Re: Oh no! Amex offer:-/

I'd say this offer is not really outstanding and it has been around on creditcards.com for at least several months now. It is slightly better than the usual 30/35k offers, but it is not something I'd jump the boat without further thinking it through.

BTW, someone recently posted about getting a personalized mail offer from Delta/Amex for 50k skypesos with even lower spending requirement, so it's not at all exclusive with $5k for 45k.

 

If it was 70k or even 75k miles offer, I'd personally applied for it the very first minute I saw it Smiley Very Happy

In my wallet now: Amex PRG NPSL, Amex BCE $15k $17k (thanks to recent CLI), Chase Freedom 11k, CSP $6k, Chase United ME $5k, Citi Dividend $5.6k, Discover It $4.5k and a handful of other cards...
TU Dec 2013 - 752Sep 2013 - 764 - new all time maximum

Obsolete data aboveCurrent TU - probably around ~810, only using a few Chase & BofA cards now, not applying for much until we buy a house

Re: Oh no! Amex offer:-/

I was fond of my 100k after $3k from the AMEX Plat, but yeah honestly. Not really worth jumping on an offer for 45k sky peso's.

Too many INQs & low AAoA so I'm off to tend the Garden.     Age:23

Re: Oh no! Amex offer:-/

Well, it was 25k after first purchase
Lol...
So theoretically, if I pay no AF for a year, buy a pack of gum for $1.89, and get a free birthday trip...that makes it worthwhile. Forget that $5k spend. Ain't nobody got time fuh dat...
I'd rather spend $5k on my BCE. LOL
It's the only card I really like of Amex's.

I also saw those 15 month 0% on BCEs on credicards.com...and a 12.99% apr after.

My BCE only got 12 mos 0% apr and a 22.24% apr thereafter. Any chance I could get Amex to extend my 0% and lower my apr ? Lol
Heh not that I need it...

Re: Oh no! Amex offer:-/

25k for a pack of gum seems worthy. If you up for getting rid of the card after the year then go for it. I try to avoid cards that have no use other than the bonus offer.

Re: Oh no! Amex offer:-/

Get United Explorer card then - there are links out there for 50k UA miles + 5k miles for an authorized user (add your dog if you have nobody around Smiley Happy - Chase seems to be fine with that not asking for SSN for AU) with $1k spending required.

I bet 55k UA miles will potentially get you a better birthday trip than 25k Delta miles...

Re: Oh no! Amex offer:-/

Omg! I can't wait to be out of the garden! Chase has some very good looking rewards cards! I just wish I'd get more targeted offers!
