He sounds whiny and just wants to complain to complain. Not using Uber eats even for pickup? I’ve got plenty of meals for just the credit or slightly over and had it delivered, he’s just hustling backwards. Especially now that the $200 airline credit can actually be used for tickets on United :takedat:

I just hate waiting for customer support but might have to call them on this. Two worries is the hotel strictly states no refunds after a certain time and I didn’t book it through the portal. Just used the card.

As long as you used the card, Amex has your back.

You're fine.

I wanna get the gold or platinum but I think the gold would benefit me more as far as the grocery/restaurant rewards. But the look of that platinum :wow: I did the pre qualification and it said I could apply for both..I’m tempted to go through with it now but I just got approved for a new home loan and don’t wanna cause any unnecessary pulls right now.

Do not do this right now, then.

Absolutely do NOT open any new lines of credit until your loan funds.

Amex Gang, I am planning a trip to Cabo…….,I have the Amex Platinum, what is the best way to get hotel/resort discounts?

Do your flight and hotel through the AMEX travel portal. Filter it to show only Fine Hotel & Resorts (FHR) or The Hotel Collection and choose one that best fits what you are looking for. For FHR you will get 200 dollar credit along with a 100 experience credit you can use on anything at the property. So basically 300 dollars off.

Don’t forget early check in, late check out, and $50 each morning for credit on breakfast. The Delano basically paid me to stay there after factoring in all of those credits last year in Vegas.

Automatic. I pulled up at the hire desk check in to slip some $$ for the old school upgrade and they handed me the Amex perks printed on resume paper.
