Do you happen to know if a transfer that results in a card having a credit line over $25,000 will result in a hard pull? I know that was the case at one time, but not sure about now. Thanks.

Thinking of upgrading the standard Bonvoy AMEX to the premium one. I currently have an anniversary certificate (good for up to 35k points). Do I lose the certificate or get an upgraded one (good for up to 50k points) if I upgrade the card?

No, and if this is a newly opened account closing within the first 12 months risks having the bonus retracted -and- risks being denied a bonus on future American Express application.

Any other data points like this ? Trying to go to Hawaii next month, I currently have 135k Bonvoy Points, and just opened the Brilliant card to get 75k more w/ a 3k minimum spend. I can easily put 3k on the card by the end of this month - any chance the points will post before mid-late July?

I had an SPG Amex personal card several years ago. Recently got a new Amex Bonvoy Business card, with a 75,000 bonus offer for $3K spend. I called to verify the spend deadline date, and she told me I will not get the bonus at all because I had this card before. I said I never had a Bonvoy card, plus I never had a business card. I see nothing in the Terms and Conditions that an old personal SPG card counts as this new Bonvoy card. She said they consider it "all the same."
Am I missing something? Can I HUCA and ask "where does it say Bonvoy and SPG cards are all the same?" Thanks for any tips.

AMEX Bonvoy Brilliant Card
Does any one know if the the Annual free award night for this card comes after the first year? Or do I get one every year, even during my first year.
Also is it confirmed that the $300 credit will be triggered on a room charge?

I moved your questions into the established thread discussion the Bonvoy cards issue by American Express.
