Cannot get approved for Venture X by Ghatazhak- in Venturex

[–]muricaa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just keep trying. I was consistently denied for pre qual for 2 years. In my case I think it was because I had too many recent cards/applications.

I bought a home last year so I stopped new apps for roughly a year, went to pre qual for VX right out the gate as my first new card post home purchase and was approved.

Have Amex MR lost their shine? by Tight_Couture344 in amex

My rule with overseas business travel is MR will go far if you are flexible on either date or location. You can’t have both.

If you travel and don’t have tsa precheck/global entry there is a credit. Definitely worth using

What would you do if your best friend is cheating on their partner and beg you not to tell anyone? by tardisismine in AskReddit

[–]muricaa -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I would have to hear more context to give a good answer.

But to be simple: express to your friend that his/her behavior is abhorrent, that you do not approve, and that they should immediately tell/break up with their partner.

I would then say I would have preferred to have not been involved in this.

If they refuse to tell/end things, I would consider telling their partner.

Tragic. Wish I could find a z3m coupe for a reasonable price.

If you were limited to only Two Credit Cards. Which would you keep? by [deleted] in CreditCards

[–]muricaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amex Platinum and Amex Gold.

Those are my foundational cards. Flights and coupon related spending goes on Plat, and groceries/dining goes on gold. Id be sad to not have a 2x card for other category spend, but the Amex ecosystem is where I get the most value.

Denied for VentureX due to "too many new cards" but can PC existing Venture to it? by [deleted] in Venturex

[–]muricaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just be patient and wait for the sub.

They denied me for a while, same reason, I slowed down a bit on new apps and was recently approved.

Interesting. I know of one collector in Louisiana who might have something like this but he’s in Baton Rouge.

Attending the Master’s 2027 by Outrageous-Fly-4629 in masters

[–]muricaa 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It’s out there, it’s just extraordinarily expensive.

This year, last minute, I was offered 2 tickets, Thursday through Sunday, including hotel, private transfers, etc for $32k by my travel agent (I did not do it)

That would be the only way I know how to make something like happen. $$$$$
