Do you foresee any new benefits or credits coming to any of the other co-branded credit cards, specifically Hilton or Delta?
AMEX should allow us to change our preferred airlines. I was going to fly United for business this year so I changed it from Delta. Now I will most likely fly Delta.
Thanks Sebby
You're the man Sebby
They need to change the gold's $100 airline credit
Great video with predictions and I really enjoyed the comparison with other countries. Please keep adding the benefits for Amex Canada as some are different from USA and there are a lot of Canadian fans watching your videos! Good job Seb!
These are fine if they do anything to AMEX Platinum, I don't have it, nor plan to in the immediate future (6 mon gardening for home mortgage). Even my AMEX Gold is sock drawer-ed for this quarter because it's grocery time with the Chase Freedom and I got a special from the Chase WOH card. Spend $5K between 4/15 to 6/30 to earn 3 Qualifying Night Credits toward status (for World Of Hyatt card only, old Hyatt card gets you 2 night credits). That and other spend requirements to reach status with Hyatt has made this my everyday spend card now (bye AMEX ED). I've got plans when they let us all out!! Now time to head to Plastiq with Sebby's link!!! 😉
Chase already has Spotify free for 6 months
yall remember when youtube videos were less than 10 minutes each? not even in my 30's and I feel fuckin old!
Sebby, can you do a video on Amex travel insurance and the coronavirus? Amex is totally disappointing on this.
I had applied over $200 of incidental airline fees towards checked bags, seat upgrades, and boarding upgrades. When the flights were cancelled, I received over $200 refunded to my Amex Plat (I now have a balance of -$211). Will Amex claw back $200 out of that, since those came from them? Or will that just be free money for me to use?
Just got approved and setup with a platinum Card. nice
Anyone else NOT getting the promised $15/month Uber credits? It’s a monthly argument I have with Uber support until they finally process a credit.
I canceled both Platinum (membership was due mid-March) and Gold (membership is due in May) cards. I’ve saved $800. Moreover, without lounge access, hotel upgrades, and the stupid $200 airline credit I’ve barely used are other reason I gave up the cards. I’m using the Chase trifecta for the time being. Maybe after the pandemic I’ll go back only if the Amex lounges stop having waiting list and the airline credit is changed to a travel credit like Chase.
I've had an Amex offer for a few months of $10/month statement credit for wireless (on my EDP, but they could broaden that to the other cards). As for streaming, another possibility would be SiriusXM, given the high ARPU and demographic overlap with the Platinum (I've seen a figure of average age: 49, median income of over $100k), and SiriusXM is sufficiently auto-dependent that they might just be willing to do a deal with Amex to boost subscribers.
Credit card default rates are running at 3.9%. If anything expect credit line cuts and reduced promos.
MR points redemption to Schwab Brokerage Accounts as of today is not working anymore. I redeemed points 04/23 and it worked. As of today 04/26, it's not allowing multiple people to redeem our MR points to our Brokerage Account. Hopefully it's just a maintenance glitch, but it would be very, very, funny timing!
Question:
I’ve been wanting to get a new CC. I currently have American Airlines Platinum card and use it to accrue mileage and what not.
Should I upgrade to American Airlines Executive Card or American Express Platinum?
1) Credit Score is 770+
2) On time payments, never late, and pays off only credit card to zero
3) Income is good
Do anything Sebby!
Can you do a video of best card by network… Best Visa, and Best Mastercard?
Hi Sebby, I've been watching your videos and talked myself into getting the World of Hyatt card through Chase instead of any of the AMEX cards.
I was just approved. Looking forward to using this card for stays and travel.
Hey Sebby, do you think they will ever remove the platinum $550 yearly fee? Or is that asking too much?
I have a gold card they gave me three months extra to spend my $4000 spending requirement
Important Notice: Amazon does not own Instacart, please correct that misinformation.
Seb – where do you see the $20 for 1000 points in Canada? I'm only seeing $10 for 1000 points as their "promotion" until September.
FYI – I have the Business Platinum, so it could just be the Personal Platinum?
how are you still getting haircuts?
The Gold isn't a loser, just isn't their biggest money maker. They'd never use a loss-leader strategy for a credit card.
Good day sir, have you done or would you be willing to do a video about the value (or not) of having the AMEX Platinum, Gold & Aspire cards?? Thx !
New Amex benefits are live! Watch the updated video here: https://youtu.be/5VLsfURVU_g
I just downgraded my Platinum to the green card because Amex wouldn't offer me any retention bonuses to keep the Platinum.
Whats a good price target to buy AXP? It was at 86.38 today…..
I finally cancelled my platinum card today. They offered me a $500 statement credit to keep it open. I thought about it for few seconds… all that came to my mind is how I used to chase after the benefits (airlines credits, uber credits…). Final decision: NO thanks!!! Can't be chasing my own money anymore. Free at last.
Given the current environment, would you recommend holding off to apply for a new card? Do you think once the economy begins to open up there will be more aggressive incentives and offers coming out? My take is – with unemployment up banks will be more cautious to issue credit, but at the same time they will be eager for new clients. Trying to figure to pull the trigger or hold off.
Hi Sebby, with regards to Canadian American Express Cards, what are your thoughts on the Scotiabank American Express cards that earn Scotia Rewards points in comparison to the credit cards that are featured on the http://www.americanexpress.ca website? Are the Amex Membership Rewards points more flexible than Scotia Rewards points?
Hey Seb, love your videos and i have benefited a lot from your videos!! Quick and friendly correction INR stands from Indian Rupees, you said ruble in your video, just wanted to make a minor correction!!!
