Tips
3/12 Rule: Difficult to get approved if you’ve opened 3 or more cards with any bank in past 12 months (7 cards in 12 months for those with deposit accounts) To get same card again, some cards require waiting 24 months from opening. Others require waiting 24 months from closing. Consumer card applications: Limit 2 per rolling 2 months, 3 per rolling 12 months, and 4 per rolling 24 months. Hard inquiries are usually combined into 1 when initiated within 30 days but there have been reports of TransUnion not combining. YMMV. BOA may enforce a 5 personal card limit

150K Miles ⓘ Affiliate
Earn a one-time bonus of 150K miles after $30K spend in the first 3 months
$395 Annual Fee
Recent better offer: Expired 3/31/23: 250K Miles after $50K in spend.
FM Mini Review: Similar to the Venture X consumer card, the business version offers annual rebates that easily mitigate the fee for those who travel often and could be worth it for the lounge access and travel protections given the cost/benefit ratio. Unlike the Venture X, free authorized users do not get Priority Pass access. The card earns 2 "miles" per dollar on most purchases just like the Capital One Venture X Rewards card, which are worth exactly 1 cent each toward travel. This makes the return on most spend similar to a 2% cash back card (though in this case you must redeem your miles to offset travel in order to get 1 cent per mile). One big advantage over cash back: Capital One allows transfering their "miles" to airline miles & hotel points. Click here for our complete card review

FM Mini Review: If you were already interested in a LifeMiles+ subscription, this card might be appealing since it only costs $9 more than the cost of 12 months of the "Lite" subscription (or you can enjoy the same annual $240 in value toward higher subscription levels with a $20 monthly discount). It could be worth getting the card for the Silver Elite benefits if you would have considered buying a LifeMiles+ subscription anyway. However, for ongoing spend, it is less compelling given the fact that many transferable currency cards offer superior return on spend.

FM Mini Review: While the headline is 3% back for a year, the bonus itself is an extra 1.5% back on up to $20K in purchases for the first year.

If your application is denied, it is often worth calling the bank to talk to an analyst. They may be able to approve you on the spot after asking a few questions.

capital hotel airline card send it please…

Chaser123!

I am thinking of getting the Hawaiin card to get more Alaska miles. I see the best offer which is not tan affiliate link. Do you have a page of affiliate links. If the only difference is the spend requirement, I would use your link. Hawaii home page offers same bonus but with 2k spend.

Greg The Frequent Miler

That’s very nice of you! Unfortunately, no we don’t have any affiliate links for those cards.

Jeff

Just got 250K on the Business Platinum using the FM strategy, 15K spend in 3 months.

I think the Cathay card is missing in this list, potentially a couple of others

DonT

Does being an AMEX AU count towards the 5 card AMEX limit?

Greg The Frequent Miler

No

Dmitrii

got 200k offer for a biz plat (not checking bundle) for 15k spend which is highest I ever seen people mentioned

Steve

The MGM card is not mentioned on the list?

DonT

Are there any DPs where AMEX did not have the pop warning that one was not eligible for a SUB, but later clawed them back anyway because the applicant had received a SUB with that card in the past?

Tim Steinke

Not that we’ve heard.

Thomas

If I have an Amex Personal Gold Card Referral for 90K with 6k spend in 6 months is that a link you would want to post?

Stephen Pepper

Is it one where the 90k offer only shows up in incognito mode? If not, and if it shows up in every browser however it’s viewed, please could you email your link to mailbag.com and we’ll check it out.

DonT

Fidelity no longer charges FTX.

Nick Reyes

Thanks, updated!

Zen

I don’t have Facebook. Could somebody please send me a link for the 150k Amex Platinum card offer? Thanks

Greg The Frequent Miler

You don’t need Facebook to use the 150K link that we host on our site. You’ll find the link here: https://frequentmiler.com/amxplat/

The need for Facebook is if you are lucky enough to have your own referral bonus offer that lets you refer others to the 150K offer so that you can earn your own 30K referral bonus.

Zen

When I click that link it says –
Sorry, this link is not working or has expired. If you’d like to apply with your friend’s referral, you can ask them to send you a new referral link.

Greg The Frequent Miler

Can you try again from another browser instance? I think I’ve fixed it but I’m not certain (e.g. go to private/incognito mode on your browser and then find the link here: )https://frequentmiler.com/amxplat/

Zen

It worked this time. Thank you!

I wonder if anyone else experienced a rejection from Chase for the Business Cash card with the following similar circumstances. I have a credit score above 800, 3 other Chase cards, very little usage of the available credit line, no credit card applications in the last 3 years, and a healthy income. After applying in October and no response for 3 weeks, I called Chase, was redirected to a foreign call center, and a rep told me my application was rejected and a letter would be sent detailing the reason for the rejection. Upon receipt of the letter, I would then be able to call the Reconsideration line. The letter never came, and subsequently I was told by Chase Reconsideration was not open to me because it was past the 30 day requirement to have my application reconsidered. A doom loop. My only alternative was to refile a new application. And I still don’t have a letter indicating why my application was rejected. I can only speculate to the reasons, one of which is my age, 70. Also, my wife was rejected for the same card.

Any comments would be appreciated. Thank you.

Dan

Hi FM Team, thank you for putting together a great resource. Just a friendly heads up that some of the information for the Affinity Cash Rewards Visa Signature credit card might need to be updated. I was looking at cards that would provide bigger cash bonuses for buying club MSing. The link you provide to join the Affinity credit union is broken (404). It looks like the card only provides $150 sign up bonus now. And the Amazon 5 percent cash back is limited to $1,000 in purchases per month. Also, I wasn’t able to determine if the CU is still offering rotating bonus categories for the card. It’s not mentioned on the card’s info page. Thanks!

Tim Steinke

Thanks! Fixed.

bullmeister

The Citi Shop Your Way app link goes to a 404 page.

I just checked it and it worked fine for me. What browser are you on?
