Since this card gives bonvoy gold, does that mean you only need 25 more nights to reach plat, or do you still need 50?
Still 50 nights

It's possible to get above 40k MR this year. Depending on length of membership and spending
AFAIK, while they have marketed this card as "no preset limit", there is a backend limit assigned to your account based on various factors such as average spending, payment history and outstanding on other AMEX credit card. This limit varies from time to time based on these factors.
If you hit the "back-end limit" (e.g. an extraordinary big value transaction), the transaction may not get an approval and instead a "referral" call to check.
If you want to set a lower limit, you can do so by calling the CSO. In fact, at the point of online application, one can state his/her preferred credit limit as well.
hi guys for the MR bonus for $20k spend, does pay small (instalment) transactions count towards the 20k?
no more ST Regis $100*2 vouchers, replaced by $50*2 JAAN and $50*2 Violet Oon. Both can only use one voucher each visit. yucks.
Is this part of the welcome offer? When I asked about what’re the welcome offers, cS mentioned $800 travel credit and $750 hotel and resort benefits....this isn’t mentioned...or any 1night hotel night stay
Just called AMEX on renewal offer
Still have St Regis/W hotel stay
No more Capella stay
Will give stack of vouchers + same 400 travel + 400 lodging credit.
MR points can be given after you pay the annual fee, the amount of MR points given is case by case basis.
Hey guys,
My annual income is unfortunately right smack between the minimum incomes for Platinum Reserve and Platinum Charge. I applied for the Platinum Charge and got rejected.
Has anyone gotten invited for the Charge card from holding a Reserve card? The benefits of the Reserve is pretty underwhelming but I don't mind getting it if it offers a "backdoor" entry to the Reserve card.
Worth it or come back when earning enough?
Thanks
The problem is there is no purpose in having high spend on the Plat Reserve/Credit as it has a terrible earning rate. It is purely a lifestyle card. The $5k target spend on signup would be achievable easily and could be somewhat justified due to the "accelerated" rewards.I've heard cases where people have been invited to upgrade from platinum reserve and even from platinum credit card. Apparently based on high spend and good payment.
How much did you charge and how long did you wait before applying?I got the amex ascend (spent a fair bit) and then got to apply for the charge card

Has it closed down permanently? Or just for the time being?The platinum nook is no longer available when I went there. Amex did not seem to inform
