I hope you\u2019re able to rest for the deluge of batches of 99 American Express employee<\/a> cards headed your way. I know I\u2019ll be ramping up the spend on my prior batch of 99 cards to try and finish them off before the next batch arrives in the mail in a week or so. <\/p>\n

There are a few noteworthy items before you jump:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Parts_Unknown<\/a> put together a nice list of no-lifetime language (NLL) American Express cards including a new offer for the Blue Business Plus. They\u2019re currently all at relative highs:\n

    \u2013 Blue Business Plus<\/a>: 30,000 Membership Rewards for $5,000 spend plus another 10,000 for $1,000 spend on an employee card
    \u2013     Business Gold<\/a>: 90,000 Membership Rewards for $10,000 spend plus another 10,000 for $1,000 spend on an employee card
    \u2013     Business Platinum<\/a>: 150,000 Membership Rewards for $15,000 spend plus another 10,000 for $1,000 spend on an employee card<\/p>\n

    To answer a question you didn\u2019t ask: As long as you can meet the spend, the best time to apply for a no-lifetime language American Express Business card is when you still have fewer than 10 AmEx charge cards or fewer than 5 AmEx credit cards. There almost certainly won\u2019t be a pull on your credit report as long as you\u2019ve already got an AmEx, and it won\u2019t show up on your report when you\u2019re approved either. (Note that those limits are 11 and 6, respectively for some people. What makes them special? \ud83e\udd37\u200d\u2640\ufe0f)<\/li>\n

  2. Do this now: Register for a bonus 5,000 points per stay<\/a> at Raddison Hotels Americas.<\/li>\n
  3. The Chase Sapphire Preferred is one of the most overrated credit cards<\/a> in the churning space in my opinion. That said, it is a good beginner card and it may be worth churning in other certain, limited scenarios. In case you find yourself looking for one, note that the public sign-up bonus has increased to 80,000 Ultimate Rewards<\/a>. The 80,000 bonus is also showing via referral links and the referrer gets 15,000 Ultimate Rewards on successful application. Hello P2!<\/li>\n
  4. If you work for a big company you may be eligible for a Hyatt Globalist status challenge with a reduced 20 nights in 90 day requirement, just enter your email address and see if you\u2019re eligible<\/a>. Status lasts through February 2024. (Thanks to Kyle)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Have a nice weekend!<\/p>\n
