First 😂
I'm glad that I applied before the af increase and that I can use all the new benefits
Covering this card in under 30 min. is impressive! Well done man 😁👊
“$700 coupon book”
Good post, maybe improve the audio.
I really appreciate the way you talk about credits and annual fees. Yes, the net cost of the card will be lowered with credits, but you’re still shelling out an annual fee once a year that you have to factor into your budget that month. No amount of credits will help you if you’re not liquid enough to do that
I had never heard of bumped before but the concept seems so cool. I used your link to sign up, hope you get some sort of referral bonus!
Thanks for the great video, really appreciate all the work (TLDR). Can you also do one comparing the CSR vs Amex platinum global assist such as emergency medical evacuation?
This video was just what I was looking for. Great stuff!
They need to add a $700 credit for flights with Virgin Galactic or Blue Origin space flights. That would then justify raising the annual fee to $990. People might want to hold out for the higher fee and more useless credits that sound cool.
A terrible card, so many hoops to jump through.
Awesome job covering all of the benefits in such detail! There’s a lot to cover so this is really useful
Jesus, they just need to extend the entertainment credit and should have kept the PayPal credit for next year.
Awesome video man! We enjoyed this one. Off topic, let's see a comparison video of the Sapphire cards compared to another one. Take care and keep moving forward!
I just got approved for the sapphire reserve and I have the gold card pretty solid combo what do you think?
I'll pass on the platinum..not paying $700 for a coupon card.
There is just so much going on with this card. I feel like this card could work in my portfolio, however I’m just not sure if I’d be able to keep track of all of that and end up losing money on that monster AF
For anyone getting the card now, Amex is having trouble getting people their Gold status with Marriott and they said it could take awhile before it gets approved.
Nice video, does the audible/new york times 20/month rollover?
👍
You missed the best travel protection option on the Platinum card: Premium Global Assist. If you are a card member and 100 miles away from home, Amex will pick up the cost for emergency medical evacuation if you end up in a situation where the local hospital can't adequately treat you or you need medical supervision on a trip back home. No need to purchase any part of the trip with the card to get that coverage.
Also on the round trip requirement, the terms say you can still book one-way tickets you just have to start and end in your home city. "The period of round-trip travel may consist of roundtrip, one-way, or combinations of roundtrip and one-way tickets with Common Carrier(s)."
We are all honor graduates of the Amex School of Higher Couponing after watching this video… 🎓 😉
With travel starting to normalize, the travel perks and lounge access seems increasingly important to maximize when it comes to credit cards. Incredibly informative video as always Dustin!
Super nice reveiew. Perfect. Thanks
Hi Dustin. Question on credit utilization rate (on per card basis): do credit card companies calculate this rate using the formula of statement closing balance divided by credit limit or highest credit amount used during the billing cycle over credit limit? Thanks.
Don’t forget if you opt for the “Charles Schwab” Amex Platinum you can get a $100-$200 discount on the annual fee depending on your portfolio size and 1.1 cent per point redemption rate directly into your stock account.
I believe the Uber credit in December is 35 dollars, not 20 dollars.
They really should rename the card to the Amex Manhattan, as it’s clear this is their target audience.
Do your airline credits still work? Did ya or anyone else still do the United banking deal?
American Express said you only need a ID and a boarding pass and a platinum card you don’t need to enroll in priority pass.
Thank u for this video, JUST GOT APPROVED for the platinum today with 125,000 point bonus!!!! I’ve literally been on flights and in hotels all year and this card seemed perfect for me!!!
Do you know if platinum card is offering travel medical insurance?
Thank you so much for your video
After Christmas u can get some great deals at saks , I got a 280) jacket down to 50$ – so free with the credits. If no deals to be had I just buy my fragrance there
hi is there a cap limit for how high these annual fees can get? or are these banks allowed to continuously increase annual fees whenever they want?
