Wish our high school let you pay for AP tests with a credit card. 3 tests at $90 a piece. At least I was able to pay for the dual enrollment classes with a credit card.

DS school takes cc for everything. Cafe, vending, football tix, books, exams, etc. Dual enrollment go to his school account so cc work and I can use PayPal if there's a bonus category somewhere.

I was there last week and tried to use my Visa gift cards, and other credit cards. I really didn't spend much other than 3 jackets (grandkids) and a hoodie and I had the annual pass 20% so barely hit $250 on those. No sit downs as I was eating at food & Wine mostly, plus coffee/biscotti for breakfast in my room. Last week most rides were a walkon or 15- 20 minutes for my stuff. Haven't seen it so dead in ages.

So jealous. Wish we could go. I miss F&W but I think this year/next year are no travel for us except some college trips.

The Experian security freeze section is "temporarily" down. It has been since yesterday. So, I can not unfreeze credit in order to apply for a new card.

I was planning to apply for a "pre-approved Amex Biz Platinum" through an email link we got.

I had read that Amex does a soft pull if you have cards with them already? What does that even mean? Lol. No need to unfreeze? I was going to unfreeze jic because I didn't want to deal with any possible follow-ups because of the credit freeze.

Any DPs for applying for secondary AMEX with the freeze still on? The other 2 credit bureaus are unfrozen, just Experian is not.

I need the new card for property taxes due no later than 11/30/2025, and to pay for flights I want to book ASAP.

Applying for new cards is already soooooo nerve racking. I didn't need this obstacle when I finally worked myself up to finally pull the trigger and apply.

TIA.
