So I heard that you can trigger the airline credit by using the United Airlines travel bank. But I don’t want to get a shut down. Do you think Amex will shut you down if you bought $200 in United travel bank?

Question. Can you still use plastiq to pay rent and use Amex? Or will I get shutdown?

Hey Sebby. Does spending on a business card help get rid of the Amex popup? I closed my personal Platinum card about a year ago after the annual fee hit, and now I only have the BBP. I put a decent amount of spend on it, but I have gotten the no bonus popup for the Gold card three months in a row. Then today I got an email from Amex for a 100K offer for the Business Platinum. Will spending on my BBP get rid of the popup, or are there separate personal and business jails? Thanks.

Harry ads seem cheesy but seeing you shave was humorous and entertaining for some reason!

Amex is like the honeybadger… just 'DON'T GIVE A F***". But actually just follow the rules and you should be good

Hi Sebby! I’m looking for guidance. I’m about to spend a couple thousand furnishing my apartment. All I really want is free flights since I’m spending the money anyway. What card do you recommend getting going into the ew year ? Thank you in advance 😊

Manipulating Amex for points seems too complicated for me. I just use mine for legitimate purchases I know I will pay off at the end of the month.

I paid all my utilities including phone and internet bills using my AmEx with no problem. I also use AmEx to pay for my new car's downpayment at the dealership with no problem.

So this has me kinda nervous! As long as your paying companies direct (even if they’re listed as no good) as long as you’re not using PayPal or plastic you’re okay? I pay most of my bills directly and quite a few are insurance related, but I pay those bills directly to the company with my Amex. I don’t use any third party or anything. Do I have any reason to be worried?

Why do people say 'ex' instead of 'times' – so annoying

Wait- did he say that paying your car insurance with your Amex is not ok?
I just got the platinum card and as an effort to hit my minimum spend, I put all my recurring bills on my Amex card.

So the list of things that are good or bad (at the end of the video) only deal with if you’re paying through Plastiq? Or is that list across the board?

Amex shutdown my Platinum for "Abuse" and refused to provide any details such as what was said or done or even the date.
