Well, it's time to replace the upstairs HVAC to the tune of $11,500.

Good news is that they take credit cards including Amex.
Now, I am scrambling to sign up for a new card and the related anxiety that comes with not knowing if we will be approved or not and the time constraints that we can't start the process of getting into their work schedule without paying the 50% deposit and we can't do that without a new card approved and on hand.
Lead time for installation is about 3-4 weeks. We were hoping to list the house for sale in the beginning of June when the pool was open. The AC replacement needs to be done before listing. Who wants to buy a house with no working upstairs AC when it is hot and humid?
I'm thinking for such a large expenditure, I should apply for either a Chase Ink or try for a biz AMEX? PP2 (DH) just finished the SUB for Gold Biz Amex. Maybe he should try for a Amex Plat? I was in pop up jail...
Any cards I am missing? We both have Sapphires and are not eligible for a new one yet. DD24 just got the CSP and just finished the SUB for that as well.
TIA!
