American Express Platinum (US) 100k Sign Up Offer
 

from flyertalk
here is the process

You need to do the CreditCards Card Match here: https://www.creditcards.com/cardmatch/

I put in all my information without my SSN. I had to do it in an incognito browser tab. Amex Platinum 100k Link showed up for me... Clicked "Apply Here" and it worked! I was approved for 100k MR after $3,000 Spending in 3 Mo's. I received a confirmation e-mail shortly thereafter with my approval information.

Also placed a phone call to American Express to confirm the sign up offer.

OFFER IS DEAD


***You can apply for Global Entry directly for $100 USD. No need to use third party provider(s) and have to pay them extra fees.
***Direct link = http://www.globalentry.gov/howtoapply.html

1/10/13 - Don't want to rain on any of the experts parade here but I have a relative who has a green card, she applied for the platinum and has called twice confirming eligibility for the 100k points and it was confirmed both times. They noted her account and provided a reference number.

For those who worry if they have the promotion loaded to their account, just send a secure msg online and they will reply to confirm on that.

Starwood Gold Status
Being Platinum means you can upgrade your status for free, just call the number on the back of your card and provide your SPG number, they will process the upgrade on the call. Enjoy~ info provided by fatwalletcat

DO NOT APPLY FOR BOTH CARDS - NOT ELIGIBLE FOR BONUS ON THE 2ND APPROVED CARD- This is not true,got bonus for both!
Contacted customer Rep , one will be eligible for both 100k and 50K bonus points by applying at same time , if does not own any gold /platinum card earlier:bounce:. Not necessarily.How many times have you been told bad info from a CS rep?
Confirmed BOTH BONUSES from Flyertalk:
http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/20...st805.html


Here's a summary of what is possible (from personal experience) and as someone who already has Business Gold Card:
Got the offer for both Plat and Gold
First applied for Plat, got instant approval
Then applied for Gold, got instant approval
Confirmed emails regarding both accounts
So in summary, $450 annual fee for both cards in 1st year, spend $4,000 in 4 months, and get 150,000 MR points (Clarification: this is extremely YMMV; there has been data indicating this will not work, while another person has had luck with this - from Flyertalk:
http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/20...st381.html).
Rumors are that if you apply for AMEX cards within a short period of time, it will not be considered as separate credit inquiries on your credit report.
==> Confirmed 1 credit pull on EX for both Plat and Gold applications done sequentially on same day. If any one company does more than one pull in a 30 day period you can call them to have all but one removed

I am editing this but not deleting out of respect for OP, this is NOT true Amex WILL NOT give you 2 promotions, I can verify this for a FACT. the terms below state it. Once you apply for one card/offer and get approved for the card offer you are considered to have that card and that disqualifies you from any other offers. EVEN IF YOU GET AN EMAIL that says you will get the points. As the terms are still the same regardless of the email. This is alot of money to risk hoping you are able to skate past the system and qualify for both *Updated statement regarding double promo; TY

Key Terms for Bonus Points:
"Welcome bonus offer not available to applicants who have had this product within the last 12 months or any Consumer ZYNC , Green or Gold Card account within the last 90 days."

As long as you do not have the cards listed above in the time frame mentioned, you should qualify (i.e. Delta Gold Skymiles does not exclude you from getting points).

If you get an error trying to complete the application, try again, as servers may be overloaded.

To be eligible to receive bonus points, you must be enrolled in the Membership Rewards® program at the time of spend.


Note: You have to enter your REAL name and billing address to get this offer. They are searching your credit history by your name and address. A social security number is NOT required to see the offer on the credidcards.com site.

Amex platinum card benefits [creditcardforum.com]

Please be aware of what kind of card this is. This is a CHARGE CARD not a CREDIT CARD it requires you to pay in full at the end of each billing cycle, you cant carry a balance over to the next month, or make a minimum payment initially. After you have had the card for quite awhile they might allow carrying of a balance but the interest is much higher than on a typical lending credit card.

Tips:) For $3000 spent in 3 months, use amazon checkout to transfer money to you account (limit $500 per month), then pay your card. Or just buy $3000 walmart gift card to use on groceries or visa cards.

