I finally got the 100K offer to pop up. I applied yesterday and got the message that I wasn’t eligible for the bonus. Found it weird because I have never had the Platinum before and only have 3 other personal cards with Amex including the Gold Card. Just found it super weird that they would deem me ineligible!! Slightly frustrated
If I have a gold card, is it worth me upgrading with this new bonus
I just received my first platinum card, but it doesn’t have the word “Platinum” on it. Did American Express make a mistake?
Chick-fil-A’s app can take PayPal as well!
I just used the credit to purchase items that I would have purchased anyway. I’ll also get points in addition to getting the statement credit.
Can the credit be applicable to bit coin purchase?
I wonder, would it work if I did a paypal purchase using the pay in 4 option? That'd allow me to get a higher priced item.
Edit: Just tried it. Gonna check next month if it works.
Anyone know if the $30 paypal credit can be used with uber/ubereats/spotify/netflix while outside the US (while using platinum as payment method through paypal)?
Just got 125k bonus approval, thanks for the videos Sebby – super helpful
Sebby! Can you do a video on what the best options are to downgrade a CSR? I want to get the preferred (but also want the sign on bonus 🙋♂️)
This is the golden age of Amex Platinum. Even more so than CSR, if there was ever a time to have an Amex Platinum….
Any thoughts on Upgrading from the Amex Gold, considering that I won’t be able to hit the spending minimun for a separate Amex Plat.?
Got a data point. I opened the card at the beginning of December and I don't get the $30 PayPal Credit. My wife opened it in mid November and she does get the $30 PayPal Credit.
Is this PayPal credit for everyone or a targeted offer? Because I can't seem to find the offer on my AMEX website
Weird, I don't see this benefit anywhere in my Platinum Card account.
This might be one of the easiest credits Amex has ever introduced. The relative value of the Platinum card has really skyrocketed in the last 12 months.
I bought a $90 item through Saks Off Fifth, with 10% cash back through Rakuten, used PayPal. The item was shipped by Saks Fifth Avenue not by Saks Off Fifth. I got credited the $30 PayPal and my $50 Saks Credit and got 10% back! It looks like I was able to stack!
I got the AMEX Plat back in December. Do I still qualify for the Paypal credit?
It seems like they are adding a $10/month Uber Cash benefit to the Gold card for 2021! https://www.americanexpress.com/en-us/campaigns/uber/?intlink=us-USCS-ucb_my_do_gld#uber-cash-benefit
Great video ask sebby I used to think that though Delta business gold card is still worth it
Does the $30 credit work with Ebay purchase?
I never had any luck on card match with finding 100k or 125k for platinum but I did find 100k on the amex website when using incognito mode
I have an offer for free year of Blinkist (non fiction book summary service, audio and reading) can turn off auto renewal right after signing up also….free99 🙌🏾
I hold the Canadian version of the AMEX platinum card. Are these benefits offered to us as well? Thank you.
I'd love to see the average HH income with the outliners trimmed… I bet it is still up there but maybe not ~$800k. =)
Great video Sebby… thanks for the update on the Amex Platinum
This can be used for shopping online at these same stores, right?
Hi Selby, I don’t see anywhere on my personal Amex Platinum where it says I have a new PayPal benefit. Is this for everyone and where do I sign up?
Tried paying my Airbnb through PayPal… 6 days and no credit???
Fact:
1. Saks credit do not trigger on gift cards nor on paypal or any other wallet transactions
2. Paypal only trigger when used for checkout orders online.
