Interesting, has anyone here tried it?Over the last 2 weeks, people have reported on FT and on DoC's blog that the method of calling and asking for the 100k offer to work again!
Maybe they get credit for the number of accounts they successfully open and looking for an offer takes extra time....The key is for the rep to be able/willing to look for an offer and s/he should be able to find it, it seems. I am not sure whether the ones who say they cannot do anything without a RSVP code really cannot or don't bother to try.
So, no troubles with using someone else's code? I had read a few months ago that some had mixed results when they used someone else's code.I used someone else's RSVP from here who kindly gave it to me last month.
Ah, yes, I was referring to personal cards. Thanks for the clarification and info.I think that for Business cards, it should be fine. Yes, no troubles.
For personal cards, I think it's a no-no.
I did a few weeks ago, worked on my first phone call. Got a really nice agent, kept to the same script as has been pointed out before for getting the offer, and after 5 minutes of small talk was offered a 100k offer. Was approved over the phone after all my info was taken down for the app.Interesting, has anyone here tried it?
That's pretty much how my call went. Said I had the rsvp code (same one everyone else has tried to use) but it had expired. The rep looked for the offer, and eventually came back with a "similar" offer which was the exact same offer after a few minutes of looking.I used someone else's RSVP from here who kindly gave it to me last month. However, I did just try for my SO and it took 5-6 calls. The first 5 asked for RSVP and could not do anything without it. The last one was kind enough to ask for the name and address and said that he would look for current offers then found the 100k one.

I'm definitely a small fry and no problems. It's a legitimate business, but only been around since August with about 10k in revenue. I know sometimes Chase can be more of a stickler but no issues with Amex for me.My husband recently got a CITI Bus AAdvantage card for his very small consulting side business (50K miles for $3K spend). Instant approval. I was really surprised he got it so easily. Do the 100K and 150K offers get approved for small fry too, or do they expect more significant bus income for the bigger promos?
Easy - you need to keep expenses separate for different aspects of your business. I just called in this morning for a platinum, and its pending. I got a Business Gold in January.Did anyone who successfully applied for the Platinum have an existing Amex Business Rewards Gold card? Wondering what are the chances of them approving the Platinum since i just received the Amex BRG 2 months ago. And what reason to give for wanting another biz charge card?
Where??There is an active 1o0k point offer for $10k spend with another 50k points after an addtional $10k in spend. Total of 170k MR points for $20k spend within three months.
there is targeted offers floating around these days but no linksWhere??
I think that is OK, but if you prefer and are willing to share, could you DM me with the info? If so, much appreciated. If not, not to worry. Thanks!The 150k offer must be called in. Got it for both my wife and me. Its currently being shared on one of the populare public Forums. (are we allowed to refer to what's on other websites like Flyertalk or DansDeals?)
Did this using your instructions and it worked like a charm - thanks much.Over on DanDeals.com in the credit card forum. There is a post about a 150k MR deal. Basically you have to PM the guy who is handing out the phone RSVP. I did it a couple weeks ago, but that code died already. There is a new code being handed out and it seems to be active from people's posts. Someone said its valid through May 15th, but the last code(the one I used) died a week or two before its official date. I'm guessing Amex pulls the plug as soon as they realize people are sharing these.
Good luck! Its a high spend, but for a ton of MR points. Thank god for Redcard.
As a follow up to this...has anyone had theEasy - you need to keep expenses separate for different aspects of your business. I just called in this morning for a platinum, and its pending. I got a Business Gold in January.
As a datapoint, a good friend of our families owns and rents property. She keeps a separate credit card for every house she rents.... So this isn't some wierd idea to keep accounts separate and the Amex rep didn't bat an eye when I used a similar explanation for my own real estate ventures.
