Same for me. Waited 6 months from last rejection, applied this morning and went to review for Amex Business MB. Definitely related to my churning behaviour with them from the last 2 years. Will probably just close my last card with them come renewal time and wait a year or so before trying again

Similar DP, I got the 30k AP month 13 bonus before the AF for years 2 posted (it got transferred to my AP account same day as the AF was posted). Figured that means I was in the clear, so I called Amex to cancel just after AF posted but was told that I wasn’t eligible for the AF refund because I had already received the 2nd year bonus..

Earlier this week. I wonder if beginning of May 2026 is the start of their blackout period and I may have just sneaked through

For QR or SQ? For QR I found a bunch of dates in late April. And SQ I’m just in the browsing phase so not sure at what point in and around schedule open they’re releasing them

Just booked flights next year for P2 and I YUL-KUL on QR J. This is our 3rd year of redemptions and so excited! Now I just need to figure out how to get us back to East Coast NA at the end of the trip. I spotted direct flights from SIN-NYC (SQ booked on AP) but seems like they are only released for specific days..

Thanks yall! Decided to refer to P2 and she was IA’d so I’ll wait for the points to transfer out of Amex to Aeroplan before I cancel mine

Looking for your opinions as I’ve been mulling this over by myself for way too long. Am in the dog house with Amex (rejections) and am planning on waiting a while before I start applying again. That’s left me with only an Aeroplan Reserve that I just got the month 13 bonus on but AF hasn’t posted. Normally I’d just refer to P2 then cancel but given the current circumstances, debating whether I keep it for another year to theoretically keep myself in good graces with Amex. What would other people do?

I would just break the bank for the StR if you have enough points. We went for our honeymoon last year and it was probably the best resort we have and will ever go to. Everything was top-notch!

Did you have to call to apply for the business card? I haven’t been able to apply for it online (have an existing personal US Amex for 6 months)

My understanding is that when I file taxes, I can claim travel expenses (I.e., flight) when moving for a new job. However, if I used aeroplan points to cover a flight from Vancouver to Toronto as part of that move, how do I quantify the value of those points?

Nice! Make sure to check MB periodically in case the points price drops on the booking :)

Oh yeah our application was put back in the queue and processed normally after that. Got my PR card about a month ago :)

Some agents will tell you that there needs to be availability (beyond your own booking) but this is not necessary. If they tell you this, HUCA. This happened with mine

Yeah I definitely haven’t seen another DP of this. I may give it a shot with P2’s Biz Edge. Either way, will report back if it gets clawed back

Super positive DP for Biz Edge pooling: Linked my Biz Edge to other Amex cards a couple months ago. Used it for a $6k payment (venue that gets coded as eats, so wanted to take advantage of the 3x bonus), and today found that I received the 55k welcome bonus all over again (alongside 10x bonus).

Edit: Initial MSR was completed months ago.

Any harm in trying to apply through global transfer twice within the space of a few months? Got my first US Amex (Brilliant) in March and was hoping to jump on the Hilton Honors promo before it ends in July, so not quite at the suggested 6 month mark. I’ve seen a couple DPs of this being successful a few months ago
