Watched this video as a reality check. We love this card for travel. Since we are able to travel during non-peak periods we have made out like bandits on the fine hotel room upgrades at plenty of awesome resorts!
Data Point... So I set Jetblue for my airline credit. I transferred points to cover a flight but obviously gotta pay taxes. So I used my platinum to pay. A few days later I was credited back my money. So the airline credit works towards taxes with Jetblue. So that was 100% Free flight.
The Amex sign up offers can be higher if you use the check for offers before signing up. I got 125K points for the platinum card this month for the same spending amount within 6 months.
Walmart + has been a huge help. I hate having to go to Walmart. Period. With + I just order everything have it sent home, saves money cause prices are usually cheaper on the app than in store, saves time and saves fuel.
some really annoying things with the monthly credits. I signed up for Walmart+ on July 1st and was charged. Then I was charged again on July 31st for August monthly membership. Because I already got a credit in July, I didn't get a second credit for the August benefit. Both Amex and Walmart customer service didn't help me so I just canceled it. Not worth the headache, but if I really wanted it I would try to set the billing date to the middle of the month if possible. I use audible for the streaming credit and was not charged in February. I think because it is a shorter month. Because of this I was charged twice in March and didn't get the full credit for both months. I asked Audible to revise my billing date to the start of the month. Hopefully they don't pull a Walmart + on me in July.
Note: The Gold card that a Platinum authorized user gets for free is not the Amex Gold. This gold card uses the same point system as platinum minus benefits. Though its free and points get accumulated to the platinum account.
Very impressed and thankful for that information. Idea: Create a webinar on something around benefits and I am sure you will get a lot of people to sign up for other things. Really enjoyed the presentation and tell your team great job also!
I've been using my $200 credit on United travel bank for years and it has always been credited. Deposit the $200 into the travel bank and buy airline tickets. Easy pz.
Pre Check still makes me empty pockets and remove shoes and belt. They say it's because I beep going through the metal detector. _Well... yeah._ 🤨 So the only benefit I get from it is skipping the line.
I thought to be able to have access into the Delta Sky Club, you have to have a Delta boarding pass for the same day? You can just add the card to your payments and have access whenever??
How does the Centurion lounge access work for family travel? I generally travel with my family of four so would that mean I would have to at least make my wife an authorized user for an additional $175 a year then pay for my kids, or would it be better to just use the priority pass lounge with something like the VX that has 4 free AUs each of which can have two guests?
I would do Priority Pass if I were you. I think one person can bring in four guests. Lately, the centurion lounges are really crowded, the quality has gone down, and they are smaller than other lounges like the Delta Sky Club.
If your kids are 13 or older, you can add them as authorized users as well which would get them lounge access. The $175 fee for AU's covers your first three. This would also begin establishing their credit history, even if you just kept their credit card in your desk drawer.
No worries. The guy that took my pic for my department of defense access badge did me way worse. Exposure warped my face and I look like the elephant man

You can only access Delta lounge if you are flying Delta.
Also with Saks you can use the credit for gift cards 😉
Thanks!
Wow thanks for the super chat!

I saw another video by Calby Ng that explains that airline credit kicks in on anything below $200
@@Jiggy609 What about a $100 airline ticket?
@@craigandemilysaddlesworth2784 yes it should work.

Can you explain how you did it?
Signed up using my brothers referral I got 125k bonus
My offer came in the mail.
Centurion lounge went down because everyone and their mom has a platinum card.
😂😂😂
True.I don't go anymore because it's too crowded
My main complaint… I just got a 30k retention offer though so all is good
And their grandma 😂
1st world problems 😉

Great video and I have the card. But so many complications and hoops to jump through. You need to be a PHD in Amex.

You bet!

What’s a good travel bank?
Can you stack them over years to build a larger amount over 200?
@@thebeddoctor4273 Yes, just put $800 in there last week. Expires 5 years from date of deposit. $5000 max deposit per day.

