I noticed that the online application asks for employer’s name, job category and time at job. Would someone who is unemployed be accepted eventhough they have a very high FICO score and clean credit reports?

My guess is self-employed is always an option.

Can I make monthly payments on existing credit cards or car loans and would this count toward $3000 in spending to get points.

Note United Airlines is now one of the 1:1 point transfer partners, which makes this card particularly valuable.

this card is the ish. I got it when it was still a $500 Bonus, and they absolutely honor that, and I used it on more than $600 worth of flights!! The card itself, is metal, heavy and impressive. Service is best I’ve experienced, live person picks up on first ring every time. I always get comments on it whenever I am making a purchase. And I charged this thing all over Argentina and Brazil, no international fees, no bullshit!
