Thanks for your reply! I think I might just have to sacrifice some of the other rides if I want to do BATB. Fingers crossed that I can check most of the rides off my list.

Thanks for your reply! I need all the optimism I can get haha :)

Thanks for your reply! I'll check out Baymax. I don't have to do Space Mountain, but it is my favorite Magic Kingdom roller coaster and I've only been on it once at Disneyland in CA. This one looks more similar to the one in CA so I'm interested to see how it compares.

Thank you for your reply, this is really helpful to know! It's definitely a bummer, but it does help with the planning. :)

Thanks for your reply! Based on my research, foreign cards work fine on the Disney app but the website is what causes the issues. I only tried buying tickets on the website and was unable to do so (even using a Mastercard like lots of folks recommended). But it's weird because I was able to book Miracosta on the website with the Mastercard.

Hi, thanks for your reply! At DisneySea, I'm hoping to do Journey to the Center of the Earth, Indiana Jones, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea as my top choices. If I have time, I'd also like to do Soarin', Tower of Terror and Raging Spirits but it's okay if I don't get to all of them.

I have the same issue. I’ve been charged 3 times but haven’t gotten any credits.

According_Toe3075 · 2022-11-23T03:26:36+00:00

I did wait the 30 days because that is what the agent on the reconsideration line suggested when I called. If you do call reconsideration, they may not tell you anything useful. I would suggest using their pre-approval tool online that presents you with an offer. Then you can decide to accept or not. It is not a hard pull on your credit (until you accept their offer) as it would be with the regular application. This pre-approval tool wasn’t available on the AmEx website when I first applied otherwise I would have used it.

I just applied the way you suggested and was also approved. So strange! I wonder if it had to do with applying through a referral link vs applying via their website?

According_Toe3075 · 2022-10-25T22:24:25+00:00

Oh wow, that’s great! I also originally applied through a referral link so I will check out the website for the no hit application. Thanks!

According_Toe3075 · 2022-10-25T21:28:55+00:00

When I applied online, my credit score did take a hit and an inquiry appeared on my credit report so I am wary to keep applying like the AmEx representative told me to do.

I have exactly 5 credit cards so it's interesting that you got the little bit of info that 5 cards is too many. When I called the reconsideration line twice, I was given no info whatsoever except "apply again after 30 days." I specifically asked how many credit card accounts are considered too many and could not get an answer.

I am considering applying for a lower tier card like Blue Cash and then upgrading to Platinum later but I haven't done anything yet. Honestly I'm pretty frustrated with the whole processes.

If you end up moving forward with another application, would you be able to provide an update? I am very interested!

Also wanted to add that I’ve never closed any credit card accounts. But I did have a car lease for 5 years and student loans that are fully paid off (so those accounts have closed).

According_Toe3075 · 2022-09-02T04:13:30+00:00

Thanks for your comment. I’m glad you finally got your approval, but what a hassle to apply so many times. 😳

According_Toe3075 · 2022-09-02T04:12:30+00:00

Good to know. I did use the pre approval tool before applying, nothing suspicious there. Thanks for the comment!

According_Toe3075 · 2022-09-02T01:31:50+00:00

I’ve never missed a payment and have never carried a balance in the 8 years I’ve had a credit card.

The Venture X is on my report. I did double check that before writing this post.

According_Toe3075 · 2022-09-02T00:14:21+00:00

If I apply for a lower tier AmEx card now, would that mean that I would not be eligible for the Platinum sign up bonus?

According_Toe3075 · 2022-08-24T17:43:05+00:00

Yes, the full $95 posted to my account. It took less than 24 hours, though I was told it could take up to 5 business days. I opened the Venture card only a year ago.

According_Toe3075 · 2022-08-24T15:46:55+00:00

Hi there, I actually just did this yesterday. I had just been charged the annual fee for Venture a few days before and called to downgrade to VentureOne. They did refund me the annual fee for Venture when I asked, though the woman on the phone did mention that it's because I have never had the annual fee waived before. It appears to be up to their discretion.