That’s awesome bro! Me and my wife are both in Clarksburg! We are both RUclipsrs as well. Thanks for this information
No problem 👍
So far I'm getting Hulu credit, used the $200 hotel credit, and liquidated the $200 airline credit with United.
Tips on the liquidation pls
Can you do one for the Chase Preferred/Reserve? If possible, thanks! And great video
Keep doing what you doing mate! You one of my inspirations to start my youtube channel and now its taking off.
You can do it!
Can you do the same type of video for the gold card? I feel like I might be missing out on some stuff.
Of course I got you!
What wallet is that at 0:01?
Same question! What wallet is that??
I cancelled all my Amex schwab cards because they are a coupon book. Past a certain point it's not worth your time. I'm in the Venture x camp now
VX transfer partners are awful
I feel like we've been turned away from Delta Lounges where they said we had to be flying on Delta, Platinum Card or not.
I thought to be able to have access into the Delta Sky Club, you have to have a Delta boarding pass for the same day? You can just add the card to your payments and have access whenever??
Keep them coming I need to know everything every statement about credit 🔥🔥🔥
Loving the content. Which wallet are you using? Thank you have a great day.
I haven't seen a Target offer! I'll double check. Thanks!
Great info will add the incentives to my card. Keep up the momentum!
Great video. I just received by Platinum card - so this was very helpful on how to maximize the benefits. Thank you
You are so welcome!
Bro great timing. I just received mine today 😁
@7:31, don't you also need to be flying Delta that day?
Thanks for information just got approved for card
Congratulations!
3:45 If I get the student discount will the statement credit still be $189 or only $60?
this is a good question
Just got an ad for Amex platinum before this video
You are doing a first rate job with this. Did I hear you're from Rockville? I'm Hagerstown! Hello neighbor!
I love the Amex platinum card. I get $1K a year for having it. It’s amazing.
Brian what is the wallet that you have in this video? I like the pocket where you have your Amex platinum..
Great video Brain ! Thank you for sharing
*Awesome!*
How about the premium car rental insurance? Does anyone see any value in that?
Yes! $75k in physical damage coverage.
Wow Brian i remember when your channel only had 20000 followers
Can’t forget the insurance coverage!
Isn't it only secondary 😊
Many free cards have this too
So Amex gives you a credit if you sign up for For the priority pass?
Another great video. What is the wallet in the beginning?
Did I just saw the black card at the beginning or do I need glasses 👀
How long do you have to stay in the hotels in order to get the credits?
So how much spending does one have to do to really benefit from these perks?
Isn't that the point of this video? It's only 24 minutes long to answer your question fully.
All the things mentioned in the video, does it apply to ANY amex platinum members or it is specific to where you're from? I'm from Canada.
How is it that your Amex platinum has platinum written on the front of the card ? Did you request that ?
Older platinum card. I remember when the letters were white and they had numbers on the front!
cell phone protection too!
question, visa had something like this "unlock cash"? or in this case, credits
Just recieved mine at the mail. im excited for my platinum card
can you buy airline gift cards and use the 200 dollar credit for fees?
Also have clear
Can you have clear on two Amex card platinum & green cards ?? Just Wondering Thxz
For the airline statement credit, are those credited on the next statement or end of calendar year?

Edit: I checked it's only if you're still active. Great deal though!
@@amh31 yea you gotta send ya orders in

Thank you, exactly the video I needed
Hi 😊How do we get co owners both names on cards is there something missing.
Which credit card do you all use when buying food at airport restaurants?
For room upgrades, if the next room tier up is full , is there a chance they can even bump you up a couple tiers?
Nope. Its literally just if a suite is available or a room on a less busy floor or a more desirable location in the hotel.
Do you get paid by Amex?
Can you use a US amex platinum overseas, say for the UK uber eats and rides? Or is it in US only?
Absolutely, and there’s no foreign transaction fee
yeah i hate the hassle of taking off my underwear at tsa check.
It’s the worst part about traveling
Thank you!
Can you make a video for amex business platinum
