Just got approved. I don't have any platinum card. How do I transfer the 100K points from this gold card to schwab brokerage?

yep, showing 90k now when "Click here to learn more and apply for the current offer." under 'no longer be available." when you click OP's link. Still not bad imo, but yes, even I'm a bit late to the party ....

GrubHub is like UberEATS, doordash - you can order from almost any restaurant. Someone correct me if I am wrong
Thanks, would it make sense to purchase monthly Grubhub and UberEats gift cards at $10 iterations through their app until there is an accumulated amount worth a good meal purchase?

Amex points aren't "on" any specific MR card so nothing to transfer-- you have a single MR account that all your MR cards feed into and as long as you have at least 1 MR earning card those points stay alive.

To get the higher cashout rate of the schwab plat card you just need to open (or already have open) that card.

deal is dead, HOWEVER, I just saw that I have a referral offer - I get 30k points, and the person who signs up gets 90k points.

I referred my wife so as a household this is actually better than the 100k offer I was about to have her sign up for.

so transfer too shwab brokerage will require me to sign up also for their platinum schwab card or any swab card? https://www.schwab.com/credit-cards they have another one without fee, but I am not sure if that would work. Freaking platinum card is $695 fees so unless I am missing something, that seems like a no-go for me.

I really think transferring to schwab is not makign most use of your points. In fact it is quite poor. if you are in this game, the goal will be to maximize the value of your MR and certainly schwab is not the way to do it. Others in this post have already indicated how to get most bang for your buck

You need the platinum schwab card.

It's $695, but there's a 100,000 MR signup bonus plus like $1000 in various other credits that you'd get, so not sure why it'd be a no-go.... (plus potentially another $100-$200 a year credit based on the amount of holdings you have at schwab)

Mind you this primarily makes sense for people who simply do not travel significantly-- in which case they can cash out all their Amex points at 1.1 cents per point-- instead of the routinely higher value you can get using them for travel.


For those folks- what makes the most sense is run through all the Amex MR signups you can across all the various MR cards... and THEN do the platinum Schwab to cash it all out.
