Asking AMEX Platinum Cardholders What They Do For a Living 

I think a few fibs were told.

Hmm, the first guy is US military, spends $13,000/month and makes $150,000 as a nurse? Anyone else have trouble with that math?

keep the momentum,,, best card I have just cause it gets you in the room with the right convos and amazing food

This was great work man - good job and keep it up Professor Oak - dope video 😁😁🔥🔥

People are very comfortable talking to you and I enjoyed all their stories.

This video was great! You did an excellent job and asked great questions. Thank you!

Great video. I can't believe that more people there didn't have the Gold card as well. I have 2 Platinum cards but I don't use them unless I'm traveling or booking travel. The Gold card earns more points on everyday spending.

As someone who flies out of Sky Harbor about once a month, yes the Centurion Lounge is not as good compared to others like JFK, Vegas, it is still the best Lounge on Terminal 4, it's the sole reason I applied for the card. Definitely looking forward to trying the LAX lounge in the future. Great content, how did you get so many people to interview? Just curious on the success rate. This is inspiring me try this format on next Phoenix Centurion Lounge visit 😎

Love this type of videos!

Really commenting for engagement on your video, but you do great work and I hope that you continue to grow and thrive here.

The last two men had the best stories and the best use cases for their Amex products.

I have yet to visit a lounge but my Plat pays for itself. I was surprised that more of the people did not talk about the credits that eliminate the cost.

Cool video! Surprised these people don't seem to be maximizing their benefits most. I only ever use my platinum for travel stuff. Have cards for all other categories. Bc 1x for everything else is not good lol.

You should do this again same questions, quite interesting tbh!

Solid work man

I'm mad at myself for not applying earlier. Being military and being stationed OCONUS my entire career, back and forth from Ny to Alaska and Ny to Korea, i missed out on so many miles. Forever kicking myself. I love the USO but I'm interested in their lounges. Thanks for the content!

If you're truly savvy, you're going to be churning and putting expenses on a visa/mastercard. Keep the platinum for lounge access and travel benefits.

I like your choice of questions

first dude throwing shade at the phx lounge 😂

Good work!

Very cool video!

Up here in Canada, I have the Cobalt and Platinum cards. Cobalt is the major points getter, better than the Gold.

Great Vid

Lmao both me and my roommate have the platinum card and our combine income doesn’t even come close to that. I know three other people that have the card that don’t even make over 6 figures. I know it claims the average but I find that hard to believe. Side note - No one seems like they know how to maximize the Amex trifecta

I love the Centurion lounge!!! It’s worth every Penny!

The first guy spends 13k/month but says he probably makes over 150k??? So he spends more than he makes. Got it.

First guy spends 13k a month with income of 150k annual. Hmm...

Do some of them have no idea they can get better value from their own bank's credit card with other categories? Consolidating all your purchases on the platinum card alone doesn`t make any sense!

Platinum is for travel and big purchase. Gold and other cards is for everyday spending

I'd think people are private. What percentage said no they don't want to get interviewed? Interesting content. 🙂

Awesome!! Can you do a similar version for the Chase Sapphire Reserve?

Putting all spend on platinum lol. That’s funny. Gold card is every day spend. Platinum for travel. Both pay for themselves in credits if you use them.

More interview videos!!!!

80% of merchants I been to overseas outright refuse to accept Amex, I only use it when I'm in the US & use chase sapphire everywhere else.

I am an Amex platinum holder at the age of 21 and I am letting you guys know I do NOT hit these averages that was stated at all 😭 that being said, I feel like if you have good credit and pay on time these cards will come to you. I am starting to travel more and my Chase sapphire preferred basically paid for my Hawaii trip last year. I feel like a good mix of travel cards and cashback cards are a good balance. I’m not trying to brag or anything but I feel like if you manage your money well and have good credit then it’ll come to you. My annual income is less than 50k a year because I’m doing school right now 🥲 but I utilize all of the points and rewards such as Uber and membership benefits

Lol you would be underwhelmed if you asked me. I'm just in the military, our household income is about 50k.

Spending $13k/mo on an income of $150k riiiiiiight

The blonde lady is using the Platinum card wrong if she’s putting all spend on it 🤣

Little disappointed that the title says Centurion cardholders when you only interviewed platinum card members. Not your fault maybe none were in there but would’ve included at least 1 centurion cardholder if mentioning in the title.

Property much easier when you can use VA loan and get moved by the military.

Do they waive the fee for government employees?

