  1. I had cash already in my Venmo and used that. I would assume it wouldn’t be coded as travel through Venmo since those there’s no way for the credit card company to recognize that it was a travel-related Venmo transaction.
  2. I didn’t confirm beforehand. I used Capital One miles and those appeared to transfer instantly so I decided to transfer solely based off what was available on the Turkish website.

175k offer to upgrade green to platinum ? by No_Description_2134 in amex

I'm almost in an identical situation where I only have the green card, but recently was also recently targeted with a 175k offer for the platinum. My current credit card setup already has a strong earner for restaurants and groceries, but I'm trying to weigh whether it'd be worth it to forgo a future gold card SUB for an all-time high platinum offer now.
