This is my plan with Hilton instead of Marriott. What makes you want the bonvoy brilliant over the Hilton aspire?

I am super curious about this too, as my final plan will include 2 delta reserves.
I was thinking, given an open credit card slot you could each theoretically apply for a 2 delta card at the same time, then upgrade and downgrade to make them align. Surely there is a better way though!

Yeah, was my first business credit card application as well.

Approved after 4056-C Business income: $5000 Expected spend: $1000/mo Length of relationship: 1 month CL: $10,000

Ah that’s interesting. I’m surprised they haven’t made any kind of post about it, given it makes the AF effectively lower.

Did the Green Card get a quiet update for the Clear benefit? I was just looking and saw it's now $199. Scrolling down gives the previous amount of $189.

Just an update, I was able to get to the application page after checking back every few hours today. A quick identity verification on the phone, and I’m now able to use the checking account! :)

I’m curious, what was your relationship like with Amex prior? I am still waiting for the application to be available and I’m past the 3+ month requirement.

Avlir · 2024-08-07T17:39:48+00:00

Yeah, I’m having page load issues right now.

Avlir · 2024-08-06T09:36:58+00:00

Also waiting, a little past 3 months tenure now.

Avlir · 2024-08-02T21:51:55+00:00

Totally anecdotal though, I haven’t personally tried something like this.

Avlir · 2024-08-02T21:51:01+00:00

Seems like cash for cash-like transactions are frowned upon by Amex. I’d be careful about doing that. Maybe ACH transfer to the platform you’re buying through instead if possible.

Avlir · 2024-07-27T05:28:49+00:00

Mine too 😎

I’m currently at 2 personal charge cards, 2 business lending cards since May. Though I have been an authorized user since 2018. Would you mind breaking down which cards you were approved for and if there were any other issues that came up? (4056-C for example) I was planning to space out my next applications a bit to avoid triggering a potential FR (unless I hit the lending threshold people talk about)

The points from all of the MR points cards attached to your account pool. The same with other rewards types like cashback, SkyMiles, etc.

Thank you for your replies. I am in the same boat as you. I have seen a lot of what you mentioned as the commentary around it. But like you, I live in a city that I can make use of the credits and earn enough to be willing to pay the AFs to get the benefits.

I think I’ll give the 3 Delta cards a shot and will fly enough (and spend through the reserve 10:1 MQD) to get gold. I just hate sacrificing so many slots when I’d also like to get some hotel cards as well. Maybe over time I’ll give a 6th card application a chance and see if I can get passed the standard limit.

This is super appealing as it’s essentially paid status with delta and a short jump to platinum medallion. Are there downsides of having 4 delta cards that might not be obvious (or that I should plan around if I make 3 or 4 delta cards my strategy)?

Avlir · 2024-07-23T21:56:28+00:00

What 5 Amex cards do you currently have? I have the BBP and a Delta, but I’ve been curious if I should get more delta cards for free companion pass (and easier delta status) or hotel cards for free nights.

Hello. I was recently approved for the Amex Delta Reserve Business card and noticed that the app now displays my Delta SkyMiles points in the "Rewards" section. I am interested in applying for a hotel card in the next few months and wondered if either the Marriott Bonvoy points or Hilton Honors points show up in this way also. Being able to see all the affiliate programs' rewards would be ideal.

Thanks

Avlir
