how long until the prequal goes away after you get your cards? i was prequaled for QS and venture and got them both in november 2015 and, for about a week, the prequal went away. then came back and hasn't left yet. when will they update that?
i hate seeing prequals for things i feel are inaccurate lol
I got my V & QS in last August.......Following month it was still there so I went for V1(approved).....2 weeks later it went away.
Havent seen it since...... I just moved my QS1 limit over to QS few days ago. Thinking of cold apping for another V x 2.

what on earth is this mileageplus x app lolIt's by United Airlines... it's used to earn miles on United by making purchases (similar to an online portal, but it's an app). Purchases made through the app are processed under the 'airline' category... I think you can see where I'm going.
Folks have figured out that they can buy Amazon gift cards with the app using their PRG and Amex processes it like an airline incidental, reimbursing up to the usual $100 (most folks make two $50 purchases). It's said to work equally well for the Platinum reimbursement. (This is similar to the much-discussed purchasing of airline gift cards, but using the app you can get Amazon (or other) gift cards instead).
If this holds true for transactions processed by Visa, folks who don't have travel purchases to 'erase' on Venture might be able to simply buy an Amazon (or other) gift card with the app and use Venture 'miles' to cover the charge.
Here's a link on FW where the app is discussed (starts around 8th post):
