I love credit cards so much! v7.0 - 2025 (see first page for add'l details)

[becauseimnew]

I have an upgrade offer on my Amex Biz Gold, 120K MR/$10K spend, but I also have 15K MR/$4K for adding an AU. I'm going to wait until the end of the month to upgrade so the MSR period can cover our trip to Italy. I'm going to add my parents at AUs, should I add them before taking the upgrade offer?

Dd (me) applied for the AmEx Aspire last night. Had a spinning disk forever, thought the app didn't close, but had an e-mail this morning asking to enter our zip code and her DOB and the card was approved!

Question: property tax payment is due September 3rd; does AmEx expedite cards? How long will it take to arrive?

You can't request to expedite, but the Aspire is automatically expedited. My upgrade took 4 days. Maybe new card is faster.

Nice offer and interesting question. A couple DPs for you link link. Looks like AU first should work.

Why would the Airline credit reset? But anyway, I always use those up at the beginning of the year.

I don't think anything's been leaked like the hotel credit change. But the trend is increase AF, increase total dollar amount of credit but split it up more to increase breakage. I wouldn't be surprised if the airline incidentals credit changed to $100 every quarter. If not for the loopholes, that would be hard to use up consistently.

Sometimes they reset with new benefits. And yes, I use it asap also, just like I think the hotel credit will reset.
I might get that Alaska card once I'm done this sub. I have a feeling the new Delta card is dropping because they teased it two years ago when they made those terrible announcements, then backpedaled.

I agree, something like this or 100$ every 6 months, I love speculation.

Just planning ahead, but for that relationship bonus with BOA, it looks like you can do it for as little as $500. Is that true? I'm 100% going to pull the trigger on this if I don't like whatever AMEX may or may not come up with.

I just convinced myself to go for the Atmos Summit, but when I went to the early pre-registration email with the extra 5k points, there's no link to apply! Has anyone heard of what to do in this case?

I closed my Surpass and have been procrastinating on apping for the Aspire. Haven't tried for an Amex card in quite a while although I did accept an upgrade on one of my Marriotts.

Still thinking. Can't seem to pull the trigger although I have almost 12k of spend right now.

There are a couple DPs of that on the r/churning Atmos thread. Someone posted a generic link, maybe that'll work. Link
