      What are the added 2020 benefits?

  1. Joel

    Dan – option is worth more: Amex Bonvoy 10 points per dollar on up to $7,500 of spending at US gas stations or CSR 5 points per dollar on $1,500 of gas spending? Thanks

  2. Ben

    Dan,
    Thank you for all your advice to those of us who follow you.
    Any advice on how to get the offer on the Delta Reserve for bonus spend miles and MQMs if it is not in My offers? I had my card prior to July 1 required date but offer not there and Amex Cust service says one has to be targeted,
    Thank you.

  3. Dan fan

    Is the amazon gc still working for the streaming credit?

  4. shlomo

    the mqm offer of up to 25000 is based on reaching spend of $25000 or $50000 on delta amex reserve

    • shlomo

      could not get straight answer from amex if you need to spend $25000 or $50000 to get full bonus…

  5. Bill

    On the CSP the gas charge has to post before 9/30?

    • Dan

      No, just needs to be charged by then. A charge by tomorrow morning should be fine.

  6. Kenneth Brown

    MQMs earned in 2020 will count to earn status in 2020 and will all rollover to count again to earn status in 2021 that will be valid through 1/31/23….this us what you have in this post…but do you mean it is valid through 1/31/2022…NOT 2023?

      • Kenneth Brown

        Could you please elaborate. If the status continues to 2021 then your status goes for one year and one month…which would be January 31 2022. Could you please explain how it will be held through 2023. Much appreciated.

        • Dan

          You can earn status again next year with the same MQMs. Status earned in 2021 expires 1/31/23.

      • Kenneth Brown

        say you are platinum in 2020…so they extend the status into 2021 which ends on january 31 2022. I can’t understand how you get an extra year out of that. Would very much appreciate if you would explain

  7. ben

    Dan,
    I have tried calling Amex without success, as the Delta MQM bonus is only showing up on my Delta Plat card, but not on my Delta Reserve. I meet the requirement of having the Reserve for years, but they say it is targeted. Any recommendation? Thank you.
    Ben
