What is exactly Pop Up Jail and how does one get in it? I hear the phrase a lot but I have no idea what it is and I have been eyeing an Amex.

Super late to the conversation but am I the only one who has lotions and potions that sorry, just cannot be trusted to foreign 1 bag, 100ml rules? I once had (of COURSE) a security guy at LHR throw away my gas perm contact solution bottle that was (thankfully) almost empty --the full one was in my checked bag but had I just done carry on only it would've meant glasses for the entire trip (the horror!!). Not to mention my La Mer moisturizer, sun screen, etc. Once a lady is at a certain age...well, I just cannot limit my hydration y'all.

And then, of course, there are shoes

I read posts from folks about doing 2-week trips with just carry-ons and I'm like: more power to you but no way that would work for me, lol

And I'm not a lady nor do I pack a lot of moisturizer, so don't have those excuses

When you apply for an Amex online you may get a pop up saying you are not eligible to get the special offer on the card but you can still proceed with the application and get approved without a special offer. So you are not getting a typical denial of a credit card, just not eligible for a special sign up bonus. So people call it pop up jail.
