You did miss out a few perks, the hotels collection (100$ statement credit and room upgrade) available on cobalt, gold, etc Gold card also has basic priroty pass membership included so the lounges arent free to access but you can still access them for a small fee. Apart from those being missing great video!
You guys should add the time bookmarks , i heard it helps with YT algorithm Do you guys use apps to help keep track of offers/points where to use? Trying to find a Canadian perpsective on these apps if worth it.
Thanks for the suggestion, will keep that in mind! In terms of apps, We know that there are a bunch of them out there but we don’t personally use them. We keep track of our points through an Excel spreadsheet, but different things work for different people.
I might have missed it but if I start off with the green and then later upgrade to a different card, do I still get the welcome bonus (bonus on first card and again on 2nd)?
No you don’t, That’s a common mistake people tend to make. For example if you get the 10K points on the Green and then call Amex to upgrade to the Cobalt, you will not be eligible for the welcome bonus on the new card. You will have to apply for another card separately to get both bonuses. Let me know if this was helpful!
I wish they would roll the Cobalt into the Gold Card and replace the 3x streaming with the drug store category of the Gold. With those multipliers I could justify the annual fee for the gold card, but I think I will be downgrading to Cobalt before my next annual renewal.
Thanks for catering to the Canadian market! Appreciate it from Calgary!
Glad you enjoyed the video!
Although i'm not Canadian, this was really informative! thx!
