Newbie question - will manufactured spending be easily flagged as suspicious and trigger a financial review? I don't have a legitimate biz but I need some flying bleu miles. 10k spending is too deep for me without MS. I've had personal PRG before, closed it this year, so personal plat might not be accessible to me.
TIA

Holding a personal Gold card now has no bearing on your eligibility for a personal Platinum card new account bonus. However, if have ever held a personal Platinum charge card you are not eligible to receive another bonus.

Just got the 50k business gold offer. I had the card before >12 months back, but also had the business platinum <12 months back. In the terms I saw the bonus is available unless I had business gold in last 12 months, so I thought I qualified.
Now I saw the wiki says the 50k offer is not for those who had any business gold/plat/green in last 12 months? Is the wiki inaccurate? Should I confirm with Amex before making the spend?

If you apply for the 75k offer (after $10k spend in 90 days), you can still get the bonus even if you already currently have the business platinum card.
I just applied, and verified this. (I have the Bus. Plat. , and just got the 75k Bus. Gold card).

They have updated stamps.com to be under the category "CATEGORY
BUSINESS SERVICES - MAILING & SHIPPING"
So now it should be fine for 2x going forward, however if you spent any money at stamps.com in the past 3 months I highly doubt they will retroactively credit it unless you call in and have them 'research the case' which now should be very quick since they have had at least 2 people do this in the last week or so (my business partner as well as me).

Got an offer for 75k bonus points for the Business Gold Card. called last night to apply and the rep said stamps.com would NOT receive the 3x points for the "shipping" category.
I spend about 60k per year through stamps.com on my SPG Amex card. I checked my last couple of purchases on my SPG card and the transactions post as "business services - mailing & shipping".
I would love to get the Business Gold Card and select "shipping" as my 3X points category.
Can anyone here verify Stamps.com purchases are being awarded as 2X points (or 3X if this was your extra point category)?
