Gold Biz closed 6 months ago

I think I got it from the thread, is the consensus here:

1) I closed my Gold Biz card 6 months ago, and
2) I haven't had Platinum Biz card in 12 months, and
3) the language of my offer says: "Welcome bonus offer not available to applicants who have or had this product within the last 12 months..."
4) that would mean I should qualify for 150,000 MR points once I spend $20k in 3 months. Right?

Anyone had this similar situation or knows if points will post? Maybe it is too early to say. My offer is valid till 9/1/14, so I have about 5 weeks to pull the trigger.

Thank you,

PedroNY

Correct me if I'm wrong but holding a biz gold, wouldn't it be worth it to briefly upgrade to the biz play, meet the min spend, then close and keep the MRs active through my reg plat? There's an offer in my account for 35k after 5k spend in six months

Sounds like you'd lose your bite at the 150K apple.

You'd have to wait a year before getting the business plat again?

Interesting... Called today re: Plat business card, and they told me that the 150K offer didn't exist, but they were more than happy to give me the $10K spend within 3 months for 100,000 bonus points... I turned it down... Gimme the 150K, Amex!

Correct however, to understanding once you hold a biz gold or plat, your DQed from any sign up bonus for a year from date of closure. So if I hold a gold, that'll disqualify me from a plat bonus?

Does anyone have any RSVP codes for share for a Business Platinum Card of 150,000? Opening up a small business and trying to get 150,000. I did call in and they said they can offer me 100,000 but would like to see if anyone has 150,000 before I open one.

If there is a generous person who has a offer they don't plan to use, please PM the RSVP code to me. Thanks!
