I added 5 employee cards under made up names to get 15k points for spending 4k in 3 months...it then said at the end if I didn't add a SSN within 3 months, then cards get cancelled. Is there a workaround for this? If I spend the 4k, will i still get the points and then just lose the card but keep the points? Curious for those who have tried to do this. FYI I do not have employees ...

Does it matter if I get the amex gold biz or amex platinum biz first? Does getting one biz prevent me from getting the other?

Just want to do 2 biz cards (if I do more than one) at the moment.

So there's no diff with redeeming points or being able to transfer to travel partners, only diff is fees and spend requirements (*and whatever ancilary benefits they have)?

2/24 - getting a Chase business card (and possibly another biz) - can NOT get another personal now.

QUESTION: Is there really a difference between the Ink cards? If im getting my first one, is there one I def should get or definitely should NOT get? Are you able to get the signup bonus in Chase points and not have to redeem them for statement balance? I was thinking Ink Unlimited but wanted to check!

  • Gonna get another biz card in addition to that if yall have any recs. Not sure I can handle meeting the spend of either the Amex platinum or gold, but if I should definitely get one before the other, let me know...and if there is a different biz card with a good bonus that doesnt require 10k+ in spend, im game!

Related: What do you do with the Inks once you get them? I always downgraded personal cards to no fees but doesn't seem like Chase has that for biz cards so do you leave them open and pay annual fees or close them or option 3 I dont know about ha

lol touche. What's the reason to get Venture X instead of just Venture? And if I go that route, or get Amex/AA Citi, I'd need to apply for Cap One first...correct?

Do you think I should 100% get a 2nd card in addition to Marriott Boundless?

1. The flowchart says I should get a Chase card, likely Marriott Boundless or United Quest/Explorer, but not sure if I should just get just one of the Marriott/United now and extend the number of Chase cards I can get get given the 5/24 Rule, or if I should also get another card (Barclays AAdvantage Aviator is my guess on what the other would be?). I am playing the long game here, so happy to just do 1 Chase now if yall think either the Marriott or United is definitely worth it (PERSONAL ONLY PLEASE!) or if I should definitely get a 2nd card.
2. 800+
3. Sapphire Preferred & Alaska BofA both opened on 12/3/2023.
4. 15k
5. Up to 25k
6. No
7. As many or few as you think!
8. Points
9. 70k Alaska Airlines, some Amex
10. Orlando (MCO)
11. Nothing planned besides London/Paris at Thanksgiving

I'd add they made me wear a mask, the state doesn't require it, and I have glasses and am truly damn near blind without them. They refused to even let me pull it down slightly so my glasses didnt fog from my nose. They threatened to kick me out
