He never has an A+. He was trying to go under 5/24 by Sept to get a CSP to replace the CSR. The only new cards the past 12 months were CSR and AMEX Biz 2x. We even delayed his IHG which he would be eligible for another bonus since Mar or Apr. Then he got the 100K targeted offer in August and we decided to hold off, especially g iven the fact we would be out of the country for most of August and half of Sept.

Alas. Chase changed its policy on Aug 27 from what I read when we were out of the country. There is no more reason to try to get below 5/24. I just wish we did his Aviator sooner while we were still aboard due to the Aviator does not require spend, only first purchase. Alas we came home on Sept 16 and everything has changed. So we picked the surer bet first.

Apparently Aviator app has not triggered a pull as Creditwise only sent an alert on the pull from A+ but no alert from Aviator app 10 or 15 min later.
