Re: Pleasant surprise from Amex

Was looking over my account and noticed a $100 statement credit. Apparently I made the 1k spend within my 92 days. Wasn't expecting that. My philosophy is if it happens it happens, I'm not going to change my spending habits for it.

That's great. I will change my spending to meet spending requirements by paying AHEAD. Or taking a 1-2% hit on another card to put on the new card. But I normally sign up for cards with $500 spend requirements as I'm one who doesn't spend crazy amounts that often. And don't have enough money coming in to justify spending 3-4K in 3 months. Though if I had medical expenses, I probably would get a higher spend card.

Congrats OP! I was happy when I saw the 50K bonus on my PRG last month!

congrats!

my mandatory spending is pretty low, but whenever I get a new card with high SUB spend required I just buy all the stuff I should have been buying for the past few months and was neglecting out of busyness, lazyness, or forgetfulness. It all seems to balance out

I do switch the card I use for purchases/bills (if I remember) but that's pretty much all I do.
