I received Amex in April and TD in October. No issue with multiple cards. TD is just a pain with respect to credit limits but that was addressed with a rather lengthy branch visit. You should be fine. I continue to use both actively.
You will appreciate Amex posting SQM boosts shortly after the transaction threshold is reached, and not waiting for a statement date. It's also got a better earn rate on AC flights and i've made my fee back in valet discounts and parking rebates.
PM me if you want additional info or a referral.

 

I submitted a claim in August for a car rental from YEG to YYC after delayed AC flight from YYZ caused us to miss our connection in YEG (to avoid having to overnite
in YEG after previously having the infamous flt #153 cancelled the day before).
The claim was showing as in process for 2 months. I emailed. No response. I finally called. Agent said everything was good and payment coming soon.
I waited a week. Called again. Better agent said she would escalate it. Next day I get an email asking for original AC itinerary. I sent it (for the 2nd time).

I received an email 2 days later saying claim approved. Cheque in mail 2 days after that. All told it took 3 months from date of sending claim.

I would call & rattle their cage.

Thanks.

Sounds like things have gone downhill there too...

 

I had great recent experience--immediate response and payment to car rental agency for damage in August, filed as soon as I received paperwork from agency and paid within 2 weeks of filing.

 

I hit the threshold on my September 6 statement date. 10 weeks puts me at Nov 15. I have nothing as of yet. No eups or SQM.

 

That does not sound good. I already had this card but I alerted a friend to the promo, he signed up, and he hit the spending threshold around October 20th, just before his first statement posted. He got the 15k SQM within a week or two.

 

In an almost identical boat - as is Mrs Actuary. Getting a little annoyed/anxious about it.

 

Anxious is the word for me. Who do we call? I tried Amex and they said there was no promo for that so try Aeroplan. But not sure who to call.

 

I think I remember reading that there is a date deadline to get the Aeroplan Reserve card in order to roll over e-upgrades.. I hastily cancelled my primary card, and use only my supplementary card of my wife's account...(not realizing that the roll over is only for primary) I'll get my own card back if it's not too late.... Anyone know?

Thanks,

Question about the Amex Aeroplan Reserve and the Amex Platinum card.

1) For lounge access, do I simply need to be a card holder (with a boarding pass), or must the ticket be bought with my card?

2) I just got the Aeroplan Reserve pretty much to be able to roll over my unused eUps and the welcome bonus, but I don't know that my business travel will ever get back to levels that will even get me close to SE anymore so I'm wondering if the Platinum Card might not be a better option?

3)And for the Aeroplan Reserve, once I lose my status, can I access all MLL, or is it only domestic and transborder?

 

it�s in the standard blurb on the page:

Thank you! I was looking on the Amex site.

 

While its dependent on your individual situation, I recently applied (for similar reasons) and was approved on-line in a minute or so. Within an hour I received an e mail from Aeroplan stating that my account had been linked to the new card! Given all of AC's other IT challenges this was very hard to believe.

 

1) Cardholder and account linked. There is not a requirement to purchase the ticket with the card.
3) All MLL in Can/US. (e.g. no access in Europe). Card does come with Priority Pass enrolment, which may result in a fee per visit.
2) You will have to compare the two and assess your anticipated travel. If you will have enough travel to maintain 50K, then you still have lounge access and other *G access. If not totally invested in Aeroplan, then Platinum will accumulate MR points, redeemable via AMEX and/or transferable to many programs (including Aeroplan).

 

I have two AMEX 1,000 SQM thresholds from the beginning of November that did not post. One from later in November did post. Historically, I've seen the status boost bonus post within 2-3 days so this is an exception.

Does anyone have any experience chasing down missing SQM from AMEX?
