Amex Platinum and United Explorer Approval

Lostinthegame · ‎01-04-2021

It's been a few days but I'm pretty happy about getting both the United Explorer card (was at 4/24), and Amex Platinum card (100k, 10x on gas) the same day.

I'm also $600 away from meeting the Explorer SUB, and halfway on the Platinum

It's now time for me to sit on my little corner and garden!

Congratulations on your approvals!

Congrats on your approvals!! I wanted the United Explorer card too... it was going to be a 2020 card once I fell below 5/24 but then 2020 turned out to be 2020 so I never went for it because it would remind me of all the travel I wasn't going to be doing. Still on my list though-- maybe late 2021. Anyway - great approvals, enjoy!

I totally understand. I received the card in December because of the 70k SUB! It's the highest I've seen so, and hoping 2021 is different, I went for it

Yeah Dang it!! I didn't know about the 70K SUB. Should've paid attention knowing they'd offer the best SUB when folks aren't paying attention....

arggghh
