re: Credit Card Rewards and Points Discussion

Any chance the Southwest card bonus goes up from 40k in the next few weeks? I got the Southwest business card and will hit the spending limit for the 60k in January. Should I go ahead and get the personal now at 40k or wait to see if it goes to 50k next year?

This has been such a pleasant thread for such a long time... why can’t you guys find an OT thread to fight on?

Yeah, I got my CSR right after they changed it too. But AMEX travel credit is shite compared to CSR so it's a trade off. I'm keeping my CSR unless I really decide MR are better for me and I go AMEX Plat. I would probably get the CSP at that point instead. But I think UR are great for me so far.

There’s my full post right there from weeks ago you stupid frick. Travel credit is shite compared to CSR. I stick to that even though your whiney arse can’t take it for some reason. You pay a higher fee for the Plat than the CSR, get a lesser travel credit in actual dollars, and can’t use it for all travel like CSR. As it is you have to register it for AMEX and can only use it easily on a few airlines and you have to choose 1 airline for the year. CSR gives you the $300 on anything that codes as travel. Are you really arguing how much better and easy it is?

Like I said, travel credit is shite compared to CSR. Arguing it makes you look like a total moron. You’re not calling anything out other than attention to you not having a clue of what you’re doing.

ETA: in case you’re still unclear TPG go to #5 talking about the credits. Or Award Wallet scroll down a little. Unless you think The Points Guy and Award Wallet are “incompetent”? Or another link LINK. I could keep going but no need, you’ll move the goal posts. Again, I like AMEX, just think the travel credit could be much better and easier to use. Sorry that put sand in your vagina.

I may get the Plat but testing the Gold with MR first. I think the Plat is great for some people especially if you can make use of the Uber, Saks, etc credits. Since I won’t use the Centurion lounges much that’s another reason I’m not sure on it yet. I’d love to try them out though. I did my GE a couple years ago and got the $100 credit on my Prestige when I had it. United I’d drop unless you fly them a lot. Marriott could be a keeper for the free night unless you don’t use it?

speaking of crawfishing. Move dem goal posts, brah.

I made one post about the comparison of the travel credit between CSR and AMEX. I haven’t posted anything negative of AMEX before, dumbass. And once again you’re going away from what I originally said; I didn’t diss your little baby AMEX for the travel opportunities. They have a great ecosystem. I simply said the AMEX $200 credit compared to the CSR $300 credit is shite. Not that it’s shite alone. I honestly can’t believe I have to type this out for you again but I’m trying to help your pussy from bleeding anymore. In other words on its own merit it’s fine, but when you compare the two, CSR wins that travel credit easily. Everyone agrees with that and if you have the card as you say there’s no way you disagree. It’s more money and easier to use for a cheaper AF. Good Lord, man.

I didn’t tell anyone not to get the AMEX or try to discourage anyone. I said this about the travel credit in my post about getting the AMEX . I mean, you have to be half brain dead. There’s nothing wrong with getting both and that’s what I did. AMEX has better perks on some things over CSR. Too bad you can’t fricking read because we would’ve avoided this ridulous back and forth as I’m an AMEX fan. Obviously not as much as you though.. And yes, you’re definitely who people should listen to over places like TPG, AW, Forbes, MMS, etc etc and a whole bunch of other articles saying the same thing I did. Can you leave it alone yet or are you going to change the story again?

In reply to the SW CC question, there are 50K signups at the airport if you're able to sign up on a trip. Also there's this link which sounds like it may work for some people if you're not going to be in an airport soon.

Has anyone had their AMEX account "under review?" I transferred 125K to my fiancee (authorized user) ANA account, which went through, but when I went to transfer mine I get the error "This action will not be completed because of an attempt to sell or otherwise transfer Membership Reward points to someone else which is not permitted under the terms and conditions of the program." I call customer service who essentially says it's an automatic review and could take 6-8 weeks to complete. No one can tell me any more information, "it's at corporate" and they don't have contact info for them. I can't seem to find much about it online either. My flight availability will almost definitely be gone by then. Any ideas?

You pussy, STFU.

I've posted plenty on this thread and helped many people. Go cradle your AMEX in your arms and tell her it's going to be alright. You've been shown your arse over and over and all you've done is muddy the thread up, go away.
