Thank you so much for everything. I appreciate you .. Sebby , what do you do if your Amex business Platinum offer expires ,can you still use the rsvp code ? i missed the date

[@sixthscentsfragrances2140]

Definitely took me a minute to figure out. I called Amex eventually to ensure I was clear

This was a fantastic video. We need this for the CSR as well.

[@jjphelps777]

Great Video! Everything explained clearly as always, and appreciate you adding time codes for the different benefits!!!

[@EsteemedImage]

I LITERALLY just did these things this weekend and I’m glad I did, especially the priority pass and the activating the Gold Statuses

[@JonathanSorunke]

Great video! There’s so many perks it’s pretty hard to keep up with all of the benefits.

[@los_]

Wow, I was seconds away from paying full price for CLEAR and then you mentioned the Delta discount. Thank you!

[@samr6148]

Thanks for the updated Platinum To Do's. BTW, I would like to suggest taking a look at toaster ovens with air convection feature. Small footprint like the air fryers. May not be as fancy, but I think may be a good alternative.

[@stevenhaff3332]

Thanks Sebby! Not sure if I'm really a candidate for the Platinum card but I find your videos to the point and info packed. That in itself is a big positive.

[@JdotJdotJ]

Clear player 2 tip is golden! Thanks Sebby

[@Valdzzy]

I love my ninja air fryer. As far as lounges, the annex is still my go to

[@fsauceda3]

I use the instant pot with the Air Fryer lid. Love it, works great!

Thanks for the update.I will add a few to my card.

[@SimX9000]

What a great video. Soooo many hoops. Thanks for making this

[@jax2886]

Thanks for all the content! Looking at upping my credit card game and you information is very helpful! I love my Ninja products, dual zone air fryer is great because you have two baskets depending what your cooking. I got my mom the flip oven, it can bake/sir fry/etc which is great for meals.

[@ShinobiGunmanX]

Three things I’d like to add: 1. Regarding the Uber credit, I had a hard time getting it to show up on my Uber Eats account, so I did have to call support to get them to help. 2. When I signed up, I also got an Uber Pass for a year that gets you free delivery and 5% off your order, so it definitely sweetens the deal using Uber Eats. You also get Uber VIP status, although I have no idea what that actually does as I rarely use Uber. 3. Asking Sebby on his website for help choosing what cards to get was awesome, and he helped plan out how my wife and I should use points to get our dream trip to Japan

[@coreyford9418]

Great video! Excellent job at breaking the perks down.

[@victorledezma6652]

After working several years at Wynn Las Vegas I can definitely agree the FHR credit is so baller it honestly made me want a Platinum card so badly

[@zifnabdr]

I would love to see a video about the hotels in Vegas!! Let’s get it done!

Just got mines today. Thank you for all your videos.

[@cody5021]

Thank you Sebby, very helpful as always.

[@jm4020]

Powerxl Power Airfryer 5.3. We are on our second air fryer and we went with a dual layer this time. Big mistake. The basket type on the XL is much more convenient and less messy. Also the digital timer, temp and food type settings is so helpful.

[@jasonp.1374]

I have an Aria 30 Qt touchscreen air fryer/toaster oven. Home Depot had it on sale for $149, marked down from $199, and I used the spend $100, get $100 in statement credit from the Platinum Amex Offer. The total cost came to about $60 for a $199 unit. Overall, I'm pretty impressed with it.

[@GroomsJk]

Just got the Platinum card as I travel domestically 1-2 wk/mo for work. Thanks for helping navigate the use of this card.

[@TrumpetGapper]

Sebby, my air fryer has changed my life! I have a no frills bella 5 qt. It was $20 and I bought it to try it out to see if I could really use one. I use it every day. A burger, chicken breast, pork chop, fish sticks, mozz sticks, french fries, reheating pizza, reheating a hot sandwich it's so good. HIGHLY recommend.

[@awaman12]

Yes please on reviewing fine hotels and resorts :D I want to see what I can use my credits on!

[@WarandNews]

Please do a video on how to redeem this $200 credit and your analysis on Vegas

[@gotrr]

Thank you, Sebby. You helped me make up my mind on which Amex to get. You gave me great ideas on maximizing the benefits of the Platinum card. And, if I don't like it after a year, I'll just do a product change. Great video!

