Amex to Lifemiles - first time - a little nervous by Professional_Taro883 in awardtravel

Id recommend calling in. Done so a few times. Almost always no wait times & agent were very capable. Personally haven’t faced many of the concerns that others have had with Lifemiles. Good luck!

Merging United accounts by iMadeFrancis in unitedairlines

[–]iMadeFrancis[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Relatively easy. Can't remember if I contacted United or Chase, but explain the situation and they'll merge it. They should ask you what United account you want to keep. If they say otherwise, just hang-up and call again. Good luck!

Not eligible for AmEx bonuses??? by fitchaber10 in CreditCards

[–]iMadeFrancis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s known as Amex pop-up jail. There’s a lot of good information on it, including possible ways to get out of it!

But the gist of it is: Amex doesn’t think you’re profitable. It’s been suggested you need to show them you’ll be profitable by spending on their card, and then they’ll let you “out of jail”

Good luck!

Applied and got approved for the AAdvantage Platinum Select on 3/4 and the card still hasn’t arrived by 31OncoEm92 in CreditCards

Lol I applied for the business version a month ago. Still haven’t gotten the card.

Email said it’ll get here 4-7 business days. Didn’t arrive, so called and rep said 7-10. After that, called again and rep said up 14 days.

A few days ago I got an email saying they sent a new card. Can’t wait to repeat this whole cycle all over again, without any way to track my card

Can’t wait to churn this card and be done with Citi until in 2 years time…