One of the benefits is $200 in airline reimbursement per calander year. There should be just enough time to get $200 this year and another $200 early next year. Making the fee only $50 for the year.
The $200 per year is called “fee credit” not “fRee credit”!
Looks like you’ll only be able to use these credit on checked bags and inflight drinks!!!
Above regarding, $200 credit only applicable to incidentals is NOT TRUE. Several people report buying airline gift cards online and getting the credit back including myself! -npatel3c

LIST OF BEST WAYS TO UTILIZE THE 100K MR POINTS:

1. Airline tickets (Transfer points to mileage programs 100k points = 100k miles which can be used for $2k+ in ticket fees)

Attached screens found on the internet for those who need it. Thanks to fatwalletcat.

is it worth it with a 450 annual fee not waived?

Wish I actually traveled to justify the annual fee. Good deal.

$450 annual fee? Pass.

Got the same offer. Is working without SSN in the form.

"Currently, our systems are not responding. Please try again later or call/contact us as follows....."

if they were, this would be a big thumb up. But now it is a thumb down.

It has $450 Annual Fee
:-(

this is a HOT deal, 100k MR points are worth more than $1000!

Holy cow.. It shows $250 reward dollars for Blue Cash Preferred.. I just applied got approved for the same card with $150 from Amex site directly last week :(

This should be some hot deal for frequent fliers with club access and 100 k points. Is this site reliable OP? I am seeing some good offers and very tempting to apply for something...

More interestingly, I got an offer for 50K points after 1k spend with a PRG card and a waved first year fee! No SSN entered. IMO that's a great offer!

for those of you scared of the 450$..u can get a 200$ credit(in gift cards to airlines) on a yearly basis...be sure to read up about the card..many many blog post about it..

Can't get the offer. 1st year waived?

Sweet....

Amex never waives the fee for Platinum cards.

even with the 450 fee, the 100k points are worth at least $1,000 -- possibly much more if you transfer to partner airway reward programs. There are many other benefits to go along with the card, but even if you just want the bonus, it's worth paying $450 for one year then canceling. How many other sign up bonuses will net you $550?

Too bad United/Continental is no longer in the Membership Rewards Program.

This is a FANTASTIC offer. Usually, it is only 50k points at best!

Thanks. Got Approved.

benifits
 

what are the other main benefits besides 100k points?

I have had a Platinum card for a long time and there is no fee on mine.
Maybe because it is a business card:confused:

Flyertalk removed the original post. Any idea why?

interesting, pulled out a Amex Delta 45k offer

Kick ass, instant approval. Awesome deal.

Please look there http://exploreplatinum.americanexpress.com/

er... u sure it's a platinum not a premier?

It should be noted, that the thread on FT is closed due to moderator action not to say that this isn't an amazing deal. With the bonuses when transferred to partners. Just an FYI

I had my card for 5 months now and this is what I have used so far. Easily got $450/year back using these benefits.

-$200 Airline increment fee reimbursed.
-Unlimited airport lounge access on US Airways, Delta, AA with Platinum card.
-AMEX pays for Priority Select, which gives you access to over 500 lounges world wide, for main card holder and if you can get 3 extra cards for $175, and AMEX pays for those 3 as well.
-Book your hotel with Platinum card and it gives you early check in, late check out as late as 4 pm, usually free continental breakfast for 2.
-Free concierge service. I've used to locate iPhone 5 when it was so hard to find, and they called 30 places nearby my house and found one.
-90 days Purchase protection. Any purchase you made within 90 days can be reimbursed for any reason. Theft, damaged, defective, etc...

These are the main benefits I use it for. Absolutely worth $450 a year. If you get priority select, they give you 5 year membership, so even you cancel after the first year, you are left with extra 4 years of Priority Select.

Great Deal,

It says Platinum down the right hand side.
I probably got this on an SD a few years ago.

Great deal, 100k points is worth ~1250 via rewards2cash plus can buy $200 gift card for some airlines and get credit = $1450 bonus. any one know if fee is prorated if I cancel in 2-3 months after I get points? If so then fee would only be ~$100 for 3 months = over $1300 net

i love SD!!

damn OP! You made me apply for one more card when I decided not any more for one more year! thanks!

"Congratulations, your application is approved.

Welcome Benefits: 100,000 Membership rewards points after spending $3000 in 3 months! "

Crap I just saw:

Welcome bonus offer not available to applicants who have had this product within the last 12 months or any Consumer ZYNC®, Green or Gold Card account within the last 90 days

Are those points only redeemable for airline related fees (ticket, etc)?

does this include the gold premier card or is this just the regular gold?

