Finally! My Platinum has this feature. I have the CSR as well but i love the 5x on flights and then just moving them over to Delta for more Skymiles. So excited for Trip Cancellation/interruption 🙂 Should i still get the trip insurance from Delta once this kicks in or save the $25-$30?

It's not positive it's 100% negative for the gold card. I'll either be getting a nice retention offer or I'll be canceling.

I have both Gold and platinum and still don’t worry about no roadside assistance. Geico provides me that for an extra $5 per month on my insurance coverage.🤷‍♂️

Hey my friend I went to US bank to get that checking/savings account in order to get the AR. While there I found out they have this great business credit card called the Business Cash Rewards card. It has no annual fee and has a $500 welcome bonus after $4,500 minimum spend. Thought you may want to do a video on it. If so, can you give me a shout out? I’m gonna start doing YouTube videos in the next couple months.
Thx!

Hey could you do a Pre-approved vs. Pre-Qualified video? I would really like to know the difference and what applies to both. Thank you and I really enjoy your channel.

Seems like the Citi removal of benefits was only the beginning. Also, depending on the type of Visa card you have, you'll still have these capabilities, just not from the bank itself.

Roadside assistance has been the one insurance-style benefit that I've used on my Amex. Most of the other insurances/protections just mean more paperwork – not something I want to deal with. But roadside assistance actually made my life a little easier. Unfortunate that they're dropping that one.

If booking with airline miles and paying taxes with American express you are not covered by AMEX insurance.

I have a question for credit shifu. Can I purchase delta $50 gift cards and get refunded by Amex ? Or any other airline. Using my Amex gold card

So, compared to CSR, amex wont have "travel accident", "baggage delay" and "Medical benefits?"

Where can one find information on these new benefits? I cannot seem to find it on the Amex website…I looked under benefits and did not see any verbiage on these new benefits. Thanks
