Just an update, tried to call to apply for the Gold card with a 60k signup bonus and was told I wouldn't be eligible for the SUB due to my Amex history so I might be in pop-up jail. I haven't cancelled any cards, but I haven't put any charges on it for a while, might try put some charges through...

So would my best course of action be: first to apply for gold over the phone and then call back to apply for the brilliant, after they're approved then upgrade the green to gold. Then downgrade one of the golds back to green? How easy would this be without an SSN/ITIN and no GT? Would the...

Oh I see, I've only ever had the green card. If I apply for the gold card separately, would that mean I'd have to wait a while to get the Brilliant then? The SUB is 185k and looks quite good too. Thanks for your reply!

I received an upgrade offer to the gold card from the green card this morning with 90k bonus points and $325 USD AF, I was planning to just keep the green card there to build my credit history, but it appears to be a good offer, not sure if there are any downsides to it? I was also planning to...

This has now been claimed

Just realised I have a lounge pass expiring tomorrow, hopefully someone can put it to good use. DM me if you'd like it.

Thought I'd post about a few stays from a while ago that I haven't had the chance to write about. Hopefully my memory serves me right. Hotel: InterContinental Grand Stanford Hong Kong When: Dec 2022 Status: Diamond Ambassador Rate: IHG Advance Booked: 2 Twin Classic High Floor Received: 2 Twin...

Thanks for clarifying, I got them confused. I meant to refer to the First check-in. After I checked in with AY, I walked over to the First check-in area for BA/AA, they checked my boarding bass at the door and let me in. I walked past the check-in desk and right to the front of TSA like you...

I flew AY through JFK back in Jan and was allowed to use the BA/AA Premium check-in to go through to security. They just checked my boarding pass at the front and let me through, although it wasn't too busy and there wasn't much of a security line anyway.

I submitted the form with my documents on the 7th, BA responded with my match to gold at midnight on the 9th. I also got an email from them to confirm the match went through. Maybe time to plan some trips before it expires, will be hard to extend it from here.

Was just able to log in now and submit the form. First try timed out and took me back to the log in page, second try it showed a confirmation after I submitted. Maybe try again now.

Has anyone been able to log in today? Finally decided to do it even though I have no trips planned yet, but I haven't been able to log in. Just showing an error every time, I try.

Sorry for the late reply, I've just returned! Unfortunately, I couldn't consolidate all my flights into a single OWA itinerary, so I had to take separate flights home. I tried to follow the advice to book flights first and adjust them later based on availability, but it seems I may have been...

Is this still the case if my trip commences? If I book a flight on an alternative date with the hope of changing it later, and the desired date never becomes available, leading me to cancel the booked leg with the alternative date, would I receive a refund of the additional points used? For...

The QF agent wasn't able to add it and the flight's no longer available now, looks like it could've been a divorced segment. I think I'll have to figure out another way soon. If I do book a flight with a different date, but my desired date does not become available last minute, do I lose the...

Thanks heaps all for the replies! Looks like I have a week to sort something out then oops. This is my current itinerary: 25/12/23: SYD-JFK - booked QF 27/1/24: LHR-HND - booked JL 28/1/24: HND-HKG - not booked, trying to have added with JL 28/1/24: HKG-SIN - booked CX 29/1/24: SIN-SYD -...

Hi ya'll, I'm in the process of trying to book my first OWA, I just need one more sector added to my itinerary, but when I called CS they were unable to add it and said they would get IT to help and call me back (surprise, they did not). The flight has now disappeared, and my itinerary is...

As blacksultan says, you won't be able to sign up without the card details to validate. I read somewhere that you can't sign up before you get your first card, even if you have the link. I tried to do the same and even called to get the same answer. I am guessing others who have existing...

I've only just started my US CC journey, so have only used it with Amex so far. Sorry, don't have experience with other banks yet. Hopefully soon!

I've been using Tello and it's been pretty reliable, works with AMEX for me. Once you sign up, you can install the e-sim on your phone. The e-sim only works with WiFi calling unless you activate it in the US apparently, but as long as you have wifi, it will receive calls and texts to that...
