1.<\/strong> American Express\u2019s 10 charge card limit<\/a> and 5 credit card limit<\/a> both seem to have changed. Justin O shared that he was approved for a 6th charge card late Tuesday night, and after his data-point many<\/a> others<\/a> followed<\/a> confirming that the limits aren\u2019t currently being enforced or have changed. I lobbed in an application for the Blue Business Plus credit card using a referral link from P2\u2019s account and was instantly approved which puts me at 11 charge cards and 6 credit cards.<\/p>\n

Maybe American Express was trying to copy Chase\u2019s loosening of its 5\/24<\/a> rules? Either way I\u2019m happy.<\/p>\n

2.<\/strong> PenFed is sending holiday spending bonus offers via email. My offer was for $50 back on $500 spend on my PenFed card. Other offers include<\/a> $15 back on three contactless purchases, a $15 streaming credit, and $20 back on $20 or more in wireless spend.<\/p>\n

3.<\/strong> Hertz is letting current President\u2019s Circle members gift President\u2019s Circle status to anyone else before December 15, with the status valid through June 30, 2022. You can gift status at this link<\/a>.<\/p>\n

4.<\/strong> American Express has new transfer bonuses for December<\/a>:<\/p>\n
