The Amex Platinum changes recently made me a lot less excited about this card than I was previously, but there's no denying it's an awesome card for a lot of people. It's definitely a card that folks need to do the math on BEFORE applying for it though, because if you're unaware of how to optimize it, you could be wasting a bunch of money holding this card. Great tips all around Daniel!!

I just got it and love. Haters gonna hate.

The SAKS credit is pretty nice. Perfect for Office Christmas Party Exchange- something on sale or discontinued like blender, shakers or something cute that wraps and presents well for holiday parties.

My sign up bonus was 150, 000 points which I received in the mail. As far as I can tell that’s the highest one they offer.

I have 3 AMEX cards. Gold, Platinum and Blue Everyday. Travel extensively worldwide for my career but retiring next year. AMEX Member 30+years. Will only keep the Gold (my 1st Amex card) and ditch the other two. Sure don’t need 3 now. And certainly won't keep the Plat because I get no value like airport lounge access because I fly Business Class anyway.

Perfect timing on releasing this video considering the new updates on the platinum. Great video !

The equinox benefit is actually a pay in full benefit. I got $300 off the first $300 I spent at equinox (not $25 a month as mentioned in the video)!

I’ve had a corporate card for years that I never use, and I’ve finally put it to use to get that $150 credit on my annual fee. Thank you so so much for the tip!

2x back for non-category would be great.

I cashed out 467, 000 AMEX and Chase combined points and bought a bunch of tesla stock when it under $200 bucks 😅

I just signed up with an offer of 125, 000 today on 1/23/24

On Uber credit use it or lose it, can you just buy gift card or add funds to you Uber account and still qualify for monthly Amex credit?

@13:37 You didn't need to flex on us like that, king

[Milkinporsche]

Airline credit is great for airline lounge day pass.

[DJOctober]

As soon as I’m out of pop up jail I’m gonna come back to this video and make sure I take advantage of all of the tips, tricks, and credits the card offers!

Probably won’t be free until I hit both my Business Gold Card Welcome Offer and the Business Checking Account Welcome Offer.

Great video 🎉🎉 Great details 🎉🎉 I ask that the YouTube CC community stop devaluing the Equinox credit. The Equinox credit is great for digital use also. Travelers and home exercisers need to exercise. This credit adds value for those persons.

I have a mexican issued amex platinum card. annual fee is 1300 usd + tax and yes, the annual fee is in usd, so the actual cost in mexican pesos varies with exchange rate.

How much does hit hurt to close a card

[Whatsdanieldoin]

Does the $15 uber credit stack with the $10 uber credit from the gold?
