Strategy to obtain US Amex

[blacksultan]

Anyone else have a Barclays AAviator that will transfer to Citi next month? I already have the Citi AA card and don't need 2 of them, plus I plan to go for Citi Strata later this year so I cancelled Barclays AAviator and transferred credit line to my Hawaiian card.

Yes I'm wondering what to do about that card as well.

If you don't already have a Citi AA card, you should apply for one before Barclays transfers over. Most people think the transferred card will prevent you getting a new SUB for Citi AA card. The jury is out on if the transferred card affects 5/24. Probably not but I didn't want to take the chance.

Sad to see it go. it was churnable every 2 years for a solid chunk of AA miles.

There is a good analysis on whether (pro vs con vs benefit v.v.v) to move over from Barclay to Citi or Cancelled on Frequent miller. I found it interesting for whoever have the cards to move but I dont have that card.

Has anyone got any data points on how long the transfer is taking from Amex au membership rewards points to your Amex USA mr account? I did mine via chat 7 days ago. I see they deducted my points from my au Amex, but they haven’t appeared yet on my Amex USA account. Rather hair raising wait here… also do they advise you by email when the points land in your Amex USA account? TIA

It's been pretty slow for me too. I initiated the transfer about 3 wks ago. The points disappeared from my AU account after a wk, it's been 2 wks since and still haven't shown up in my US Amex account.

Normally, it takes 1-2 wks, sometimes the pts even appear in the US account a few days before leaving the AU one. So this time it's definitely different.
