I love credit cards so much!

PNC bonus peeps...My dd's 2k deposit posted like this:
ACH CREDIT XXXXXXXXX JPMORGAN CHASE EXT TRNSFR

Will that trigger the bonus? Am I right in thinking this bonus doesn't post for about a month after the requirements are met?

That's looks good, so far it seems if you have that "ACH CREDIT" in the description it should work. Usually it does seem within 30 days of meeting the requirements but they could also batch it a bit. I got mine a little faster than I expected. I didn't finish my debit transactions until 7/20, it didn't officially post until 7/23, but I got the bonus on 8/3 with a few other people reporting DP's on reddit.

They'd be at the bottom of the account overview page. I'm not sure if corporate cards are eligible, even if you opted into the MR program. (we could opt in on ours but we had to pay the $75 fee... and corporate was quick to put out that they would NOT be reimbursing the fee, no matter how many Senior VP's you bribed to override it, so don't even try it ) But if you're in the MR program it's possible, can't hurt to look through the site.

I definitely don't see any offers. Even when I go to the pre-qualified section it just shows the normal offers. I guess not... I either have a green or cash back card so that may be why.

The 100k MR/$10k Biz Platinum offer might still be available by calling into an Amex agent’s direct line and asking for it.

Ohh that is tempting. Another $450 fee and $10,000 MSR tho. Weighing my options. Maybe I should call and see if I get a nice person haha

Ugh, is there anything more depressing than going to Costco when you're only working on MSRs on Amex and Mastercard?

I mean, probably having 27 unattached cat 6 Marriott certificates, but still...

Ugh. I need to do a Costco Trip this week and exactly as you, MSR on Hilton Amex and CitiBiz. I need to get organized and buy Costco cash card online ahead of time but they take so long to be delivered.

I've been calling in all day and finally was able to book the st Regis bora bota on points, but they said it would be 158,000 points per night. I said it should only be 60,000 but they said nope 158k/night. Hmm might have to HUCA and see what happens.

I really can't remember if this is new or was there before and I didn't connect it with Back to School stuff, but AmEx Offer for HP, Spend $1,000 get $200 credit:

Get a one-time $200 statement credit by using your enrolled Card to spend a minimum of $1,000+ in one or more transactions online at hp.com/go/amex by 9/30/2018.

This was on my Biz card, so maybe targeted to business accounts? It is kind of a lot to spend with HP as a consumer but reasonable if I was a business.

Well, I've officially lost my Hilton Amex with four days left in the MSR Not worried about fraud because I'm confident the card is somewhere in my luggage or car because I'm a trainwreck and misplace cards constantly. Fortunately, I had the card number saved in my Chewy and Google Express accounts, so I just ordered dog and cat food which should put me $40 over $5000. Points on Amex cards typically post instantly once you meet the MSR, correct? I'll keep an eye on my account for when my charges post.

 

[CyndiLouWho]

I don't fly much, and when I do, it's usually for work about 3 times a year. Although 2 of those trips are usually to Canada so SW isn't an option.

So maybe the question is...do you WANT to fly a lot?

 

[miztressuz]

I definitely don't see any offers. Even when I go to the pre-qualified section it just shows the normal offers. I guess not... I either have a green or cash back card so that may be why.

Both the Green and Cash consumer/small business versions get the offers. But I think Corporate cards are a different ball game entirely and aren't part of the offers program. Thought maybe if you had the MR program enrolled it's possible but that also seemed a little weird given how the corporate agreements are structured usually.

Just got caught up from today, the thread is moving fast again. Got my support links updated on Reddit! Still debating getting the Starwoods Amex Bus, but glad I'm not alone with my contemplating. Lots of difficult decisions to make in regards to the new rules.

Glad Marriott/Starwoods is going to make the certificate changes somewhat right, would seem like they should have just done it right in the first place...

I hope you find it soon!
The bonus posts fairly quickly after spend is met...24-48 hours in my experience. The regular spend points post in usual Amex weird fashion.

Hilton Biz MSR. I was $157 away from being done. Two recurring bill-pays and I was home free. But the tuition I paid in July, just refunded the scholarship money back to the CC instead of putting in my son's bank account like they have done for the last two years! UGH. Now I am $2100 away. Along with my Citi Biz $2000 + DH Citi Biz which we are still having issues using and DH CIC is coming any day. A little more than I had thought going on all at once.

On DH Citi Biz, we've called twice cause they thought there was suspicious activity setting up the account on-line. No charges there and I can't use it to make a charge. After the last call, Dh is ready to give up on this card. Really not happy.

Did your payment due date update or does it still say Aug 25th when you login?

Still says August 25th

Anyone know when the typical bonus points (dollars) post for the Disney card referral? If the person applied today, any idea on when I can expect to see it? I remember seeing something about a Tuesday afternoon but I don't remember the details.

If I’m remember correctly you can redeem them when your statement closes....not sure when you can see them...

On my personal cards the statement closes like 2days after the due date and points post...on my business card it’s longer maybe 5-6 days for the statement to close

DP here on capital one money market account, opened and 10,000 deposited finally today (10 full days after opening) and already received 200 welcome bonus. I was not targeted for the offer.

Let us know. We know some people.

 

[WardFam]

OMG. that would be amazing if you are able to secure that. Let me know. Maybe ill try calling too.

ETA: How are you planning on getting there? are you using miles? I thought I would figure that out after I got a reservation.

Talked to someone who said these rooms will definitely be going for 158k points/night. She said that since they are suites they are more points. I guess I will have to dream up somewhere else to go!

 

[PolyRob]

Let us know. We know some people.

I will check my spreadsheet to see if I can meet the spend. I was planning for $8,000 on the double dip so $2,000 may not be that bad.

If I can meet the spend, is there any reason not to do it? I know you mentioned the Blue Business+ first since it had no AF and could be a good place to pool the MR points. Would a second Amex biz card later on to pool the MR points be foolish in the event I did not want a platinum anymore?

Hmmm - you might want to call in and ask when your next statement will close. The trigger of when you can expect to see the points post is when a new statement closes...and the indication that your statement closed is when that date updates.

On a travel FB group I'm on someone posted they double-dipped CSP and CSR but only received bonus for one of them. I haven't seen this reported on here? I was hoping to double-dip soon did I miss that DP??
