The more I read about it, the more it sounds like a Gold card-specific issue. Either way, I'm going to play it safe on Amex for a while or just go for BBP if I get some downtime. I got DH's Citi AA biz last night, I plan to get him a CIU in March, and then I need to build up more SPG and Hilton points for Tokyo. I highly doubt he'll have an issue with Amex considering he's a cardholder since 2012 and we've upped his spend on that card recently. I'd like to get him whatever the high end Hilton card is (Aspire?) around August so we'll have the status from that during our trip to Tokyo. Fortunately, I don't need MRs or SPG points immediately for flights since I plan to use AA through JAL, and I already have enough AA miles for my flight and will have enough for DH once this new bonus posts.
Feeling compelled to jump in on the Japan chatter. I went to Tokyo Disney a few years ago and would love to get back but will need to time it with cherry blossom season as that's also on my bucket list.
Just a few thoughts. Tokyo Disney is a good 45 minutes outside of the city, so we did a split stay with two nights at the Disney property that is right outside the park and then two nights in the city. Also, you might want time the Aspire closer to the end of the year for the possibility of a double-dip on the travel credit.
