If I upgrade from Amex Gold to Amex Platinum, can I still get the 100k membership reward points if I’m upgrading rather than signing up for a new card?

Unfortunate, thanks for the response

There’s sometimes other sign up bonuses you can try and get by upgrading, i would chat them

Def no, but you’d get a different bonus usually. And you’d be eligible to get the platinum bonus at some point later

like

The language on Amex bonus offers is that you are not eligible if you've had that card before and (unstated but well known) their look back period is 7 years. Always open the card new to get the bonus before you do any upgrading

It depends on what you get as an upgrade offer, Amex will explicitly tell you the points and spend required

In the past I’ve wrongly thought that forgiveness brings restoration of relationships. But reconciliation requires everyone involved to respond -which is beyond our control. Forgiveness says I’m canceling that debt- it’s my marker & I’m tearing it up. I’m putting myself in Gods hands -Justice comes from Him. We mistakenly think that forgiveness is weakness as if we just capitulated. Forgiveness isn’t a sign of weakness- It takes strength to forgive. God tells us to forgive.

I’m seeing lots of posts about really bad losses. If you trade you’re going to lose money - hopefully not all the time, but many positions will be mistakes. But you need a process to find ideas and manage positions. Two books you should read are “The New Trading for a Livinng” and “The Laws of Trading.” Both look at psychology, process, and risk in different ways that can help you work out your own process. The next 18 months will be much harder than the last 18 - time to start learning.

If we're spending around $600 a year on gas and $2800 on purchases ($233 a month), that is around $148 in cash back. Minus the $120 membership fee is just $28. Which typing this post has made me realize probably not the smartest option with our current spend.
