Just tried again at home this morning and the 60k MR appeared on left hand box. All is good, not really sure why it wasn't showing up on the iPad last night. I applied and got approved.
Thanks Jerry and ace and bizee!
But at what cost

thanks, all makes sense now. i think i will skip this for now. one is i dont have a way to spend $5K twice to realize full benefits and i am just starting out.G0DKING wrote: ↑ Fixed it for you a bit (in bold)
Basically, if you start with AMEX Platinum Business then self-refer to Gold Business:
75k Plat Business welcome - $400 Plat Business AF + 25k Plat Business Referral to Gold Business + 40k Gold Business Welcome = 140k(minimum $1400) - $400 = Minimum $1000 for the two cards
If you start with AMEX Gold Business then self-refer to Platinum Business:
40k Gold Business Welcome + 10k Gold Business Referral to Plat Business + 75k Plat Business welcome - $400 Plat Business AF = 125k(minimum $1250) - $400 = Minimum $850 for the same two cards

so i will get my feet wet with some baby crunching with AMEX Personal Gold (250K points for 1.5K spending). also that will give me a feel of whats involved and if i want to keep doing this. Let me give it some more thought.

Separate in-branch offer? 15k for chequing + Aeroplan CC?Flitox wrote: ↑ Woot! I just received 15K Aeroplan miles from a TD in-branch only deal offered for opening a premium chequing account AND an TD Visa Aeroplan a the same time. On top of that, I will probably receive:
- $300 cash deposit for TD all-inclusive/unlimited chequing account facebook promo
- 2x 25K Aeroplan miles as TD Aeroplan Visa Infinite welcome bonuses (I wanted one card, but TD mistakes made me get approved for two cards :P

Didn't see any sheet. The agent noticed the offer when he was checking what's offers are available on his computer
"probably" because TD is known to be finicky in regards to honoring their promo offers without reminding from the client

They try sometimes... I just politely give them the Megan Trainor rendition.... No.... No... No... No thank you... Please cancel... No... No...ChrisAG wrote: ↑ Has anyone been given attitude by a CSR when you cancel one of these cards?
I recently called to cancel an RBC Avion Infinite, but the first call was "disconnected" within 5 seconds of me stating I wanted to cancel. Second call I got a different representative and she terminated the card without a hassle.
Years ago I cancelled an MBNA card and the CSR actually got huffy, asking why I wanted to cancel. She was angry! I kept my cool and reiterated my wish to cancel, and she relented.
Maybe they get a reprimand from management if they can't convince a customer to keep the card.

Hmm, let's see. By suggesting someone who isn't into the Aeroplan game to apply for cards when it may not be in their best interest, and then asking them to contact you by PM so that you can throw yet another shameless Amex referral at them, so you can get some free points, whether it be the right fit for the new applicant or not? Or do you not go over those details with the people that you contact by PM? Hmm?

I have had a recent experience of getting them on the first statement after spending the $500 for the personal card.
Dec 14th, 2016 9:10 pm
I had this same situation with my personal AMEX CPA Gold. Took about 8 weeks for the 25,000 to post after meeting minimum spend. The MR account was linked to my Platinum card as well.Gonkman wrote: ↑ FYI...
I passed the spend on my Amex Gold Personal and it took just over 8 weeks for the welcome bonus to show up (Today). My MR account for the Personal Gold was linked to my Personal Platinum as the main card.
Still waiting on my Gold Business bonus points to post but it has only been about 5 weeks since I passed the $5K Spend. Same situation as my Gold Personal.... my Business Gold is linked to my Personal Platinum all as one MR Account.
ie: All MR Pts show up under my Personal Platinum and Gold Personal and Gold Business both show "Refer to Card XXXX for Pts Balance".

I saw your post at the Points Programs Tips thread.Beckky1988 wrote: ↑ I don't know anyone with an Amex,its not accepted in so many places.I don't understand what you mean by getting 40000 points if I ask for a referral link.The Amex website said 30000 points.won't they want me to prove that I have a business? If I use my name and don't have to send them any proof,later on if they find out I don't have a business,wont they report me to the police for fraud?

Let's go along with this, and assume you applied Sat nite, Sun morning. Now, it sounds like this is your first Amex card. Standard procedures with Amex is to not give instant approval, requiring you to call in to verify your ID if you want to speed up the application, or you can wait for them to positively identify you which normally takes a few days.
And you're stating now that you received the Biz Gold card on Wed Dec 14th? I find this very hard to believe.
FYI, I also applied for the Biz Gold card on Sun, saw my Transunion file was pulled and I got instant approval. I called Amex to enquire on where my card is and the rep said that my card was just stamped and popped into the mail the for delivery yesterday (Dec 14), yet you were able to get it stamped and MAILED to your home while my new card was still being placed into an envelop for delivery?
This reeks of yet another trolling alternate / alias account.

Yeah, this is a referral. I'll have to wait than.
Thanks for the info.
