Then I applied for the Green card and it went through without the pop up.

About 1 month between getting pop up and not getting pop up.

Thanks. I just looked at the accounts (there's only 2) and the Hilton was an upgrade so we put $3K on it up until late August and the Everyday is used for Amex offers. I'm pretty surprised that wasn't enough. I'll try putting more on it as you advise. Would it help to actually call Amex and ask? Or is this one of those situations where I should definitely NOT ask?
