14 nights away from Marriott Platinum status. Going to be traveling at least the first 7 months of next year. Is it worth getting the AMEX Marriott Bonvoy Business card ($125) to hit elite nights for Platinum status before Dec 31?

According to the Amex terms, the elite nights are awarded within 60 days, so they may not hit thus year

Yeah, I’ve read a few data points of users getting them within a few days. I’d likely take the chance. Regardless, it’d help me hit Plat earlier next year

Not a terrible idea, and you get the welcome bonus eventually. My nights came quickly (within a week or so)

Luggage delay claim question

I used Chase explorer to buy tickets for my vacation and luggages were delayed for a month. Per chase term I am entitled $100 a day for 3 days. But the claim agency chase used has been asking for airlines response, which has not came (2month+ now). I am concerned insurance will use this as an excuse to never compensate. Is there a good way to handle this situation?
TIA
