I say, go for it.
At worse, you get HP/approved.
At best, you get a SP/denial.

Happy B-Day
if you want to app for something app for an AMEX product so a denial is only a SP

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LS!!!
If PRG stands for Premier Rewards Gold by AMEX, I say go for it. If you're denied, it will be a SP and you lose nothing. If you are approved it will be a HP but who cares....you will be APPROVED! LOL!!
Gosh...I feel like such a bad influence!!

$150 or 195 AF or something akin to that? Also poor use of backdating, which is to say none I think in LS's case? ![]()
Amex reward structure works such that you can link a Zync against a Gold easily enough at any point in the future and get all your MRE -> MR AFAIK (props to Open123 for originally preaching that here). As a result, if you don't *need* the MR points right now, keep the money in your pocket and apply in January or whatever anyway next year.

Thanks for pointing that out Revelate. I wish more folks were supportive of LS's app abstinence until he can maximize what he has already earned. I can't believe that people are telling him to go for it when it makes NO SENSE whatsoever.

I support his abstinence but have pretty much given up on telling people not to app, LOL!
