Big Boy Club……Amex Gold & Platinum Discussion

[aXiom]

Got the 150k Amex plat offer. Debating whether to grab it, make it my main card and downgrade my delta plat before the re up next year. I also want do Japan sometime later this year. Gonna have to look at the transfer points and partners.

If you get almost all of your food from grocery stores and restaurants, the gold is one of the most valuable cards you can get. That’s a lot of food purchases and 4x points. Not sure how that’s pointless.

Nah It’s pointless…

The gold card you get for authorized users of a platinum card is not the same as the standard gold card. Nothing you said applies to it.

I was talking about the regular gold card. Not an add on.

how much is the yearly fee?

 

[aXiom]

how much is the yearly fee?

$695.

But there’s:

$200: Uber credits.
$189: Clear.
$240: Entertainment; Disney+, ESPN, Hulu
Gold Marriott and Hilton status, plus $200 credit per year.

So it’s not really a bad card, it’s just that it’s a travel card, so you only get 1x points for normal shyt.

With the 150k offer I’m looking at around $2300 in credit after the $700 hit.

Anybody fukk with the referrals?

Man, y'all some credit card dummies.
Just a bunch of hoe ass nikkas with no money.
What's the over/under when your credit's wrecked.
Y'all going bankrupt, I'll take that bet
brag on something that ruins people for years
You want rewards, here's one, dikkhead of the year.
Your credit's an abortion, it went too soon
Y'all nikkas stay broker than a boiler room.

And y'all some weird avatar having jokers
I'm not taking financial advice from baby Yoda
That 150k in credit is not yours
If people weren't suffering, you wouldn't get rewards (thief)
Oh look, you get free entry in the delta sky club.
Now you can say that you're a mile high scrub.
Staring you in the face,, you scared to see the message
Credit cards are pointless, they have rounded edges.

Mic drop, bytch.

Got an Amex business plat. I use it mainly for lounges and hotel status. So far so good. It’s easy to get the annual fee value back in first year but it’s really year 2 that you would really need to travel or spend a lot of get value. I actually used it to pay my taxes so really easy to fill the spend to get bonus.

Loving this new perk being a delta Amex holder. 15% off booking a flight with miles.

My next couple flights round trip two passenger will only be $24

Quick question. About to make this jump to plat.

It’s an upgrade option. So I don’t get to keep my gold?

If I do get to keep it, do the apps synch or I have to manually switch from one card to the other to keep track?

Appreciate it….

Everytime I see this thread bumped I come in here thinking AMEX fukked the platinum benefits up again

Does the upgrade come with a bonus? Otherwise, I’d wait for a new sub bonus and just sign up.

I’ve had the gold for 19 months and applied for a platinum after they offered 120k points.
