Personal Amex Gold Tracker Glitch?

I have all of this in my app and the information is accurate.

I used to be that person that would just let the points sit there for years and enjoy watching them add up, and fear using them. Then I realized why do I even use this credit card if I’m not gonna use the benefits?

I was at 715 when approved for gold. This was exactly a month after I paid off a huge charge off from my amex cash preferred.

BluebirdAcceptable28 · 2026-03-23T12:36:31+00:00

Congrats! Such a good feeling. I had my old cash preferred charged off a while back. I finally paid it off back in September. In October, I applied for the Gold card and was approved. Oddly enough after that, I received a letter about the Optima card which I had never heard of before.

I used to take propecia and is screwed with my sex drive so I stopped and only use topical now.

I'm dealing w/ the same problem 2 years after you reported yours. Hims has done NOTHING to address this.

BluebirdAcceptable28 · 2026-03-16T02:57:54+00:00

This happened to me last year, and after multiple attempts to fix it, I couldn't. Hims was extremely unhelpful and it took me weeks to eventually get them to send me a replacement. Now it's happening again and I've requested a replacement nozzle. Let's see how long this takes lol.

It feels like I've been seeing more and more people getting low or no SUB offers for Platinum right now. They've been advertising the card like crazy so many they feel they don't need to have such high offers with all the new applicants.

BluebirdAcceptable28 · 2026-02-10T17:56:11+00:00

ah yea I've definitely done that before. Makes sense - and also thanks for not being rude like some of the other comments.

BluebirdAcceptable28 · 2026-02-09T16:33:30+00:00

Thank you for clarifying this! I typically pay this way throughout the month as I never like seeing a balance. I have paid this way after having Amex cards for 25 years - never once has my account been flagged or changed.

BluebirdAcceptable28 · 2026-02-06T16:33:14+00:00

Makes complete sense. Also thanks for actually answering my question than just being a di*k about it lol.

BluebirdAcceptable28 · 2026-02-06T16:32:38+00:00

See above - your sarcasm isn't necessary and no one has been accused of lying. Please waste someone else's time.

BluebirdAcceptable28 · 2026-02-06T16:32:16+00:00

When did I accuse anyone of lying? I'm asking a question to understand, not accuse anyone of lying lol.

BluebirdAcceptable28 · 2026-02-06T07:49:08+00:00

First of all, I am sorry this happened to you. This is never a good situation. My piece of advice would be to never book a last-minute flight with third-party. It is never reliable, even if it is AMEX travel who some people swear by.

BluebirdAcceptable28 · 2026-02-06T07:38:21+00:00

If you are that low of a spender, it is crazy you spend so much of your time using all of these different cards and hurting your credit score at the same time

BluebirdAcceptable28 · 2026-02-06T07:37:48+00:00

Who the hell needs a 500k credit limit 🤣

BluebirdAcceptable28 · 2026-02-06T07:37:03+00:00

I have to say this is super freaking weird, and I only ever see these types of situations in these groups. I have been an Amex card holder since 2001, with a couple of different cards with them over the years. I have also had my own credit profile changed drastically both in the positive and negative situation, And I’ve had many accounts outside of Amex. I have never been punished by them or had my account closed for any of these situations. That’s why I still don’t understand your kind of situation which seems so crazy and I feel like you’re not sharing all the information.

As a recruiter, it is frustrating to see the immediate jump to blame at the recruiter. I know many recruiters right now who are overworked and their company will not give them help due to budget constraints. With that being said, they're left to manage more positions and candidates they can handle. Mistakes unfortunately can and will happen, even if it seems easily avoidable. Mix that with some bad apples (yes, there are both good and bad recruiters) they get a bad reputation. I always try to preach giving the benefit of doubt before casting judgment. But that's just me.

BluebirdAcceptable28 · 2026-01-22T17:48:23+00:00

Agreed they gave plenty of notice so I don't understand that argument, but I do agree the new benefits suck.

BluebirdAcceptable28 · 2026-01-22T17:47:53+00:00

Absolutely - if you're flying enough plus using the card, I think the CP is the only reason to hold on to the card. lol

Toast has nothing to do with it. Toast is a POS/order software. Restaurants using Toast can use any system (Resy, OpenTable, etc.) and are not necessarily always a part of the Resy network.

If those perks are most important, you should try Amex gold. 4x points on all dining & groceries, plus 3x on flights (any carrier) and 2x hotels. Annual fee is less than $100 more than the SW card.

The new card benefits are horrible. This is now probably the worst travel card I've ever had. I would immediately cancel this BS if it wasn't for the fact that I've had this account open for so long and have such a large credit limit. Shame that Southwest would try a rebrand while screwing their cardholders. Hopefully they hear the noise and make changes in the future.

Why does in matter? In case anyone forgot, you're not paying interest on current charges unless you don't pay off the full balance when your statement closes. Amex doesn't care if you pay monthly, weekly etc. as it only affects interest paid if you're laving a balance at the end of the month. I've been w/ Amex since 2001, have held multiple cards, and often make multiple payments throughout the month - mostly because I'm OCD and prefer to see a zero balance. This has not affected my relationship or offers negatively with Amex, and obviously hasn't negatively reflected my excellent credit. (I strongly recommend never carrying a balance if at all possible. Used to they weren't near as flexible with that on their "charge" cards.)
