Popup jail only for CS Platinum, not Vanilla Platinum?
I’m curious: has anyone else found themselves in popup jail only for the Charles Schwab Platinum, but not for the vanilla/original Platinum? If so, how long did it take you to get out?
Yesterday I applied for vanilla Platinum to check the bonus offer. I was approved but SUB offer was only 50k MR, so I withdrew the application and figured I’d get the CS Platinum instead for the current 150k offer. I applied today for the CS Platinum and was approved but got the dreaded PUJ notice. Same result when I called and applied over the phone; rep said he was at a loss as to why I was getting this despite being offered SUB yesterday for vanilla. Until today I’d never applied for the CS Platinum, nor had I gotten a PUJ notice. I have applied for the vanilla plat a bunch of times (mostly last November/December—not in the past few months) and always been approved but I’ve always withdrawn because my SUB offers were 80k or sometimes even less. Saw a targeted offer for 150k in my Amex account a few months ago but didn’t go for it at the time and now kinda wish I had.
For context, I am 0/6, 1/12, and 4/24 for new accounts. Newest is an Amex Gold which I use pretty frequently (a few hundred dollars per month). Also have the Delta Blue to which I downgraded from Delta Gold after first year; I hardly ever spend on it and am wondering if that might explain my PUJ sentence even though I’ve consistently spent on the Gold even after earning the SUB for that one (100k). 11 open accounts, 800+, mid-100s income.
