I say, go for it.

 

At worse, you get HP/approved.

 

At best, you get a SP/denial.

Can I get a celebratory PRG app in???!?!?!???!?

 

:smileysurprised:


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? :smileywink:

 

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.
