Big Boy Club……Amex Gold & Platinum Discussion

[CashmereThoughts]

Which ever works best for you. It's there just as an option if you ever need it. 800 may not cover the whole phone however it makes replacing it much more palatable.

I just keep insurance

15x plat for 6 months right? If that’s a permanent perk I might have to get the wife to open her own account

Ya for 6 months. Still a hell of an intro offer with the 125k points when you spend enough

Yeah I caught Amex at just the right time with the 10x gas offer and got 30k points on them from a 7000 mile road trip back in august

I’ve got my eye on the Sapphire reserve next and then the venture x once they build a lounge here in Houston.

Facts

Anyone paying attention to the moves Capital 1 is making? They coming for Amex throat with the Venture X

Wife has a regular venture so we will probably upgrade that when it’s time, we aren’t using it atm. They only have 1 lounge in DFW with the next lounges coming to NY and DC. It will probably be 2023 before we make that move but those perks look really good and will only expand. I have a quicksilver MC & Visa and haven’t used them at all this year I just keep them for credit age, you can still get in the new lounge with a plain venture card so it’s just a wait and see if they add a lounge to IAH which is when we will pull the trigger


Capital One is launching its first-ever premium travel credit card, Venture X - The Points Guy



Our very next move is to complete the chase trinity and go after the reserve since we have a preferred and unlimited already (we just don’t use them shyts either because Amex got all our money and attention right now).

fukk captial one, 6 fig 6 certs don’t fukk wit that bullshyt… Amex or nothing

Man I got a package for me to upgrade to Platinum.....I still got plain Jane green....should I get one of these.....

If you upgrade instead of applying you will lose out on the signup bonus forever.

Ex. If they offer you 25k points to upgrade vs 100k to apply.

Is this an online thing? I do a lot of traveling and I am interested in getting this service, where can I apply for this? I hate long lines, they were ridiculous during the stimulus checks era with everyone flying, since unemployment have stopped a bit and the checks have slowed down, it seems like the airport/TSA has simmered down but I still have to be in lines with slow moving ass people

People move so slow, but yea where can I get this service and avoid all of this?

Look into Global Entry, best $100 I ever spent. I think Amex Platinum gives you a credit if you apply.

Got preapproved for the gold or plat but I’m just trying see if it would be worth it to get. I have to re-evaluate my expenses and how I use my current credit cards but not gonna lie, I just want to be able to whip this out at various places

fukk captial one, 6 fig 6 certs don’t fukk wit that bullshyt… Amex or nothing

I joined 6 fig gang this year and Cap 1 is the Hyundai Genesis of the field. It’s a really nice car and this card is going to undercut and overvalue every luxury card out right now.

Get both and stack all the points. If you have to choose one get the platinum and then after you’ve hit the welcome bonus get the gold
