- If you’re Platinum with Marriott/SPG, you should take a minute to get status with Hertz too. Assuming you don’t have it already.
- If you’re a VERY big spender who hasn’t an Amex Business Platinum card before, you might want to look at this offer worth 100,000 points. Like most people, if $25,000 in 3 months is crazy to you, then skip it. Plenty of targeted methods (75,000 to 100,000 points) have come along and worked for people without that kind of spending.
- Interesting email from reader JD:
I’ve been planning to get the Chase Sapphire Reserve ever since I was denied (over 5 cards in last 24 months) during the 100,000 point bonus period even with lots of money in Chase accounts, sterling credit, applying in-branch with Chase Private Client help, etc. Bummer.
So a week ago I finally downgraded my Sapphire Preferred to a Freedom Unlimited, and went in-branch to try again. I was told I’ll have to wait for Chase to pick up the Equifax report showing I no longer have a Sapphire Preferred card. This will take (they say) 30 to 90 days. Keep in mind there hasn’t been an in-branch bonus over the standard 50,000 point offer since 3/31/2017.
Have a great weekend, nerds!