[@garfieldbennett4140]

Thanks Sebby! Love the AMEX platinum, yes lounge Access is my fav too. Unfortunately, I do not use an air fryer

[@nicoleilechie3789]

Sebby, your video's are so helpful my guy!

[@QuickQuips]

8:30 - Breville Air. It's a superb convection oven, toaster, and air fryer. It doesn't make sense to have only a single purpose device in the kitchen besides fire extinguishers.

[@normanacupan4344]

Yes yes more on FHR in Vegas. Mahalos Sebby!

[@patricks6732]

The $200 airline credit was beneficial in when I cancelled a flight it picked up the price difference when I rebooked and the fare was higher on Delta.

[@mrs.mcginnis2987]

Thanks Sebby!

[@MannyCovington]

Definitely will be having this card one day!

[@Wire-Free]

Wow, you broke it down legit Sebby; thanks! I'm also interested in the Las Vegas hotels discounted details please.

[@melissamorello6234]

I’d like to hear more about the FHR options in the US or Caribbean that are not insanely expensive! Also, I love my Breville Smart Oven airfryer…just about everything tastes better in it and cooks in half the time. It also doubles as a regular countertop oven.

[@antoineboumitri573]

Sebby, if you haven't yet could you do a video for the FHR of Las Vegas with AmexPlat? I go to Vegas often and would to see what you can share with us Vegas regulars....great video!

[@aksddd4385]

Yes dude do a video on the Vegas fine hotels and resorts ✌🏾

[@georgesarraf8177]

Just received my platinum in the mail - thank you for this

[@LukesHumanFactor]

Great video, please do consider that FHR and hotel credit options... Thank you Sebby

[@gizzzmo5796]

Regarding Air-Fryers... I would steer clear of the round drawer-types and go for a multi-tasker toaster oven with an air-fry setting. I currently have the Cuisinart® Air Fryer Toaster Oven and it gets used quite often. I only cook for myself and I don't think I've turned on my big oven in over a year.

[@jezrix7257]

Nice mate. Can you do a video (if you haven’t already) on the Platinum benefits for additional card holders. It’s really hard to navigate on the AMEX website. Thanks!

[@itsplaytime9976]

For additonal cards on a Platinum card, theres 2 options, Gold on ur Platinum(no fee) or addtl Platinum card on a Platinum for a fee of $175/ yr for the first 3 addtl cards on the acct. So benefit depends on what card u are adding..🙂

[@rogeliozamora3984]

Definitely used our $50 Saks credit on a Caso air fryer. Love it. Build quality is 7/10 compared to other air fryers I’ve seen. Cooks very well but the sensor is a bit sensitive and faulty, basket has to be readjusted or re-closed regularly before it turns on.

[@gideonfloyd7366]

I have the Power XL air fryer. Definitely worth it is have been cooking with it for months. Good buy!

[@razeksi]

I’m glad I watch this didn’t know about the United clear discount

[@walterlopez151]

Thanks for the time and spesific

[@MrDjconquest]

Just got mine approved, awaiting the card arrival, but due have the blue card also. So now all purchases are covered for cash back. Your the reason i got both cards, thanks Sebby

[@Buffalo_B1LLS]

Would like to hear about the FHR experiences too!

[@isastevem]

Love your videos! Keep up the great work!

[@dude4173]

The shark analogy and surf shark commercial 🤣. I actually laughed out loud.

[@Swordyfiish]

I love my Instant Vortex Plus :) (same brand as instant pot) only annoying part is the little rubberized parts of the grid thing are annoying to clean but I only do a deeper clean like that once a week

[@jackadams8299]

Bro you helped me understand my benefits a lot better than the Amex rep, subbed 👍

[@genemachin3]

gifted a gowise usa air fryer from my SIL, it does a great job of heating up frozen nuggets/dumplings (if you don't want boiled/panfried)/leftover fried chix/pork chops, and it's even great for reheating thicker slices of pizza (sicilian/detroit style)

[@esfamilykitchen2058]

Good info. Thank you.

