I have a good friend who applied and was approved 4 days ago for his wife the Plus and Premier. Based on @Friendlyadvice2 saying 1/12/18 is the date to meet the min spend by as of today (9/20), it would seem my friend has the chance to drag out his spending and also get CP for 2018 and 2019. Does that sound correct? I told him to send a SM and ask but he is a total newbie to all this so I am trying to help.
You are correct, see my post above; your friend should be in great shape to get the CP. He should absolutely wait to hit the MSR until early January so they can get the CP for '18/19.
This 60K offer has really changed the game this time. In the past, we'd all be trying to apply around Nov/Dec and have about a month to hit the MSR so we'd get the CP in early Jan, but with this offer expiring soon, we have to change our mindset to really push the limits of the MSR date to hit it closer to the end rather than the beginning. I'm definitely not complaining with as many times as I've churned these cards, this will definitely be the easiest time I've ever had obtaining the CP.....it's just a slightly different strategy this time!