Are you folks putting in your SSN on the opening page, or just name and address info? Is it safe to use SSN on this site?

For any amex cards, if you have had the same card within 12 months , you will not be getting the Signup bonus points. Amex has become very tough on that! Make sure you have'nt had the same product within 12 months before applying! (ie (if you had gold premier don't apply for gold premier again before 12 month, same applies to platinum also)

Have the same as yours, but it has nothing to do with this one. The biz one doesn't provide as much benefits as the true platinum card if you travel.

Tempting... Wish I traveled a bit more to justify it, as the travel benefits are PHENOMENAL...

people are nuts or naive to give such sites their SSN. Even if the site is legit today does not mean that they will not get hacked tomorrow or in 6 years.

Global Entry
Use your Card to apply and we’ll credit the application fee

I fly a few times a year, so not enough to be gold with Delta and get this covered, but having to deal with TSA is always the worst part of any trip.

No, and I don't know, but I don't trust non-financial institutions enough to do it (Amex already has my SSN through a Rewards card I have with them).

I got instant approval too. For Platinum, PRG, Delta Amex 45K and the Blue Cash Preferrred card. I don't travel much so wondering if the Platinum would be worthwhile. I can simply look at it like getting 100K bonus ~ $1000 - $450 Annual fee = $550 free. Put that way seems like a no-brainer.

Slickde@ler, did you give the initial site your SSN?

No I did not.

well it does for ameriprise customers I think

AMAZING deal. I got in on two different versions of this card in the last 2 years and only got 50k points. 100k points is easily worth $1k, and you get $200 back/year towards airline fees (you can usually get GC's to use on flights) + lounge access! So worth it! If you have any questions feel free to ask me or PM.

amex give $ 200 airline credit,people have been getting credit for GC purchases.

i got airline credit for 2 years
purchased 2 100 gc each year

my son got the same offer in the mail today. beats the op imho. too bad i already have it from the 2 year free deal a year and a half ago. so for one last acronym...i'm sol:D

dont put SSN on the creditcards.com page

No.

Just sent customer service a message if they can make the deal work for current customers.

I was stupid enough to give them my real address and SSN. wtf was I thinking? should I be panicking or what? :(

fark, me too.

Quick question, after you apply and are approved, where does it tell you that you get the 100K for spending $3,000?

For some reason my browser successfully submitted, but then errored up after submission, and in my e-mail acceptance I don't see anything about the 100K rewards.

Thanks for the help.

so how do you guys spend $3000 in 3 months ? charge gold coins or something ?

thanks

Got all the way through and got this.

Currently, our systems are not responding. Please try again later or call/contact us as follows:


To apply by phone or for product information -- 1-800-223-2670.

We apologize for the inconvenience and look forward to serving you.

I got over $400 last year and only had to spend a dollar.

this deal is not even close. sorry to rub it in

on the application page left hand side it clearly says 100k

I understand, but is there any way to check on it once you've been approved?

Sort of as a confirmation.

Thanks

wish I had 3000 to burn in 3 months...

I got both the 100K points after 3K spending in 3 months with a $450 annual fee offer, and the 50K points after 1K spending in 3 months with the first year waived. I'm thinking about splurging on a trip and getting the 100K one. That's basically $750 towards a flight.... Hmmm.....

Does anyone know if the 100k offer is churnable? Can I get the 100k, cancel the card and do it again in 1-2 years?

Is airline credit automatic, or you have to apply?

Wrong....

https://www.ameriprise.com/cash-c...xpress.asp

Great deal, I'm in. Repped.

Here is the screenshot of the approval page. Shows that I would get the 100K points and lists the annual fee..

How do I get $1000 out of the 100k points? By Redeeming giftcards?

I'm in.. great deal!!!!

looks like a good deal.. however, not sure about the creditcards.com
checked their privacy policy and under How We Use Your Information it says "Develop, enhance and market our products and services or the products and services of third parties;Provide you with promotional materials, offers and personalized information" ...so if we just give out home addresses we will start getting bombarded with mailers in a few months ??

I have an Amex Gold, can I upgrade this to the Platinum and get the 100k?

