It's absolutely crazy how unintuitive and difficult all of these individual benefits are. It's damn near a part time job to figure out how to optimize so that you can edge out a 200-400 dollar net gain on the year vs the 695 yearly fee. Absolutely wild that something percieved to be this nice would be such a coupon grind lol.

I used the cellphone protection for my daughter's iPhone. If you have a family it covers everyone on your cellphone bill, so it's well worth it and you don't need to buy AppleCare or other insurance and covers all phones on your bill. 👍

John! One of your best videos to date. Clear and precise! Thanks for the education

Just got my platinum in the mail the other day. Never called to ask, but they overnighted the card for me!

Such an important list! Glad to say my Amex Plat is probably my most valuable card by a wide margin (and that's with only getting a 75k bonus years back). With credits making up more than the annual fee already, all the other perks like status and protections are just icing on the cake.

The Platinum card should upgrade hilton and Marriott status to Platinum

You can pair tsa pre check and clear. Having clear while having pre check will allow you to skip the pre check line

[Iamglobalentry]

Clear can give You Access to Entry into some Sporting Events bypassing long lines, also it holds your Covid information for Countries that still ask for it and it can also be used and some Concert events just a FYI

Active duty military gets the yearly fee waived :)

the only thing I’ll say about the return protection is the Chase Sapphire Reserve is at $500 coverage vs the Amex Platinum at $300. Not too many cards offer it these days but it’s an important distinction none the less.

The airline credit won't work for most WiFi purchases since the WiFi provider is a 3rd party servicer (go-go, T-Mobile, etc) You're paying money to that company, NOT the airline.

I think the Amex Green card is valuable as well. Not a lot of people talk about it but I think its a hidden gem.

Thank you for such an integrated informational video. So helpful. Just wanted to say that the equinox is super useful for me even though I haven’t got the card yet. 😅

Don’t forget president circle with hertz 😊

Hey yall my longest credit line was only 2 years and 1/2 and i had a score of 731 and just got approved yesterday for platinum! I will say i did open a savings account with $10 a year prior with amex i didn't add any more money just let it sit

[thomuso]

ohmy, you speak really fast, English is not my native language, but i take listening to you as training to help me improve my English :P

Ill soon have my first AMEX card, and its a Platinum, so ill have plenty to read up on ! So long!

[JuanJohn]

It works with JetBlue also if u book $99 or under

7:04 My dad was a early adopter of clear, and I used it when traveling with him, It’s an awesome system and to hear theres credits for it is a plus

[cybereagle]

Global Entry now has an app, I was through immigration in Miami in less then 10mins

Great tips John! I keep getting an invite to apply from Amex. I have the Hilton Aspire and thinking about getting the platinum, so this video was encouraging.
I’m just confused if Priority Pass will let me take my spouse in the lounge with me along with the other lounges?
