Just signed up for this forum and wanted to say thanks..
I was very very very worried about not getting the 75k points with $1500 spending but I took a leap of faith and tried it, got the call in for the application and then got approved the rep retold me the program.
Also based on the information here I applied for the AMEX and was instantly approved. I called to verify the information and it was the same 75k with $1500 in spending.
150k in points is going to be nice, I have a lot of flying to do soon!!
I do have two questions for the group..
After you reach the 1500 spending limit, how long before the points are in your account? (I am making a long 2week trip the beginning of JULY and hoping to be able to use the points)
I have also read that some are saying that this card also comes with companion airfare for free.. true or not????
Thanks Everyone
