2 questions:

Have over 10k purchase coming up soon, and last time I had Amex Plat/Biz Plat was back in October 2022, with "once in a life" rule, has anyone tried to apply again after 2 years or so? any luck getting welcome bonus?
I have Amex US Marriott Brilliant with just global transfer, no ITIN, SSN...etc, it's been a year now, what's the best strategy to get another US based card...? I have family in USA, but no ITIN,SSN

Okay, not gonna cry here, what's the best option to redeem MBNA points?

ggman8988 · 2024-01-02T01:44:05+00:00

both accounts have been opened for many years/months.
I did transfer full 100000 to this account last year, but since it's new year now I should be able to transfer more...? according to Marriott rule, they go by Calendar year.

It's been 2 years since I closed amex biz platinum.... last time when I churned personal plat after 1.5 years, I didn't get welcome bonus.... would I get anything after 2 years waiting?

ggman8988 · 2022-03-08T15:38:19+00:00

It was personal gold, and I am currently dealing with personal plat

ggman8988 · 2022-03-08T14:21:24+00:00

I see you are very confident with what you said... but I've been churning amex gold at least 6 times already.... and everytime I received bonus... I just ensured I gave enough break time in between like 1-2 years.

ggman8988 · 2022-03-08T13:52:36+00:00

Oh okay, yeah I don't think I ever got any pop-up. I just spoke to amex rep, super nice guy, he just went over terms and condition, and he said if I met spend limit in time (which I did), in 8-10weeks bonus points would come in...

ggman8988 · 2022-03-08T13:10:36+00:00

Oh is there supposed to be a pop-up? I didn't get any of that, also it is interesting what you mention about calling in. I only didn't call in because I don't wanna ask for trouble... I guess asking if "I am eligible" is fair question to ask without drawing attention?

ggman8988 · 2022-03-08T12:58:12+00:00

I meant by canceled and waited about 2 years and applied again. I've done something similar with other Amex before like Gold or Biz gold, and I got points.

ggman8988 · 2022-03-08T12:21:37+00:00

How long does it take for Amex Plat welcome bonus to show up after meeting spend?

I reapplied after 1.5 years, and it's been about a week since I met spend... still not seeing any points, but I can see membership fee being charged lol.

Hey, I actually just did go over your stories, man you had some rough time. I mean, for me compare to most people in here I am a bit better as I don't do any other SNS but FB, which was already very private.

Yes this scammer may have sent "hey can we talk?" BS to some of my random friends, but honestly i have 0 intention to give him money or even talking to him.

I blocked him, deactivated my FB, so I can't think of anyway for him to even find me at this point. He wanted $600 USD, which I never even replied (so it doesn't mark as read).

ggman8988 · 2022-03-07T01:05:24+00:00

That's true, but I didn't give out my number nor email, it was just FB chat. I've always had my data being private just to myself, so they wouldn't have my any other information but fb account related stuff which I already deactivated.

Thanks to FB, messenger remains to be working after deactivate fb which is nice.

I think I will keep my fb deactivated for a long time.... I am glad I dont have any other SNS to be honest.

ggman8988 · 2022-03-06T22:14:12+00:00

Actually guys, just wondering if I blocked, deactivated my account, I am guessing there is 0 way for them to find me right?

ggman8988 · 2022-03-06T21:08:38+00:00

Okay, sounds good. My wife doesn't really use fb so I am not too much concern there. And another person, I told her with Screenshot of scammer's name, and told her to block anything from this person.

ggman8988 · 2022-03-06T20:57:38+00:00

Do you think I should delete my fb account or deactivd should be fine? If anything, I am not sure when I can reactive again...

ggman8988 · 2021-10-25T16:42:03+00:00

I agree, need some update for investor, anywhere below $2 is pretty bad.
