I just chatted with a rep on the Amex website and she was less than helpful. By the end of the chat she figured out it's a known issue and they are working on it. Points should by awarded by July.
Chat reps are only there to help in a minimal way. if you have real questions, calling is the best. for example, chat reps cant expedite cards but calling the reps, u can get them expedited.
My husband was approved for CIP 2 days ago. This morning I realized I forgot to refer him. I am so mad at myself. Is it too late to do anything about it?
You can try and call to see if they would do anything. at best, u might get a courtesy adjustment but its def ymmv. Try your luck and let us know! Good luck!
Two quick questions:
First is about Starwood points--we have three cards, all of which are coming up for AF. Can I cancel all three, or are Starpoints tied to a cc and we should keep one open?
Second--what is the strategy for cancelling a Southwest card just after the AF posts, then calling in to see about erasing the fee while keeping the anniversary miles?
usually, what u want to do is to call them and ask for a retention bonus. for example, i reached out yesterday, got spend $1000 get 7k bonus point. sometimes they even give u 10k points straight out. If you had to keep one, keep the SPG Biz since its got an extra category on earning. Its up to u if you want to keep one or not. They do come with an anniversary night too!
im not familiar with SW, thats
@SouthFayetteFan expertise at.
Just wanted to make a few notes on the Chase Rumor.
- one thing i find the rumor a bit much is by studyin Chase's pattern. One of the cards i would like to note is the Chase Ink Cash card. This card was originally earning a "Cash" back like value that could transfer to UR. After awhile, Chase decided to make it so u earn "UR" instead. The rumor is going the wrong direction.
- 2nd thing, i doubt Chase will pull any stupid stuff instantly. They will most def give us a warning. All the things that happen instantly seems to affected new customers. 1 Sapphire card rule and the 1 SW card rule were both instant. But chase removing price protection has a end date.
- pool somewhere else. We know that chase will allow us to product change any freedom card to a CSP card. Theres not stopping us from upgrading, then transfer, then just close account right? :]
- dont think too much, this is still a rumor, a rumor that was surveyed out to people... which im 99% sure people would say THIS IS A BAAAAD IDEA!
2nd note, Did we ever find out which Nashville
@disneymagicgirl lives in?
3rd note, churning mistake 101. I made a gc purchase with my bank account. When i went to see what went wrong, i managed to buy another gift card.
DONT FIGURE THINGS OUT without coffee... :| haha. $50 mistake.
