My questions are:
1) My preferred airline doesn't have a branded credit card in my country (lets say JL).
But I buy and fly JL and need the EQM on JL to keep my elite status.
If I subscribe and pay with a airline branded credit card (lets say AA) ,
Will i get EQM and ticket award miles to JL and CC award miles of AA CC separately?
2) If I choose the Amex Platinum, it is written you need 80.000 EUR yearly as income.
Is this calculated on gross salary, or on the greater/other revenue? (ex. renting your condo to tenants, etc.)
Many thanks in advance for the answers!
Welcome to FT.
1) Yes. The award and EQM accrual on the ticket you purchase on JL, would be the same regardless of what credit card you use to pay for the ticket. Then you would earn AA miles on the amount you charged to the AA co-branded credit card only.
2) It sounds like you're non-US based and I can only speak to the USA Amex applications, but for such the application asks for:
Include all income available to you. If under age 21, include only your own income. Income includes wages, retirement income, investments, rental properties, etc.
Alimony, child support, or separate maintenance need not be revealed if you do not wish to rely upon it.
However, you can check what the language is for your region by just starting the relevant Amex application and see how they define the income information asked for on the form. There may be a little "?" icon or similar next to the box for income where you can click to see more info on their definition.
What country are you based in? What is your preferred airline?
