last June he did the same with the gold Ameriprise
he currently has four credit (the above ones plus the no-fee Hilton which is his long-term keeper card) and one charge card with Amex
his member since date is ‘97
hope this helps
Did the popup explain why they weren't going to honor the bonus? Did it explicitly mention that it was because of too many open cards or that they just didn't feel like giving him the bonus?
