Hi Claire,

It is possible that the security agents might be hesitant to let you in without an international boarding pass, but if you inform them that you are escorting your son to his gate they should permit you to go with him.

Comment on The Chase 5/24 Rule – Which Cards Are Impacted? Are There Exceptions? by Jarrod West https://upgradedpoints.com/credit-cards/chase-5-24-rule/#comment-34896 Mon, 20 Feb 2023 16:31:12 +0000 https://upgradedpoints.com/?p=5461#comment-34896 In reply to vnr111.

Hi VNR,

Yes, you can have multiple ink cards for each of your LLCs since they are separate businesses. The only limit is that you cannot receive the welcome bonus on a specific Ink card if you already have it opened under the same LLC. For example, if LLC #1 has an Ink Business Unlimited card, you receive the welcome bonus for the second Ink Business Unlimited card under that LLC without closing the first card.

I believe as of Feb 2023 you are the only one that can access Amex Centurion Lounge, same as the delta Sky club. On you report said that you might be able to bring 2. Also want to know if the additional card fee still $350 for each individual member? I read on someplace that the Amex Platinum (Personal) is 175 for an up to 3 cards

Hey Nicolas,

When you are making your reservation on partner airlines, there should be a section at checkout that allows you to add your AA frequent flyer number. If not, you can reach out to Iberia or JetBlue after you book and they can add it manually. Your status will get you access to free checked bags and better seats!
