Booking flights with Alaska Airlines using my platinum card not selecting seats. Then after the flight is paid for I go and upgrade the seats to premium cabin costing ~$20-$50 each way triggers the incidental credit. I dont know if its specifically the amount charged, just alaska or if amex sees two charges from the same airline on the same day. This has worked 100% of the time.🍣

The car rental status is phenomenal. You get faster service and better cars for the same price. As a tall dude getting upgraded to a larger car for the same price is well worth it. It’s hard to put a value on the lounge access for delta but it is incredibly convenient when flying delta.

My favorite lesser known perks: - Return protection: I have used this a few times when the retailer wouldn't accept the return and Amex covered the item cost - Cell Phone insurance: I haven't used it yet, but my wife recently cracked her screen so we will be fixing it and filing a claim soon. Screen repair is $330 and you're only on the line for $50 deductible.

Great video. 2 points I wanted to add. First is the extended warranty is fantastic. Our dryer broke and the company that we bought the dryer from wouldn't service it even though there was a manufacturer warranty because of where we live. I submitted a claim to AMEX and they fully reimbursed my payment because I paid with the platinum card. Two is the hertz status. I paid for a 5 passenger medium SUV (with my csp card for the primary insurance) that was around $290 for a future rental. Assuming we could get an upgrade, the 7 passenger medium SUV is around $635 so I'd be saving hundreds of dollars because of presidents circle status with the platinum card.

🍣 Gotta say, putting P2 and both my retired traveling parents as AUs has been great! P2 flying for concerts, parents flying for cruises, everyone’s tickled to have lounge access. Rakuten has been slick for me, since I buy all the work computers. Wait for 10% or better Dell deal, buy some servers, collect a couple/few hundred thousand MRs, and the servers were on sale too. Wins all the way down. It’s basically just checkers though; I’m itching for some 4D chess moves once MGM and Marriott start rubbing tips. 😅 At least I live in LAS and don’t have to fly here to try my shenanigans.

Don’t forget about purchase protection which covers purchases within 90 days of purchase. I recently had an expensive sweater which was stained with sunscreen. I submitted a claim and was reimbursed the full cost of the item. You can claim up to $50,000 per year and $10,000 per claim item. This covers accidental damage and theft. Does not cover consumables like cologne or personal hygiene items. This gives great peace of mind if something happens to a new item within three months.

I’ve had the card a couple of months and got it before a Europe trip. I used Centurion in the US and a nice Priority Pass Lounge in Rome. I didn’t have my Priority Pass card yet, but they let me in by showing my Amex card. Also, I paid $175 to get add on people (up to 3 for that price) to my account. So my husband and teenage daughter could use the lounges, too. Although not all perks extend to add on users, my husband was able to get his own TSA credit.

With regards to the Uber credit, I love mentioning that the credits are tied to the USD (regardless of what the T&C say...as of June 2023). If your destination uses USD, then the credit should kick in. I used it while in Ecuador, and it was super helpful since Uber scooters/motorcycles were about $1.25-$2/ride. I was able to zip around town for a while before paying out of pocket. Most of the countries that use USD are in Latina American, the Caribbean, and the Pacific Islands. I'm headed to Panama in 3 days. They have theirbown currency, but it seems like they are fine with USD too. Ill have to see if the credit works. Happy Travels ✈️

🍣 my favorite credits are Uber and airline incidentals. The concierge and saks have been pleasant surprises. Using saks to buy cute kids clothes on sale is great value. With those and getting decent value from entertainment and hotel credits I feel like I break even. But the multipliers on flights and amex offers (not all that much better then gold) bump it up to excellent value. Equinox is an easy skip and Walmart+ feels a bit superfluous

Had precheck and clear while my family didn’t. The expedited line was just as long as the regular line on Saturdays. In fact, in NYC, the family finished faster, twice. Better trick for vacation travelers, fly Saturdays and you won’t need precheck or clear.

Walmart+ has been an absolute game-changer in small college towns. They often deliver faster than Amazon does, and their customer service is better than what Amazon's used to be. Also, I feel like there should be a big asterisk for the Saks credit. I'm someone who tries to stay as close to the credit value as possible, but it's so hard to do with Saks because of the free shipping requirement, and their return policy isn't amazing. While I did get some very helpful organizational stuff, I really only planned on buying $50 worth of stuff instead of $120. I still got quality stuff out of it, just not at the value I was expecting.