Hot deal if you like standing in lines and getting felt up by a TSA agent. Used to fly 3-4 times per year, haven't flown in years now and don't miss the cattle car experience.

anyone know which gift cards are 1.1 point conversion? was hoping that there would be a best buy or apple gift card...

FYI, the true value of this deal is 100K points + $400. Two calender years worth of $200 rebates on airline purchases (includes gift cards, for AA atleast).

So even if you value the 100K points low, thats still atleast $1000 back NET of the fee + global entry + airline lounge access! I got in on this a few years ago (received the offer from Amex) and today I'll sign up my finance as well I suppose.

I don't know if you can buy gift cards or not if you can I missed that one. one thing about this card if you book your flight using points they give you 20% of them back. which is nice.

you have to select a airline then its kind of automatic

How do the rebates work? You pay all up front and ask for a $200 reimbursement? And you're saying 1 per calendar year, implying that you can get 2 rebates off of 1 annual fee? Thanks in advance for any help :)

can we get GC for stores etc? or its only airline GC?

Welcome bonus offer not available to applicants who have had this product within the last 12 months or any Consumer ZYNC®, Green or Gold Card account within the last 90 days

I have American Express Gold Card, so I am not eligible?

Damn it. I have a Gold Card right now. Wish I cancel that earlier. In the T&C, it said the bonus is only for one that doesn't have other products within 90 days.

no rebates
just select airline and use it to pay luaggae fees,incidentals etc and amex will reimburse you as statement credit.

What I did was purchase two $100 gift cards for American Airlines. A few days later I received two $100 credits.

yes you can do it twice off of one annual fee, but keep in mind the next year of your annual fee you'll only get one $200 bonus (for 2015) since you already used 2013 and 2014.

That are only $1000 month :confused:

That's a different story with a 3rd party involved.

Errr...that's like 15 days for me :lol:

Thanks OP! I have 2 years old amex gold card, would that make me ineligible? :(

OK cool. Is there any real penalty for cancelling, besides the credit hit? I have no interest in the card, just the deal.

They ask which airline you fly primarily, then when you make the charges to that airline they automatically get credited back on your bill. Nothing else to do. I use Delta personally.

Your thumb is confused.

Cannot get through, now I get this

We apologize that the offer you are looking for may no longer be available.
Click here to learn more and apply for the current offer.

please dumb this down to someone that never flys but wants to.

if you apply both platinium and gold at the same time/same day, would it be considered only 1 hard pull?

american airlines gift cards would get 84 percent back when you trade them in for amazon gift cards...plastic jungle...this offer is just becoming hard to pass up...

Oops delete

maybe its gone

I decided to try. I have an AMEX Gold Business and hope it isn't considered a "consumer" gold card.

I got instant approval. Will cancel if I don't get the 100k credit.

I always avoided upgrading to Platinum but this deal seems legit.

True, but the post said that American Express never waives the fee for the platinum card. Just wanted to point out that there are ways to get it waived.

what of the ameriprise...have points in spades but could use the lounge access for a year...comments please thanks

Is the lounge access for cardholder only or can you bring a guest / discount for guest?

Don't expect getting 100K credit. :bounce:

Not quite the exclusivity it had when it was by invitation only, ugh!

you can bring a guest

Anyone else getting the American Express® Premier Rewards Gold Card offer to work ?

Okay I been approved. No shopping until I get this card so I can start stacking my 3k...... what to buy.....

what kind of credit score do I need to get approved for this card?

What is a better deal? Plat or gold? It seems like gold is a better deal?...... Can you sign up for both?

I'm in the same boat, and I just called Amex. The CS told me that I need to call back in 72 hours (when the decision about the bonus will be made), but he said that Business cards are different from Personal cards, and that I should qualify.

is that $1000 worth of giftcards/cash? or are you talking $1000 in credit on airtravel??

I'm in the same boat, but I don't see why not. One is a business card, not a consumer card that is mentioned in the restrictions.

Hmm... kinda makes me wish I hadn't just picked up a Southwest card...

Just buy $3000 worth of Amex Gift Card.

So can I purchase the $200 gift cards for a designate airlines and then use those to purchase new flights.

What about the business and first class international companion flights? Worth it .... usually I just get coach international tickets.

