My local natural gas company allows me to prepay up to $1,000 on a credit card for a $1.65 flat fee. That’s a great way to earn miles and help meet a spend threshold. My electricity supplier allows me to pay with a credit card for free as long as I am enrolled in autopay.

6 months spending?
Correct, you’ll have 6 months with this offer.
You actually have 6 months to meet the 4k spend, not just 3 months.
I’m actually considering this card. I was wondering if there’s any way of knowing when they’ll change it back to 3 months.
When they feel like changing it 😀
True that. Do they typically warn ahead of time, or they just change the offer and takes into effect immediately?
I’ve seen it both ways.
@Dan When do they charge the first annual fee? And if I had an Amex Gold card 3+ years ago, would I get the bonus?
Same
No
I think the gold card’s purchase protection actually includes lost items now too.
I got declined automatically and when I called to be consideration line they said due to covet they are not doing reconsiderations. Is that accurate, is there a different number I can call? Thank you so much for all your expertise
Dan – what is the highest offer you have seen for this card?
@Dan on a separate note, Chase is having a promo of up to 50% points value for Apple products. Do you think this is a good way to use chase points?
@sol – I saw that too but I thought Chase required you to purchase the Apple product through their shopping mall and I’m wondering if the Apple products there are more expensive? If its straight go to Apple store buy an iphone and redeem with Chase points there might be value there.
Is there a fee the first year? Can it be downgraded to a no AF amex card?
Yes,
No, cheapest downgrade is Green card for $150 (with which you should still be able to transfer points to airlines), otherwise you’ll need to close the card if you don’t want to pay the annual fee.
@Dan – AMEX is the strangest CC company. I am repeatedly receiving a pop up saying I’m not eligible for intro promo bonus offers. I’ve never at any point owned a CC that earns AMEX points. My FICO is above 850. I never carry a balance. I do hold several Chase and Citi cards. It is odd that over the last 5 years anytime I attempt to open an AMEX member rewards card I get rejected for the bonus and have to withdraw my application. I hold Amex Hilton cards and an AMEX Delta card but those earn Hilton and Delta points.
Why do they discriminate against me? Even stranger yet they constantly solicit me for affinity cards like Hilton and Delta so they are not concerned about my credit risk but they seem to be babies about me enjoying their points. Are they just afraid I will take advantage of them? AMEX is very low in my eyes. Any advice on how to straighten these idiots out?
You are taking it too personally. They may be making a mistake when they deny you a chance to get the bonus, but it would be a bot making that technical error, not some greedy Amex executive. You can try your luck with some of the Amex executive contacts, which are a bit higher up than regular Amex customer service and may step in when regular customer service cannot resolve an issue. https://www.elliott.org/company-contacts/american-express/
I’m having exactly the same issue
Did any of you with this issue ever give your SSN to someone who promised money to you? Even if he followed through and gave you the money, it would mean he probably applied for every possible card in your name. If you never did anything like this, it is truly an issue and you should contact Amex executive customer service.
Can I get this offer if I once had this card?
How do I check if I ever had this card?
There have been reports of it working after 5 or 6 years.
When you apply, it will tell if you aren’t eligible for the bonus and you can cancel the application.
Can I buy a airline gift card and and get the annual 100 airline credit
https://www.dansdeals.com/credit-cards/testing-using-2020-amex-airline-fee-credits-airline-vouchers-bonus-credits-will-use/
What would the best card option for hotel spend?
if I had the gold card 5 years ago would I still not be eligible
There have been reports of it working after 5 or 6 years.
When you apply, it will tell if you aren’t eligible for the bonus and you can cancel the application.
Why do you say doubled dip and not triple dip with 2022?
If I apply and get approved today 12/17, will I get card on time for 2020 airline credit?
they give you you a temporary card number right away
What about upgrades? Will upgrading tonight still qualify? Got a 40k upgrade offer. (Prob gonna take it regardless, but timing..)
Does anyone know if grubhub credit works on gift cards?
If I currently have the gold card would I be able to request a Rose gold card?
Try and let us know 🙂
Was able to change to rose gold and all the AU as well
can you request a rose from the amex plat page?
Only the Gold card is available in Rose Gold.
If I already have the Amex Gold Business card, can I still qualify for this bonus and card? I could cancel the Bus Gold if I can’t have both. As I see most Amex offers have been targeted to the Consumer cards.
You can get the bonus and have both.
Pondering if Airline credit would be refreshed with downgrade to the Gold. The inverse was the case when upgrading – the airline credit was topped up to $200 – with same airline selected.
Can i switch to rose gold
Are additional card mebers eligible for the $120 Uber & Seamless credits?
how much is that points worth for cash back? can i pay my statement with it?
Whats would be the best card for a business that books a $10-15k a month of hotels for employees? Possibly amex
If I got shutdown from chase a year ago will that stop me from getting approved for business card?
Can one file an extended warranty claim if the card was used for the purchase but was since cancelled?
