I am a complete newcomer at the credit card bonus game, and I have a question regarding Amex Plat cards.
Would having a Plat card on my credit (as well as its associated spending and payment records) help card issuers see me as worthier? I just imagined as it is a "premium" card for so-called high spenders.
Long story short: I get sent a great targeted offer, I applied for it and was approved. Subsequently, my business expenses allowed me to blow through the spending requirement and I have since had the card for a little over 2 months.
I have two other cards, a Discover cash back card (4+ months) and my C1 card (8+ months), and my monthly travel spending on the Amex alone would exceed the combined limit of the other two.
That said, I would like to do another application in September - when my C1 card is at least a year old - and I was wondering if looking at that "high" yet paid-in-full spending would make me look better. I am specifically looking at Chase.
Any pointers would be great, and thanks in advance!
