I’ve been searching the Internet for a credit offer to quench my churn thirst. I tried with the Citi AA Business. I was rejected (see About That Citi AA Business Application…). I am still in labor with the Barclays card (see Barclays JetBlue App: Please FAX Your Business Lease). Then I saw Lucky peddling a card called Brex with a 110k sign-up bonus. 100k+anything sounds good right now so I decided to take a look. Lucky gets paid for referring you to Brex so you can read the full details on his site. Personally, I’m not a fan of the brand name, reminds me of the ultimate backfire movement- Brexit.
From what I gathered by skimming my way down to the sign-up link, Brex is a business checking account for people with actual businesses, not an imaginary dog named SHRED sole proprietor (supra Citi AA Business Application). By spending 4k and linking payroll, something that I actually have along with applying via OMAAT’s link, 110k points will be mine.
I submitted the required documents and was instantly approved. Then I received an email saying they needed my Articles of Incorporation and that my approval was conditional. I submitted that document and now I wait. Since there is no credit check and no bullshit 5/24, I expect to be approved, something that I never say aloud in fear of angering the churn gods.
The reason I am excited for this card is because of the great opportunities for transferring points to airlines at a 1:1 ratio should any of these airlines be in business in 2025:
| Aeromexico Club Premier | |
| Air France/KLM Flying Blue | |
| Avianca Lifemiles | |
| Cathay Pacific Asia Miles | |
| Emirates Skywards | |
| JetBlue TrueBlue | |
| Qantas Frequent Flyer | |
| Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer |

Have you applied for the Brex card, Shredder?
My app went to pending and they said they would get back to me in three days. Today is day three.
They said they’d send me the credit card but I’m still not approved, approved. Another tech company overwhelmed it seems.
