Strategy to obtain US Amex

[Ko0l]

Looks like I may have already been blacklisted by Chase.

Applied for a Marriott Boundless card and it has been declined due to previous unsatisfactory relationship with no way to recon.

Only other card I previously had was the ink preferred which was approved, then account locked for review when trying to activate the card. Subsequently closed by chase due to having a thin credit file.

Is the Amex MR points transfer to the US allowed once per calendar year or once per 12 month period ?

I had a lengthy debate with them on this (As they messed up my transfer in Nov). They 100% assured me it was per calendar year and I could do another one as soon as Jan 1 - i haven’t done it yet as I’m about to gain some more points with a card upgrade here but will then test what they said. I have it in writing if they try and wriggle out of it

If it says per calendar year , would you mind sharing it with me as well ?

Don't think you can do anything to expedite. It takes a few days

Did someone on here say it was quicker if the transfer was initiated from the US Amex account ?

Currently AU Amex char mentioned it can take 2 weeks .
On my first try US Amex said it can’t be done .

They told me that too but in practice it took a few days.
