AMEX Business Card 50K miles for $5K spending in 4 months NO FEE 1st YR TODAY ONLY

I have applied AMEX SPG and Premier Rewards Gold Card. Am I eligible for this bonus?

No card that has an annual fee is worth it.

Can anybody else comment on this? I'd like to hear a few more opinions before I give it a try.

Serve (paypal clone) can be funded with credit cards, fee free until june 1st 2012. So fund Serve acct with amex, and withdraw funds to your bank acct to pay off amex.

max $1000 a day, $2500 a month. ironically Serve is from american express inc.

That was old wisdom -- I remember when my parents thought that way. It doesn't take a mathematician to run the numbers and figure out how much you spend and whether or not you'll earn a benefit that exceeds the annual fee by enough to make it worth it for you.

Look at it this way -- you probably put money into a savings account at an earning below 1% interest. If you could take $200 of that an put it into a separate account and get $600 at the end of the year, you're telling me you wouldn't do that? Some of us earn well more than $600 on that $200 investment.

Believe me, I understand that you can get a card with no annual fee. And if you don't use your card much, an annual fee is a horrible idea. But plenty of us do use the cards plenty to make it worthwhile.

I used my Sapphire card to buy a 3000 dollar AMEX Gift card to get my 50k UR points. The 3k card total cost me 6.95 to activate and ship, and i earned 30 bucks back from FW for the purchase.

how about Costco cash card is it eligible? p.s. last year i bought gps from costco and paid by credit card but when i returned it they gave me cash.

I had this card five years ago, am I eligible now? Also the business/home address does not have enough space for me to fill in. Anybody has this issue?

2 To be eligible to receive the bonus points, you must (1) apply for the new Business Gold Rewards Card from American Express OPEN using Bonus ID A2L8 prior to termination of this offer, but in no event later than April 26, 2012, and (2) charge $5,000 of eligible purchases on the Business Gold Rewards Card in the first 120 days of Card membership. The bonus points will be credited to your Membership Rewards® account 6-8 weeks after you have met the purchase requirement. Offer limited to 50,000 bonus points per Card account. Existing American Express OPEN Gold Card members are not eligible for this offer. This is a limited time offer, which may be terminated by American Express at any time. Offer may not be combined with any other promotional offers. Membership Rewards program terms and conditions apply.

Any suggestions on how to spend the $5K without really spending it? I know a few years ago there was the deal with the US Mint where you could buy coins at face value and turn them back in at your bank, but I don't see that available now.
