Dan I have been to 3 CVS stores in Brooklyn, and I am told that they can only allow a maximum of $100 gift card purchases to be made on credit cards. Is there something i’m missing?

Does the Visa Green Dot Debit card (https://www.greendot.com/greendot) work the same way as the Vanilla reload card when it comes to getting a cash advance from brick and mortar banks like chase and citi?

Dan one thing I am still not clear about; if my goal is to book a flight from Newark to Israel using Amex points is it better to transfer AMEX points to ANA and use those miles to book a United flight or to transfer the Amex miles to Air Canada and then try and book a United flight. Since in both scenarios they are united flights so no fuel surcharges right?, so which is the better option? any advantages of one over the other? or is there a better option i am missing

@MAJ: Call back. A sole-proprietor uses his SSN as his Tax ID number, so as long as you applied as a sole-proprietor you are fine.

@Dan: applied (before dead line)was told that ssn is not valid for tax id, tried again and was told the same thing. what do i do?

@Josh: Lol, just a misunderstanding then. SW is an abbreviation for Southwest (Chase) Starwood can be abbreviated as SPG. You should call Recon now for the SPG cards.

@Mendy. The only thing that worked for me was to call. Got a pending review. Then approved a couple of hours later

@Josh:
“You can’t 3BM different banks.”

I apologize for the follow up but isn’t Starwood part of AMEX? I was referring to an earlier reply when someone asked what you recommend for additional cards to the AMEX Business Gold for the 3BM and the reponse was “Starwood consumer, Premier Gold Consumer, and Starwood business are all great cards that are free for a year”

I saw AMEX lists the Starwood when you click to view all cards. Am I missing something? Thanks for the timely response!

If you open more AMEX cards today though you shouldn’t get more hard pulls from AMEX.

@malky:
Search AA.com for sAAver availability. Then call BA to book if you can’t figure out the website.