[@kmmoreno]

I visited Guadalajara for a week in August and the Platinum Fine Hotels came in great!! We stayed 3 nights at the NH Hotel Providencia which ranks as one of the Top 10 Hotels in Guadalajara. Amazing views and with the AMEX Fine Hotel Specials we got the third night free, AND a $100 hotel credit. We then moved across town to the Hotel 1970 Posada, another Fine Hotels Member, and got the same promo, but at this location, we got the $200 credit as well, which made this hotel stay a mere $100! The $100 Hotel credit came in great for breakfast and a nightcap.

[@bankofbryan7917]

I'd like to hear about the Vegas FHR. Especially the $100 experience credit? If thats what it's called... Thanks Sebby!

[@jefuryo]

Just used it for NoMad. AMEX paid the whole trip, a $168 value for the hotel plus all the FHR benefits!

[@butchdoty]

@@jefuryo were you able to get Mlife TC from the stay? I did the FHR also at the Nomad for October, but I’m really close to getting MLife Gold and don’t want to lose out on that status

I recommend the Kalorik 26 quart Digital Maxx air fryer Oven. powerhouse that’s an air fryer, oven, grill, toaster, roaster, rotisserie, pizza oven, broiler, and slow cooker in one. 🏅

[@ingridm4910]

Please do a review on the Fine Hotels and Resorts and let us know what you find! I’m noticing there are some black out dates like in vegas where no hotels are available on a certain date that are even a few months out

[@johnzhen6166]

In regards to the Air Fryer, I have the Ninja 4qt Air Fryer. Dude its the best. You can make some really good Char Siu with the fryer. It is also just an easy go to when you wanna make quick protein meals. I barely use my oven anymore when I just need to preheat the air fryer for 3 minutes. It's a good buy for sure!

I have had my POWER XL AIR FRYER's . Yes I own two FOR 3 YEARS.. I had to replace the basket once for one only because I washed it incorrectly . Easy fix for $20. I cook just about every day with it. Grilled salmon is the best then wingettes w/0ut flour. Enjoy when you get one

[@guitarman1234567891]

I used the $200 hotel credit at the Ritz Carlton. Paid $500 for the room, $200 was credited to my account, will get $100 resort credit for food, spa, etc. Great perk!!

[@ChristopherWalkenPUA]

Could you do a FHR video for the best international places to stay with the $200 credit?

[@justinruizcgcs]

I picked up the schwab platinum earlier this year which gave me 2 platinum cards for the year and I completely missed the 2 night minimum and signed up for one night at two different FHR hotels on consecutive nights for the property bonus. Two days after the charge cleared they credited both cards. Maybe there is a minimum spend? They were both a little over 300 per night. I was expecting the credit but then after watching this video I was reminded it was for a 2 night stay? I guess I got lucky. Two 5 star resorts for about 100 a night is a good deal and I will get the property credit at each.

[@greenlion6544]

I travel a lot for work. Unfortunately, I have to pay via company card. However, I do get the priority pass and other stuff for free like TSA Pre Check.

[@freshempire8057]

[@andresramos9207]

Sebby, can you do a video on changing or cancelling flights that were booked with award miles? I have looked thru the Delta website and the policies there do not specifically deal with trips booked with miles. I have 2 international flights booked and I am constantly getting changes to the flights which both have multiple stops. What happens to my miles if I decide to cancel the flights? Is there a "restocking fee"? I think this video would be very helpful in light of the rising number of COVID cases we are now seeing.

[@JDelta87]

I had a Ninja air fryer and miss it. Needed a bigger one and was a gifted an Emerald Chef one. It’s nice but it beeps with every single input so your late night cooking won’t go unnoticed 😂

[@simoncquach]

The Ninja air fryer/indoor grill is great.

[@Davidsworldtravels]

I love my air fryer. I put in chicken wings, turkey bacon, etc while I’m working and it just cooks it automatically. It’s the closest thing to a robot chef that you can get for a hundred bucks.

yes do Vegas. LIke Ninja airfryer, but didn't get it, trying to do minimalism. Like lounge access and saks credit.

Centurion lounge access is my favorite one.
