so while he may load up on 10K worth of giftcards he needs a method of liquidating them...

not to hijack this thread, but you're going to lead this guy into some trouble. the link you provide is info from 2013, you can't load BB at walmart anylonger with giftcards, especially with anything that has to do with vanilla.

I am thinking about to apply the 100k bus plat. Don't know if I am eligible under the 12 month rule.
I had the bus gold from 1/1/13 to 1/1/14, and in between I upgraded to the bus plat, and it was down graded back to gold I June of 2014. Should I wait until 2015 or can I apply for the bus plat now?
Thanks

Applied and met the min spend $. Now the points are pending. So amex system is smart enought to know when I downgraded back to gold.
Thanks

Annual fee hit on my personal plat, called a few times asking for this 150k MR / $20k spend. Was told same thing each time, "Special offer w/ RSVP code necessary." Each agent immediately offered the 100k MR / $10k spend. I relented and took it. No complaints. While 150k would be nice, a $20k spend would be tough over these next few months.

Finally pulled the trigger on the 150k MR points for $20k spend in 3 months offer today. Instant approval.
I figure I can just float whatever spending deficiet I end up having by buying grocery and department store gift cards.
Good times.

Anyone have a current link of tips to manufacture spend? I won't sign up for the 150K offer to prevent issues with cash flow but 10K is probably doable as long as I can manufacture about 4K of that.
