If I bought a holidays using Amex Nectar, do I still get travel insurance from Amex Platinum ( p.s. I have got this card)? or the holidays need to be purchased using Platinum card to be covered fully? thank you for your thoughts, love you videos mate

[@LoyaltyLlama]

Hey! Medical, personal accident and car rental insurance are available regardless of which card you paid with. For everything else, like travel inconvenience, postponing trip, loss of personal belongings / documents you need to pay with the Platinum card.

The gold card feel pointless after the first year due to free rewards credit

[@LoyaltyLlama]

Yeah, you have to fit a very specific profile to justify keeping it for 2nd+ year. I actually talk about that in a dedicated video here - kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYfEhGybZs6ZZrc

Thinking of getting the Amex BA Premium for 60k avios, then getting the platinum for 60k MR (referral link)

[@LoyaltyLlama]

Wait, is there a 60k Avios offer for BAPP? It go for that too as it's now been 2 years since I had a BA Amex.

[@jonh1787]

@@LoyaltyLlama yeah, you could make a video on it, you have to go via the avios website and the offer is until the beginning of June

[@jonh1787]

Yeah you could make a video on it. You have to access the promo via the Avios website.

[@LoyaltyLlama]

Just checked and the offer is even more generous than last year (the spending threshold to get the bonus is lower). Thanks so much for the heads up! I'm surprised HfP and similar haven't reported it yet! And yeah, video coming asap now 😁

@@LoyaltyLlama ok that’s good to hear, I’m traveling right now and the comments weren’t saving, so you may see some duplicate comments until I can remove them 😂

[@johnwick860]

the only AMEX worth getting are the Hilton cobranded cards... not the Gold or Platinum

[@LoyaltyLlama]

We don't have those in the UK though. There was a Hilton card but it got discontinued years ago. But to be fair, there's still a Marriott Amex card which doesn't seem to be too popular over here (kzbin.info/www/bejne/kIK8ooiKfLCFpNE)

Hey, I think my emails are going to your spam folder.

[@LoyaltyLlama]

Loved the video BUT My bro, Its time to hit the gym. You would look incredibly great if your arms bulked out your shirt and your neck & shoulders were more padded up. Not saying you need to become big like a brick, just a little bit of more muscle is all. Alternatively you can take up sport like Bouldering (Climbing) or MMA / Jujitsu
