So has your DD tried to open? If she has any AmEx CC I'm pretty sure she's eligible, I don't see where it has to be a MR card? It's open to consumer or business cards.Yes, she has gotten several pop ups before. She only has one card, the Delta Blue. She has never closed it, spends a little bit on it each month.
The reason she would get one without a bonus, is for the 60000 MR from the business checking. Her only option for Delta miles is a Delta card or an MR card/account. She has gotten the Delta pop up a couple of times already. I did tell her she could try that first, and it doesn't work then go with the other.
But 60k MR's with no spend, just a bank account is a pretty great deal. I don't know for sure that she would get a popup on an MR card, I just wanted to make sure she could still get the card, if she can't get either without a pop up. The BBP isn't a huge bonus anyway, to miss out on, especially for the required $3k spend.
We are currently accepting applications from American Express® Basic Card Members with a U.S. Consumer or Business Credit Card issued by American Express National Bank. American Express Rewards Checking customers are not eligible at this time.
From this bit it just needs to be her card, not like a AU or something. But maybe I missed a bit in your posts, apologies I'm actually traveling right now and mostly skimming.
Yes, debit card transactions are not part of the qualifying transactions. Most people transfer out/in from any bank account. Just check the tracker if you're not sure if it's a ACH or RTP transaction. I don't know how picky they are on the different transfer networks. But trial deposits have been counting on the tracker, so there doesn't appear to be a minimum amount.Under the 10 Qualifying transactions it say:
Mobile Deposits
Electronic/Online Transactions including ACH, Wire and Bill Payments made to or from your account.
Business Debit Card Transactions using our Redeem Membership Rewards Points for Deposits are not Qualifying Transactions.
Hmmm.. Now I am confused. Glad I asked. I may end up doing the same and transferring $ over from my Associated Bank account .
Yep! That's how most DPs I've seen do it. I did the same but I did mine a year ago when it first launched and was part of the group that was automatically awarded the bonus. So they cut my tracker off early. Before that though, all my transfers and bill pays counted.I am considering the AMEX 60,000 Bank Biz Promo also but I am not sure what qualifies for the 10 Qualifying transactions. If I am understanding correctly I can just transfer additional money from another bank account or pay any type of bill from the AMEX account? Thank you.
