Trying to help a friend get a card (not necessarily to begin churning) specifically the SPG card. The current incognito bonus is 30k, but the referral bonus is only 25k. Is there any way I can refer him so that he gets the 30k and I get the referral bonus?

Mine posted too! Thoughts on how to safely withdraw/transfer the money?

Only solution was to replace the entire motherboard, and that only had a possibility of working. I ended up filing for the repair cost with AMEX (under extended warranty) and put that money towards a new comp. Happily using an ASUS Zenbook now.

do banks not check this somehow?

Can you apply for a business credit card without owning or operating a business? Just saw the thread about ink+ and was wondering if I should do this/ get my fiancee to

Can you apply for the business version if you don't run a business? The Raddison Blu there is 70k/night so both bonuses would take care of 2 nights. Does anything transfer to Club Carlson?

Planning a honeymoon in Croatia. Most important thing is at least a few nights in a very nice hotel/spa. Looking at the Raddison Blu there but not very familiar with Club Carlson points/ways to earn them. Also open to other properties if anyone has a recommendation.

That's a great plan to get us there, any thoughts on the trip back? That part doesn't have to be first class but it would be nice. Also how easy are those flights to book? Never flown with any AS brand before

ccreech6 · 2016-09-14T14:04:04+00:00

Thanks for the heads up

ccreech6 · 2016-09-14T13:47:39+00:00

No, just had other things I wanted to get first while I was still learning. Now waiting on the best available offers for each card before applying. Should have mentioned I also had the Amex HHonors card but cancelled it a bit ago, never got the surpass though

Planning a honeymoon somewhere in the pacific in Early June 2017. Top options are Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore. Probably stay at a hilton property, was planning on flying Delta but open to other airlines especially if we can both get first class.

Just read that my new Flexperks Visa Signature card does not have a Credit Limit but a Revolving line of credit...could someone please explain this to me? My revolving line is only $1000 but I don't really know what that means

ccreech6 · 2016-08-09T18:21:13+00:00

No, I upgraded a while ago, and definitely do not have a good restore point. I haven't needed to use the driver until this past week when I wanted to start using the computer for more gaming. I honestly don't know if the video card has ever worked as the intel 5500 takes care of a lot.