We apologize that the offer you are looking for may no longer be available.
Click here to learn more and apply for the current offer.

its a bit confusing, I have the gold card (from the 75k offer a while back), does this mean I can't get this?

it has to be full-fare tickets...usually it is cheaper to buy 2 discounted business or first tickets.

just checked their rewards website...100k points can buy 500 dollars in amex gift card. considering the 450 in annual fee, you are making only 50 dollars. I guess may be its not meant for those looking to buy gift cards. even "amazon pay with points" is like $25 for 4k points.

I got the gold one offer with 50000 points and no 1st year fee offer that I took advantage of. Look for it your mails. They up the offer if you don't take 25000 offer.

Correct you wont qualify for the 100k bonus points if you have a gold card currently

yes.. me and my wife got too.. i actually applied for this and got approved, coz it has a lower spend limit.. and no annual fee etc.. so you make almost same amount (not considering the airline GC, thts not of much use for us anyway)

Exactly! $450 for enough miles to get 5 R/T tickets to Hawaii is not a bad deal!

Will pass on this though but happy to see it back up at 100,000!

You must have a platinum Lending Credit Card not a Platinum Charge Card.. they are vastly different in the benefits and terms of the account

When did you get it, I keep getting an error ?

I got approved and confirmed the reward with a CSR at AMEX. This is perfect because my job reimburses the annual fee for this card too. Excited to have access to all of the lounges now.

For those simply looking to cash out the 100K points, there are often gift card sales that make the deals even better.

Last year I turned 50K points into $1000 of The Cheesecake Factory gift cards and sold those to Cardpool.com for 80 cents on the dollar ($800).

Anyone know s I can dd a pouse on the card or is it lke the Black card where each person has to pay?

Can somebody tell me which credit bureau they pull?

I have all 3 frozen at the moment and need to unfreeze the credit bureau which they pull....

Please help ASAP.

I want to jump on this offer.

Rewards2cash.com would give you $1250 for the points, assuming they're still offering that when you go to cash in.

Yes each additional card for a spouse etc has an additional annual fee

you have to pay 175

These points are worth about $1275 to a broker. Let me know if you need a name. Or even better if you want to use it for flights. But cashing out to a broker is better than gift cards.

I have platinum card and I just applied platinum card again. They instant approve my card. What will happen again?

What airline?

If you have any Amex Charge Card (green, gold, platinum, sync) (not credit card) you will not get the bonus points but they will give you the card

How much does this 100K points worth? Can someone give a simple answer? Thanks!

*****two offers I got, many others but these were the two top, I'd almost say the gold ones the better of the 2*****

So if you have gold card, you can't apply for platinum either?

http://www.membershiprewards.com/...%20100,000 go the amex rewards site it shows you everything

^agree. If I travel overseas more often, definitely, I'll get this card.

I've have an Amex Platinum Charge Card for seven years and have never paid a yearly fee on it.

I wonder. Can you apply for both the Gold and Platinum?

at least $500, it could be $700.

You can apply and it will likely approve you... but you won't get the the bonus points

LOL I just signed up for a credit card and I don't know why :(

How????

Anyone have the Mercedes platinum card able to apply for this one?

Now none of us will qualify for mortgage or car loans... but we have our points to hold on to :)

How sure are you? I have platinum card and their gave me $400 credit for my card. It will be nicer if I can get this bonus points as well.

Thats unheard of. Ive been employed with them for years and waiving the fee rarely ever ever happens maybe 1 in 500,000 people are able to complain their way into getting the fee waived maybe 1 in a million can get it done more than 1x

Hmmm......

Someone with more experience can back me up/correct me on this one, but I'm pretty sure AMEX generally pulls Experian. I've heard of them doing Equifax as well but for both of my cards they pulled Experian.

Im 110% positive it also says it in the terms of the offer someone posted it earlier

Okay, maybe I just wait. it's not like they are going to send me a new card, isn't it?

What can you spend the 1k in points on? Like what airlnes or how much in tickets? I want to make sure I can get what I want before I spend $450 in fees for a year!!

go to the rewards site for amex www.membershiprewards.com

airline tickets...you can easily get some nice international flights

approved for 100,000

Amex almost always pulls Experian.

in for 1000, flippin on ebay.

jokes. i havent done that since 2004. but did get a card approved, been thinking about adding a personal (non-corporate) Amex card to my arsenal. This should do nicely, despite the $450 annual cost.