How is he getting the fees waived he’s obviously not AD making $150k/year

Platinum card vanilla isn’t for anyone unless ur a active traveler, its a money fire ditch since not all credit will be used to break even on the AF. Multipliers aren’t helpful at all either.

"Quaility of lounges have gone down." Says the guy in the hoodie and a baseball hat

Hmm I was hoping you’d run into one black card member.

Lots of random giggles from the interviewer lol

Lol … many of these people were clueless about the cards. Unless your trying max out spend for an offer there is never any reason use the plat.

Amex (where the A sounds like the A in "dad") Not "Ay-Mex" Otherwise...great video!

Isn't it "AM-EX" not "A-Mex"?

1:57 wtf is he spending 13k a month on ? 😭

Who else in here doesn't believe the Blomde lady. Here answers sound shakey! SECRET! Lmao

First guy spending 13k per month on 150k per year?

Piper lol 😂

That nurse is not making that much on active duty pay.

Most of these people have no idea what they are doing. This is in no way a reflection about them but it makes me feel good I’m maxing out my benefits. 😅

First 2 people are the reason Amex needs to make it way harder to get the platinum.

I have this card and my household income is nowhere near 450k. I have 6 houses though but still low-key poor lol

The blonde chick has no property and missing out on points putting everything on a Platinum, pair with the Gold or other cards outside of the Travel multipliers.

bro i’m dead the spanish speaking guy didn’t even know what he said lmfaoo

Hey guys, if you need referrals I currently have 90k bonus for my gold one. Lemme know and we can both get points! 😅

That first kid must be in serious debt, he said he spends 13k a month but only makes 150k a year?

“Paying for my moms retirement” … sheesh he’s Fs investing…

Wait you make 150k and spend 13k monthly lol

WHOA… waived for military???

How tf you in military and make 150k a year, he must be an officer. I’m enlisted and make 40 k a year and I got accepted by Amex plat

I got this card when I was 23 you don’t have to be super rich just have really great credit which is not that hard if you’re diligent

Putting all your spend on the Platinum card 🤦‍♂️

RN spends 13k a month and makes "probably over 150k"....yikes.

aymerica

Nice content. And he’s cute too! ❤

Wait, the guy says he is spending 300K USD(?) a month but he is not worth even four million USD? That dose not make any economic sense even if he is spending the company's money🤔 Mining, events, government bribes excluded...

What happened with that mic drop!? Disappointing

Interesting that most people mainly mention the lounges, not mentioning the restaurants credit, the health insurance/cover, and all the other insurance benefits attached to the platinum card. I have an Italian platinum card, cost is 720 euro/year ( 60 euro/month ), I do a decent amount of traveling but not mad, considering the 300 euro worth of restaurants and the 150 euro travel voucher every year, the cost of the card really is 270 euro per year. Nothing for all the benefits included. Amex platinum is not just for rich people, I have a standard salary, but the Amex platinum works for me because of maximizing the benefits. Also Amex charge cards must be paid at the end of every month, this trains you to have better spending habits.

Leta be honest, you dont have to have six figures to use this card

You keep emphasizing $695, but the card has more than $600 in annual credits. So the effective fee is not $695. Plus the average income for Platinum card is above $1.3M, go figure.

300k - 500k spending but his net worth is no where near 4 million lmao

90% the Blonde married rich and took a real estate class. Probably sold 1 house to her rich husband lmao. Now on the one of those pyramid scheme travel agency businesses 🤣🤣🤣

Lady at 4:20 has no idea what she is talking about and I’m 100% sure the card is her husbands or someone else’s. Use platinum for everything for the points ? haha yeah your 1X is helpful !

First dude's watch is fake asf

Please stop saying “ay-mex”. It’s pronounced “am-ex” as in American Express. You wouldn’t say Ay-Mercia unless you’re from Texas. Love your content though. Very informative credit card info and reviews.

Dude only makes $150k a year and spends $13k a month. Who taught these millennials economics?!?!😂😂😂

Lots of bad advise 🤣🤣

Amazing how many Platinum card holders are actually clueless about points and miles and what their card actually offers them. Status seekers.

Piper (pipe_her ) is a fitting name for old girl

French guy was full of crap lol

blonde lady has no property and she needs a gold card.

You complain for 695 a year? 😂. In Mexico the anual fee is usd1000 + tax (less benefits). The Gold Card is 450 + tax

I’m an Amazon warehouse worker 🧍🏽‍♂️