I just did a deep dive of the benefits as I consider whether it is worth the annual fee. I realized that I was missing out on a lot of benefits. I just started traveling again and realized that my Priority Pass expired! It was quite the mission to figure out how to get it renewed but I did. I was disheartened to realize that there are so few lounges in the airports that I frequent. Thanks for this video and hopefully I can get more value from my card this year.😊 When I tried to switch my preferred airline online it said I had to wait until January even though I never used the incidental. I might try calling if I decide to use it before the new year.

Air travel is only stressful if you make it so. Pack ahead of time Make sure you have everything you need out the night before Give yourself ample time to get ready and go to the airport, check in, drop off you luggage and stand on the tsa line. You do it this way You won’t be stressed And you can then chill out in the airport get a meal and do a little browsing or shopping. 🙌🏽

I would say that for most people who travel, it’s a challenge NOT to recover the annual fee in annual benefits offered by the card. I use the lounges (PP and Centurion), the Uber credit, entertainment and a few others. I dropped the card in 2022, because the main benefit I used essentially disappeared: of seven attempts to access the Centurion Lounge at SFO, I got in once. It was COVID-related, so this issue has resolved itself. The lounge is greatly expanded; it’s now a thing of beauty!! I signed up and got the card back a few weeks ago. Overall, it is a great card and serves the title King of Cards!

I get the "easy" benefits from: $200 Uber/Uber Eats (pick up your food to save, and if you think you might forget to use the monthly $15 then a recurring monthly calendar item around the 20th helps a lot (plus an extra reminder in December about it being $35 that month)). $240 Digital Entertainment on the Disney bundle. $189 CLEAR. $98 Walmart+ (I had this before at $98 annually, so that is what I value this at). That puts me at a $727 minimum value or a net positive of $32. I use a lot of the other benefits too, but the above would be a sure thing every year and I don't consider them part of the "coupons," so everything over that is golden. Any "coupon" portion is fine with me once I know that I have already covered the cost with the above items. The wide variety of lounge benefits is HUGE.

🍣The best value for me personally is the centurion lounge access. I fly out from SFO - HKG a lot and the lounges have been a blessing in disguise, especially the one in HK. Food is always on point and they even have hot chinese herbal soup! Shower is a must after spending the day in HK and before the flight. Priority pass is a close second, however, I have been denied lounge / food access due to being an AE priority pass (apparently you have to pay full price on PP if you want to access all the benefits it has)

🍣 Great video, as always! I love the Platinum card. I definitely use as many of the credits as I can. I'd have to say my favorites the Uber credit. I use that every single month, without fail. Add to that the travel credit, the streaming credit, the Saks credit and the $150 Corporate Advantage credit and I definitely come out ahead vs the annual fee. I have also earned quite a few points with the 5x on airfare and hotels. As for which credits I do not use, those include the Equinox and Walmart+ credits. I have so little interest in shopping at Walmart that I could not even tell you where one is near me in Los Angeles, though I am sure they are everywhere. For me, the Platinum card is a great value. I am going to have to look into the Concierge benefit.

My big beef with AMEX is that it’s not widely accepted overseas. I don’t want a card that requires a backup when I’m out of the United States. If AMEX could find a way to increase their footprint like Visa, I’d be more inclined to go with them. Other than that, it’s a very, very strong card for booking travel.
@kenlee2923
@kenlee2923 10 месяцев назад

I had the card for over a decade. I didn't get much value from mine it's a business card and we do not travel ever. So as the annual fees kept jumping up eventually they hit $495 a year and I said enough. We down graded to the gold card one of the best moves I could of made. Gold gives you triple points on one of I think 5 categories that you could choose from. As a landscaping company it was sweet to be able to get that for gas and diesel. The points alone more than cover the cost of 2 gold card annual fees.

My only complaint about the Platinum is the lack of dining multipliers. I’d love for this to be my daily work horse.

I think I do well with the credits. My total credits exceed the exorbitant annual fee. I have never used the Saks credit but I will. I also love FHR. I thought I was the only one who changed hotels to get additional $100 hotel perks. 🍣

Side note if you pair this with the gold card, which gets $10 a month for Uber, it DOES stack for a total of $25 a month.

cabo san lucas priorty pass lounge has wine and snacks. I never forget the priority pass because it is on my phone .....you really should mention that the walmart plus allows you access to Sams Club gas stations which is a big bonus

What a great breakdown of this card, Sebby! I want it so bad! I'm currently in Amex Pop-Up Jail, I learned this went I went for the Resy offer of 100k points last week! Hoping they target me for an offer soon so they can let me free!