Thanks so much

That's the only decent program left for international travel.

he's probably has the "Amex Simplycash" charge card which has platinum written on it and is also silver in color just like this card... confused the hell out of people when I used to tell them I'd a fee free amex platinum charge card until one day somebody pointed out ;)

Nice. Thanks!

+1 United miles are the only worthwhile miles these days..... their programs is 10 times better than any other domestic airline

Yep you wouldnt be the first or last who was confused by that

British Airways then redeem on American. They're distance based so from the West Coast it's 5 but East Coast would be fewer.

They have also had 40% and 50% conversion bonuses as well :woot:

It is worthed every peny if you spend alot, travel alot, and want great customer service.

Thanks OP, got approved!

pls help! I have american express gold card does that mean I cannot apply for platinum card

You can apply for it, you just won't get the points :D

I might be all over this if I was not planning to close on a house within the next 8 weeks. I have a Premier Gold Rewards card and like the double point for gas and groceries, but this might spur a reason to have some fun and travel again. Thanks anyway OP!

I can't think of anything I need in the next 3 months that I can spend $3k any ideas?

How is this possible? I've never heard of it being waived

Business v.Consumer
 

I have the Platinum Corporate Card. The terms stated the bonus is not available to those who have had this product in the last 12 months. This is for the consumer platinum card which is a different product, no?

amazon payments or bluebird are good alternatives

I'm going from Blue to this card, Will I still get the points?

oh gosh, just did an apporama, but nothing with am ex. Despite being approved for 7 cards last week, got approved! Oh man oh man...I gots to spend a lot of money in the next 4 months!

Right corporate cards don't disqualify you from the personal card offers

Will having a corporate card invalidate me for the 100k points on this?

edit: haha, someone answered this very question in the post immediately above mine once the page updated.

was approved...god damn...now to figure out how to spend 3k in 3 months

Am I the only one who can't bring up the amex platinum offer when I load in my info on the creditcards.com site? My credit score is high but it won't bring up any matching credit cards????

What am I missing?

It's not waived. he's probably like me, I am getting $400 credit from them. That's close to free, i guess.

Either he's not the primary on the card and has no idea a fee is actually paid, either he doesn't have this card but a dif one that looks similar or..... whatever this card doesn't come with no annual fee no mater what you try

Yes as long ad you haven't had the green, gold, platinum, or zync in the last 12 months. These cards are different than the blue, they are pay in full at the end of each billing cycle cards, you cant carry a balance. After you have had the card for awhile they might allow carrying of a balance but the interest is much higher then on a blue card

blue is not a charge card. so yes.

This is how much I spend every 2 months on food

Thanks OP..got approved..now to find deals on SD to spend $3000...geez darn u SD...burning my pocket!!! LOL

Im sure he is mistaken. These fees dont get waived. Amex has other cards labeld as "platinum" but they are much different than this card.

lmao i cant believe i signed up for this

slickdeals dont let me down!

$500 shot in the dark..

What if its a business gold card not a personal one?

you must be eating a lot of food or probably eating in very classy restaurants

it just probably that the card issuer is not willing to offer you the deal at ths point of time.. that may happen..

I couldn't bring up the offer even though my credit is great because all 3 credit bureaus were frozen.

I unfroze each bureau and tried again each time. It wasn't until I unfroze transunion that I would see the offer.

Therefore creditcards.com uses transunion for it credit search...

What the hell are you doing with 7 cards? I never had more than three my entire life, 1 Amex, 1 Mastercard and 1 Visa.

Haha can you imagine how many signup bonuses you've missed out on?

3 months of cable, electric, cell phone, insurance, etc and I'm halfway there....

Just got approved for me and my wife (additional $175 fee for her).

$1000 minimum giftcards, air travel will be worth much more than 1000 if you transfer to partner airlines and do it right. See here: http://boardingarea.com/blogs/one...australia/

I am not sure, but my guess is no. If it's using your ssn, then no bonus points.

I just edited the Wiki. Im not sure if everyone applying realizes what kind of card this is. I hope everyone that applied does realize it they are pay in full at the end of each billing cycle cards, you cant carry a balance. After you have had the card for awhile they might allow carrying of a balance but the interest is much higher than typical

So this is a charge card (pay full every month) and not truly a credit card??

It's called maximizing points/miles which equates to $$ :D
