I got my new Amex Platinum Card this month. Now at 720 Euros/year, this card is nowhere near cheap. But I have done my research and I decided to give it a try. In this video, I will cover everything you need to know about the Amex Platinum Card: the benefits, drawbacks, and most importantly, whether it is worth the annual fee of 720 Euros.

Great video but I wouldn’t take the Priority Pass benefit and €200 sixt credits at face value. Priority Pass is a moot point if you are redeeming your Amex points for e.g. business class because lounge access is included in these tickets. Also virtually nobody traveling in economy will pay for Priority Pass entries, not when the Priority Pass lounges are usually packed like sardines, at least in major European and American airports.

The sixt credits is also a bit of a booby trap because it’s way more expensive than common ride hailing services such as Uber/Bolt/Freenow/etc. and so you’re basically forcing yourself to spend more just to be able to utilize the credits.

Hi! Would you help me here with couple of points?
Is Amex in Germany available in English?
I am considering Amex Platinum and Revolut Ultra.
What would you say about those 2?

I'm a Blue Card holder in Germany. Can I still apply or only PR is required?

[PremViswa]

Great video! Do you know if there's a limit for the number of free lounge access per year?

Even Indian credit card has better programs than almost all German credit cards. Calling them boring is an understatement. In India, even premium cards that are chargeable, with cool benefits can become totally free with waivers offered to customers with good credit score and couple of years long history. No such benefit in any German credit card including Amex.

Boring like the UK too - a Mastercard world elite is few and far between usually being locked behind heavy criteria banks accounts - Amex has cornered the market in the UK - plus most Brits buy everything with their debit cards - they seem to have contempt for the credit card concept
