Rocket miles discontinued the ability to earn points last year. Membership Rewards points no longer show as an option.

Hi Anthony. I assume you’re saying that you have met the initial spending requirement needed to earn the welcome bonus on the Amex Platinum card. First, to answer your question, securing a loan to pay off your credit card will not disqualify you for the welcome bonus if you completed the spending within the required period of time. However, carrying a balance from month to month as a result of spending on your card just to earn a sign up bonus is not a wise decision. Perhaps this doesn’t apply to you but I feel compelled to mention it in case others may attempt to do this. The interest you will incur could negate any value received from the welcome bonus. To gain the maximum value from a card, you should only spend what you can pay off each statement period.

Hi, I have had the Amex Platinum card for months and reached my promotional spending amount. If I consolidate with a loan, and pay that account down, does this disqualify me from that promotional offer?

I have the Amex Platinum business credit card, if I add authorized users for the FREE green card will they earn membership rewards through spending on the free card?
