Big Boy Club……Amex Gold & Platinum Discussion

[T.H.E.GOD]

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.

does this perk work when going through customs?

You need Global Entry rather than Pre-check. When you sign up for GE, you get Pre-check included fyi.

When I came back from Toronto earlier this year, there were like 200 people in the regular line to get through customs. I went to the GE line where there were literally only two people. I got through there in like 90 seconds

That’s what global entry is for, which comes with pre check. Most travel oriented cards cover that. Global entry is great

‘but to sign up for ge, you need the platinum first?

No. You can go to the TSA website and sign up for GE. However you need to charge the fee through the plat card in order to get the credit. Many people already have the card before getting GE.

you gotta have an assault conviction or some other shyt to get declined

Damn it. Not assault but something else over 15 years ago. I wonder why the agent said I was approved. He gave me a welcome booklet and everything.

Small win here. Nothing to brah about but I was able to switch my flight to a flight 3 days earlier and only had to pay $25 for the difference. I made the switch today and fly out tomorrow. I figured I’d pay a grip to change it. The concierge service was no hassle at alll. I’ll be booking through the Amex app for as long as I have the card.

Damn it. Not assault but something else over 15 years ago. I wonder why the agent said I was approved. He gave me a welcome booklet and everything.

Mine was the opposite. I disclosed an assault charge that was dismissed. They couldn’t approve me on the spot and had to review it with his boss.
Then 2 hours later I got the email that I was approved.

Let me tell you. That shyt made me adjust my behavior because I don’t want to lose this privilege. I hope that appeal works for you.
