Can you get approved for a New IHG card if you have the old one so you would have 2 separate cards?
If you upgrade or downgrade Amex, does your card number stay the same? I have most of my bills auto paid through Amex and changing numbers would be a pain – having to notify everyone.
I applied for the Amex gold card in 12/2018. What are the chances of receiving an Amex platinum upgrade offer in 12/2019?
Don't piss-off Amex.
I just downgraded to a AMEX Green card from a Gold card. Have you heard of any upgrade offers from Green to Gold?
I figure I will keep the Green for the next 6 months as my spending has changed, and I recently upgraded my CSP to CSR, because the benefits now outweighed waiting another 2 years for me. I will be going back to AMEX later on, and getting the sign up bonus for the Platinum and am hoping for an upgrade bonus back to Gold.
Does anyone know if the 80,000 bonus on southwest performance business card is ending soon? I’m planning to get it toward mid November so I can hit the minimum spend early January.
AskSebby pls help. I currently have the Delta Platinum which I regretted having as my first Amex. I am planning to downgrade to the no annual fee Delta card after first year.
I want to either get an Amex Gold or Plat now. I want to ask since I already have an Amex card. There is no reason to wait for the 100k target offer for the Amex Plat right? Since I feel like both Gold and Plat will benefit me, just don’t know which to apply next. Thinking applying for Gold and wait for upgrade offer.
Hey Sebby. I'm moving to Australia in a few days. Got any ideas what is a good credit card?
After I upgraded from Business Gold to Business Platinum, AMEX sent me a "congratulations" email saying that if I spent 10K in the first 5 months, that I would get 50K points. When I didn't get the points, I spoke with customer care on multiple instances and escalated it a few times, but they kept telling me that there was no such promotion for me.
I told them that I would be happy to forward or show them the email, but they said there was no way that I could email something to them.
It was a real let down…
What happened to the cash app card !!!! with lock / unlock issue !!!! could you please address that to us , really appreciate it !! you rock Sebby
Honestly one of my favorite videos from you so far! I’m nearing the end game so I’m looking to get into Amex soon.
A room full of sebbies and do not piss them off . All i got from this video 🤣😂🤣
Are you related to Dr Jason Fung?
Great video as always
Thanks for this video! I would never have come up with this strategy myself. Just to clarify: I have the Gold card, and plan to get the Platinum card eventually. Would I be likely to get an upgrade offer on my Gold even when I'm currently holding the Platinum?
👍👍👍
Does amex once in lifetime rule apply to business owners that own 2 or more business’s. I currently have the Amex delta gold under one business. Want to apply for another one under a different business.
Can I upgrade the IHG premium to get the points then downgrade it back to the old $49 AF version after a year?
Just got my IHG premier card today. Was very disappointed because its not longer a metal card. Called Chase and after getting transferred 3 different times. The final answer is IHG discontinued making the metal cards for new or existing customers…
How do u become a grandfather on a credit card? Specifically with AMEX?
Follow on question too. I upgrade my gold AMEX card, to the platinum card. However I never received any type of bonus? Or offer? Can I fight for it and get some points? Is it going be worth it?
When can you downgrade preferred to a everyday cash card in second year without being charged $95 annual fee?
Sebby, does Amex charge you one month of annual fee when you downgrade your Hilton surpass/aspire to the no annual fee version within a few days of annual fee posting?
I have AMEX upgrade offers but I don't see and bonus points attached ?
Yo soy amex >:v
Sebastian, how much time do you NEED to put between the 3 applications for the 3 Hilton cards? A day or two? A week or two?
