Re: Got my white whale (Amex Gold)

That's awesome, congrats! 

 

I started at about 498 last January, and got up to 650 recently. I had two cap one cards for a while, but was just added as an authorized user on my mothers amex gold. I don't use it often but it does look really nice in my wallet Smiley Wink. I hope to be able to get my own soon.

Re: Got my white whale (Amex Gold)

Congrats KJ! Feels like a real accomplishment doesn’t it? I love mine - it’s a great card that can really work well for you. I’ve hit my SUB already (about 6-1/2 weeks is all it took) and the MRs posted within a day. I’m continuing to run the majority of my spend through it now, since the points accrue pretty quickly and I’m looking forward to booking some free airfare to surprise my wife with a getaway soon. Enjoy yours - I bet you’ll love it as much as I do!
