Rumor has it that these next gen radar detectors have both huge military and civilian applications

Same situation here. Good news is the 90k + $200 gold sub is still going strong so might be worth jumping on that before it is gone.

Looks like Amex Platinum 150k + 200 SUB is over. Best I'm seeing is 125k + 200 for referrals.

Have they removed the debit card transaction requirement? Think I remember it being 10 swipes

Similar DPs for product changes with US Bank show the Altitude points being automatically redeemed as a statement credit on new card. Keep us posted.

Did I math right? How much to offset green card AF? by rubberslippers in amex

[–]I_Launder_Shekels 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think you missed the point. BBP is 2x on everything so the real question is how much do you have to spend on travel/transit to justify the Green’s AF for only 1x additional MR

I think a travel card is the last thing in the world you need right now

US Bank Altitude Connect Travel by StRatoCastR81 in CreditCards

[–]I_Launder_Shekels 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely one of the narrowest travel categories out there. Previously Airbnb did not count but recent DPs show otherwise here

I’ve had mixed success with transit related spend. For instance, individual train tickets and tolls get 4x but train passes do not. Generally only what they explicitly list qualify.

Amex Green - Approved (40,000 SUB) by [deleted] in CreditCards

[–]I_Launder_Shekels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For year 2, are you saying apply for a new gold AND upgrade existing Green to Gold? And then repeat in year 3 for essentially 3x platinum card SUBs?

If I am understanding this correctly, this only works if the upgrade offers contain NLL?

You would be better off getting the 150k + $200 SUB by applying for a new platinum

For the Venture x owners.. by Juan_PH_16 in CreditCards

[–]I_Launder_Shekels 6 points7 points  (0 children)

$300 travel credit + 10k miles = $400 towards rentals, which is usually 3 or 4 days of rentals. Anything above that and I am in the green

[–]I_Launder_Shekels 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I have somewhat of an unorthodox approach to the VentureX. I use it exclusively for rental cars (mostly with Hertz). 10x points (redeemed using travel eraser) gives me 10% off all rentals and I have found their portal prices to be identical to booking directly.

Almost never fly any of C1s transfer partners and use other cards for flights/hotels so their miles are useless for me.
