AMEX Spend $750/$1000 first 3 months 65,000pts/40,... - myFICO® Forums

Hi, I have a AMEX HHonors and Amex Delta Skymiles card i recently got about a month and a half ago. I need to spend $750 on hhonors in 3 months to get 65,000 points and $1000 on delta to get $1000. Unfortunately I only got a CL of $1,000 on both. So I got wait to get an increase of them both for what I really wanted to use them for.

Anyways, for now Im paying bills with them. My question is, for example, I just paid my phone bill of $210 on the Delta one and immediately paid the card down to $0 balance. Will that $210 count towards the $1000 or did I have to wait for the statement to come in then pay?

The 210 counts towards the needed spend. Amex knows how much you have spent on the card and don't need to rely on credit reports

Right.. just spend and pay it off and you're good. Whatever you choose to let report is up to you.
