It doesn't make a difference and I got the card for the same reasons since I travel at least once a month. Its just that one it seems a lot of platinum card holders including myself don't really get why it's on there.
1. its not 4 us, we eatin
2. its on there because they are trying to add things for people who still are not traveling frequently due to covid. most americans wont even take an international trip right now. those people really need to cancel the card and they doing things for them

AMEX has to offer something and they have to balance that something with what it will cost them. the equinox thing is low cost for AMEX because equinox isn't even in most markets. I think AMEX knows what there doing with this move. as long as i get my 5x on travel purchases, lounges and other perks im good.

I feel like all of the credits that they added could be switched out and be immensely better

the clear credit was clutch to me

I get it. It just doesn’t seem that the Amex customer would frequent Walmart, but I guess if they have money to throw away have at it.

And I hate Walmart too…all but one I’ve been to has felt dirty and unorganized.
you not going to have to go to walmart. they have positioned themselves to compete against amazon in the free shipping space so its going mean aditional convenience in free shipping and services which i think the average platinum card holder can find value in

Rumored new features for plat users coming soon

:ehh:

We have a neighborhood Walmart that’s pretty nice in an upscale neighborhood not far from the house. I think it’s free grocery delivery and a couple other small perks so I’m down if it’s free or next to free.

Soulcycle will be good to hit up for a change of pace during my workouts too as long as it’s free or you pay for classes one at a time and I’ll go for however much the free limit is.

Sixt is bigger overseas so if we get to use those bennies in Europe those Mercedes rentals are nice, we already have status with Hertz, Avis, and National on the platinum so this gives us one additional option.

Yeah if it was like $100 off their $200 per month membership I would sign up and pay the difference but $35 on a $220 per month membership with no trainers and only 1 location in Houston? :heh:

I just joined the AMEX club a couple months ago. My credit isn't even that great. It's between 690-720 depending on which system you go by. I thought for sure I'd get turned down.
Be careful with this card if you aren’t responsible, having to pay everything back inside the month you spend it will eat your ass alive if you ain’t got the $$ breh
