[Money] Amex Business Gold Card - 25,000 bonus Aeroplan miles!

[dinesh_zee]

As long as you have decent credit, you can have multiple AMEX products. Each card - especially across lines (ie business/Aeroplan/personal) is considered a "different" card so you can get it ... but even within a line you can have more than one (so you can have a charge Platinum and a charge Gold with no issues).

If I cancel my Amex Gold card and apply for Amex Business Gold card, will be unused MR points transferred over to the card? Or, can I link both the cards before cancelling one?

If anybody has 2 Amex MR points cards, please help!

I got the second card 1st, then cancelled the 1st, then points transferred automatically.

Is getting the second card 1st, then cancelling the 1st the best method of getting a 2nd card? Did you use the same business name?

Even if it wasn't Amex, I would find it unlikely to be fraud since they know your name, company name and the fact that you applied for an Amex. So they already have more info on you than they need.

That said - no, it's not fraud - Amex DOES call you and check. It's more of a courtesy call, though. They don't really want anything from you - just to confirm you exist.

If it happens again, then get the identification from them the same way they ask you when you call to find out why the alerts are not working. Ask the rep company's DOB, SIN, address, phone number, mother's maiden name, codes on the card, security code, and all other information and then proceed to tell them that you do not have the information they are asking for. And that you will work on it. But first of all, get a phone and a machine that when they call, it will ask them to punch few dozen numbers to get to you and then play a nice music before you pick it up.

Don't forget to make it so that you make them punch at least 15 numbers, and the first question you ask them when you actually talk to them is "Hello, welcome to <whatever>, could you please tell me the account # that you are calling about?"

If you shop at Costco, then getting their cash cards would work for you and then you will be set for few months. Not sure where you are but prepay your cable/internet for a year. Again depending on your provider, car/auto insurance and security might be another consideration. Start a business, get the points and when it the business works out, make lots of money that will negate the need for the points in the future. Last suggestion was for fun as I was in the same situation and did just that.

hm..when i enter the website, there's a big banner on the top. But if you use a saved link or click home page or get to credit card links, it all says $75.

So, open a new webpage and just enter the site fresh.
