We're thinking about just going for the 100k points after $5k spend.... Not sure if it's worth to spend extra $10k just for 50k points....?
I applied using my parent's rsvp code over the phone this past Monday. The agent on the phone did not ask if that code was targeted for me, so I guess if last name and address match, it should be fine. The result was pending initially (status: in progress), but was finally approved today after calling new account department a few times to check on the status. The agent who took my application confirmed the 150K points after $15k spend in 3 months. The online chat agent also confirmed 150K bonus points today after I was approved..... I'll ask again when i activate my card over the phone.
We'll see if 150K points are indeed posted after I spend $15K in 3 months. I currently have a personal platinum, so hopefully having a personal platinum will not prevent me from getting bonus points for business platinum.
