Big Boy Club……Amex Gold & Platinum Discussion

[Cladyclad]

i need to take advantage of this. Been looking for a good credit card to book flights. what Kinda perks do you take advantage of with it? That first class caught my eye already lol

I got my phone replaced after I lost it (I think $800 the max and 2 claims) I got a new tv because of a extended warranty. I think other delta cards have those two perks. But I almost forgot. Being Stockx don’t take shoes back. I was able to return them to Amex. But something happened was able to keep the shoes and get my money back. But return protection is pretty cool

i enjoy the delta club being free. Free food and drinks while u wait for the flight. but that first class or delta comfort is my fav. It’s a lot of the stuff. Well worth it

That wasn't where .

You should have used your points to book the flights through the Amex travel partners.

You can get like International business class flights for like 60k points and shyt.

Where? Unless you flying from seattle to Vancouver or some shyt.

I got this. shyts incredible if u take advantage of the perks. That $550 will pay its self. Free first class or comfort+ for your companion is dope AF.

So brehs if u get this card use the perks or u just giving away $550

Yeah I got this in June and the perks have been great. 70k miles off rip for the spend bonus, and it’s nice to be able to get a companion in the sky club, I’ve had some friends I traveled with who aren’t delta members and getting them right in was cool.

Not to mention there is a subtle flex when you throw that card out and it catches an eye

I prefer the platinum card above that delta specific one for the perks and because I’m not loyal to any airline even with delta being my favorite airline. Probably fly them less than 40 percent of the time

That’s the problem I have with airline cards as well, I’m taking the best deal $ for $ and the points are xfer able to airline rewards programs. As well it only gives you access to a limited number of Delta or United etc lounges where the plat gives you priority pass good for a lot bigger portfolio.

Forgot I had that $200 credit so we got a free hotel stay at the Baldwin here for a staycation. Babies are finally old enough to stay with their grandparents, it’s about to go down

I got to the Airport like 5 hours early. breeze though TSA with that free CLEAR+Pre check. Hit a priority pass lounge, drink they Likka, snack a lil bit, then go to the centurion lounge 3 hours before departure and eat a good meal, drink they likka then go get on the plane, pop two sleeping pills and wake up on the other side of the Atlantic when the plane is landing.

It’s a good thing I didn’t have lounge access when I was drinking. I would’ve ended up on a no fly list

OAN- I did my interview on arrival for GE the other day and the agent said I was approver. Got an email today saying I was denied. Requested a review to see if I can get that reversed. I think somebody messed up somewhere.
