Yes, this perk is gone. Only reason I got the business card last year - to assure access when I might not have status. Platinum right now, Gold for next year but the year isn't over for platinum. A...

You could open a free Hilton Amex (probably some bonus out there) and transfer your available credit over (except for $500) and then you don't lose your available credit.

Success

New business card

I've had a personal card since 1999 and just got the business card for a 25K promo (spending $5K in 3 months) and first year fee waived. (Main reason was the guaranteed access to the club lounge...

In the past I have achieved GOLD through the $30K spend. This is less possible with Costco giving up AMEX. Since I get 2 stays and 5 night credit from the credit card, and award stays count I am...

I had had another $40 charge and 40 points showed up a couple of days later. So you could try totaling charges per day and see if it adds up. Not all small businesses are necessarily part of the...

$50,000 in any form - checking, saving, retirement accounts, I think that credit lines might also count. All my credit cards were grandfathered in for the fee being waived.

No longer true

This was titled - this deal is dead. Back in 2009. Why would you quote it and post it?
This is such outdated news. AMEX stopped considering this a purchase for the sake of getting points years ago....

clarification

I called AA and was told that the card did not need to be used to pay taxes in order to get 10% rebate. Called the credit card and the first rep said you did - it seemed logical to her. I asked for a...
