If you want to guarantee the MR points, convince your mom to apply for the card and you can always help her out with the spending. Unfortunately the airport lounge access benefits would not be available to you, unless you add yourself as an authorized user ($175)

I received an offer letter in the mail for an Amex Platinum for 100K points with a $3K, 3 month spend requirement. My only question is that if I received this offer letter, does that mean I'm prequalified? I'm 24 with good credit (706) and a decent annual salary of $45K-$50K and very few monthly expenses. What are my chances of being approved if not already preapproved? I have until 11/30/13 to respond to the 100K offer.
Also, I have only held a Delta Amex for 2 years now.

Got a 100k biz plat offer today in the mail. I already have a biz gold, but nothing in the T&C in the mailer mentions anything about not qualifying for the points if youve had a gold biz card within 3 months or a year (which is what it states if you go through the websites). What do you think?

The answer is yes. Got a mail sent to my address intended for previous owner offering 100K points for business card. But it requires $10K spend in 3 months vs. $3k spend for the personal card offered to my spouse. Also it misses some of the benefits offered to personal card, e.g. companion ticket.

American Platinum 50k offer... enroll or wait
Been looking to switch to Amex Platinum for a few months now and received a 50k bonus offer.
Am I better off taking this offer or do you think there will likely be a better offer before the end of the year?
