New Amex Centurion lounge at Charlotte Douglass Airport, photo gallery/article: https://thecreditshifu.com/uncategorized/take-a-peek-inside-the-new-american-express-lounge-at-charlotte-douglas-international-airport/
Can't mess with Amex
We need more lounge in San Diego Credit shifu!
You can't really fault AMEX for this if the card holder was gaming the system in an abusive manner.
Damn! The glory days are over
I used my skymiles to cover a 300 dollar ticket, paid 82 dollars by using plat Amex. It triggered the credit. HOWEVER I missed my flight lol and I called delta.. they gave me the credit back BUT they placed it on my delta account for another flight which I used that same day. SO IN THEORY can you buy a ticket and have it refunded as credit to a particular account without amex finding out? sort of a credit limbo?
Would love to hear your thoughts.. thanks!
My credit posted for the fee's associated with an awards ticket, I don't know if it will get clawed back? it was a delta international flight
Domestic travel: influenza, measles and ecoli and mad cow. I will just stay home…
This would make me ditch my gold card if this happened to me. I’d just rock my Zync card.
RAT 😄
I LITERALLY applied for this card 4 hours ago then this video came out 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
The difficulty of using the Amex travel credits makes it incredibly difficult for an average person to justify keeping all of their premium cards. It’s not easy to rack up 550$ (Aspire, platinum, gold) in incidental airline fees with a single airline.
Sapphire is still clutch. I’ve got my $100 gold credit, but this is just hilarious
Charlotte is one of my favorite airports! Too bad I don't have an AMEX Platinum card. Maybe someday. 😉
I used my credit for airline tickets under 100 and got flight credits instead of a refund
But atp… Amex can smd tbh🤷♂️
"US or domestic flights" pls shifu, if possible i'd just avoid airports and high population areas altogether; but if your occupation requires such then godspeed.
U always talk on your channel how you don’t advocate manufacture spend. This is basically manufactured spending too and you technically just said how how it’s a dick move on AMEXs end. Why are u always so against AMEX and pro chase it’s probably because of your business account u have there and wouldn’t be surprised if they pay u to say that
Good Video Me Shifu: Thou Shall Not Churn Or Game Baby
You say you use your airline credit to get into lounges you wouldn’t normally pay cash for like AA Admirals, but technically you did pre-pay for it by paying the AF so isn’t that tantamount to paying cash for it?
Inflation, at its finest.
I have been with American Express for 17 years. I have 7 credit cards with them alone. Never have any issues, don’t mess with the system and there is nothing to worry.
Credit shifu, you don’t have any airline c card?
I wish you could use them for upgrades.
I really wish they would just get rid of the stupid credit. It is especially irksome on the Platinum card; I would dare say most people who have that card usually by first class tickets and would never therefore get stuck with any fees. I would really prefer that they come up with some other credit or just make the airline credit work regardless of what you buy from an airline
Seems fair to me. Game the system and lose your previous years credit I’d say your just getting what you deserve. Home there aren’t many/any false positives though.
Good for AMEX!!! IF people just play by the rules (Terms and Conditions) you won't have to worry about this!!! If this person had to cancel their flight for legitimate reasons, then they should explain it to AMEX and get that in their file. Build good will and don't do this often!!! I used the airline fee credit on my AMEX Gold recently for the Even More Space upgrade and baggage fees and it worked perfectly!!!
Not to sound like I'm sticking up for these banks but it seems like people are just trying to get some free statement credits from American Express. I've got no problem with this as long as it is not being taken away from people who are using the credit right.
The credit seemed to work for me on a $48 dollar flight with Spirit. I was surprised when I saw the credit come through.
Their system has been rock solid for my Good and Platinum. Thumbs up to AMEX 👍🏼
Seems fair enough to me. The guy refunded the ticket.
I've had refunds, cancellations, adjustments of other credits on other cards and when the refund is processed the credit rolls back too. What am I missing here?
Hmm if you have priority pass and centurion lounge access why would you pass pay AA lounge? all of my travel credit usually go to JetBlue cheap flights.
I just received my Amex Gold Card– So Stoked! But I am only keeping my citi premier and this one, I can't justify keeping 6 credit cards.
Good to know, thank you!
I don't find this disturbing at all.
Yo Ben , did you say you can use the credit to enter ANY LOUNGE ? As long as it’s used ? Please elaborate
this is why im not getting the gold card, amex getting too greedy if your spending $250.00 af and the company suppose to give you this credit to offset the af wtf are you making it impossible to use it! Just make the af 150 or whatever for these extra bs credit. Im just getting the savor 95 af no bs credit and extra hoops for go through
Double dipped
I know how to get over with amex, i saved over 3K gaining the system. I hope they dont catch me.
