5 months. She’ll be in a course to become a critical care nurse. She won’t know her next assignment until this summer (could be Anchorage or San Antonio). I’ll decide my next travel cc when she gets her orders. Maybe an Alaska Airlines cc if she gets stationed there. San Antonio is less than 3 hours drive away so you can guess what I’m hoping for! And just a few photos of her beautiful family and the village where she lives in Germany.That’s weird, I’ve never seen a $30 retention. There is a $300 offer and a 30k MR one on the Gold. It’s not too early to ask since it would be your first retention.
