Hmm that has got me worried, I went to al ot of effort to open up a explorer hoping they will link my ascent to gateway. Hopefully they haven't caught wind of it and starting to clamp down on it :SThanks. One attempt late this week was met with a flat refusal to link my Gateway to Ascent (mine have always been separate, was never previously linked). Might try again next Sat evening, as I have now met my SPG points target and want to start to transfer back to Krisflyer down the track.

edit: just rang to move my credit over, and asked them about potentially opening a ascent premium account like plat charge and If I could merge the two programs - she put me on hold, came back and said no. American sounding CSR...doesn't look good!

Personally I think that response is not that important as what is important is what can happen rather than what is meant to happen.
By asking a hypothetical you are only likely to get the" they are separate reward programs answer" as that is probably what the rules say. Whereas the right CSR might see if they can link them and do so if physically possible. If they checked what the rules say it would probably be a no.
When I called up I just asked them to link, rather than if I could link it.
I applied yesterday but they havent called me yet.
This is gonna be my first cc ever (if i get it)

Apparently this isn't a good idea. I asked this about a month ago and was told by Cove, I believe, that doesn't like people doing this with their cards.So i got approved for the explorer except the credit limit is only 6k.
One of my expected monthly charges is about 15k per month...should I just preload the card first? Does amex allow this?

I had some payments declined/on hold because they suspected fraud or something along those lines. The bill was about 55k and I have a 15k limit so i had to split the bills to 14k payments. Paid the bill and transferred money straight away into the explorer card so I could do another payment the next day. I tried to put another payment the next day once i saw my payment went into the card. However my payment got denied. Thought the payment would need another day to change my available funds or something so waited another day. Tried the payment the next day and denied again so I called up Amex who then told me it was on hold. Got it all cleared up and working. Then it happened again on the 4th instalment.
Mine's currently linked to Ascent. I think I'm going to keep my explorer linked to ascent as I don't want to lose the 2ppd even though the 100k pts is very enticing, which was the whole reason of applying and the 1.5ppd. I think 2ppd is much better in the long run.
Oh so you can transfer credit limits between cards? might have to book my free flight then cancel my velocity.I managed to get them to increase limit from 6k to 16k, then I transferred my 6k limit velocity to the explorer, so its all good. I applied for a plat edge - but need to cancel my velocity first, and hopefully it comes linked to the (explorer) card!
