Yep but only 75k MR pts. Can also do the gold card for 60k MR + up to $250 in restaurant statement credit. Both thru Resy. Opted for the 100k + 10% back since it’s much easier to just get the up front points. Credit shifu broke this down in his video pretty good

I enjoy your channel. By the way. I just used my Amex Platinum for travel. They arranged my travel from Guam to US mainland. They actually got me cheaper flight and insane rate on car rental for 6 weeks. Savings they gave me was worth the yearly fee. By the way, I did use the Centurian Lounge, glad they are opening up along with priority passes. I also used Airline credit for wifi, economy upgrade to premium, and baggage.

As an economy/cashback player it's hard to make the Amex plunge. My goal would definitely be the Schwab cashout option but it's a very long game to play with a lot of upfront investment. Not to mention you have to have faith that by the time you're done that cashout option will still be available. I do see how this is great for aspiration travel.

If you get approved for the card and it’s your first time getting the card but don’t get the bonus because either you aren’t eligible either due to the pop up or can’t hit the spend, if you get the card in a few years would you be able to get the bonus? Also what if down the road you get the business platinum instead would that change things? Thank you !

Generally 6 months is fine. BCE/BCP only makes sense if you're squarely on #teamcashback. If that's true, I also wouldn't "rush" to Amex. Tons of low hanging fruit offers w/ other issuers. TONS of people get the "no bonus popup" due to low spend on the BCE/BCP they got to "get their foot in the door w/ Amex" -- make sure you have decent spend on it long-term.

I think AMEX's strategy is to have people pay the $550 upfront since the annual fee is included on the first monthly bill. I don't see countries fully opening up until late 2021. Hence you would possibly be paying $1100 by end of next year to hold the points and not even use the travel benefits 😂. I'd plan to open the once-per-lifetime points bonus later rather than "anticipating" to travel

Any MR holding card would do such as the no annual fee BBP card. So no, don't have to pay $1100.

Literally my exact thinking! I feel like I get the best value with the Plat IF I’m actually traveling. Lol The Uber credits don’t move the needle for us because we have DoorDash free with chase. And so basically I feel like I should just wait a year, save 550$ , garden my credit, and then apply with the next 100k offer. Lol a year from now I guarantee you they will still need to incentivize people to travel.

I was offered the 100k plus 10x on gas on grocery and a spend of 5k in 6 months if I upgrade from gold to platinum. Should I wait for the 125k or is it not worth it?

I would probably keep trying CardMatch but be ready to pull the trigger if we see a "deadline" pop up for the card. I'm guessing we have 1 month at a minimum.

What’s a better intro offer for the platinum card: 85k MR points + $150 annual statement credit (for every year I keep my Amex corporate card) or 125k MR points?

Saw a tiktok post about these crazy Amex deals and I always wanted to get the platinum so I applied last night and got approved for 125k! I was pretty excited to say the least. Now I gotta find the best way to spend the points to go to Paris for a vacay! Been watching video for awhile Sebby keep it up 👍

Generally yes. Depends on how it's coded on the car insurance end. i.e., AliExpress is coded as a financial institution = cash advance.

I was able to snag the 100k offer from them using DuckDuckGo browser and a Wifi that I never signed into before at work. Not sure what I’ll do after the first year tho! The gold card is probably more my style but I couldn’t give up on 100k points.

Those aren't generally considered grocery stores. No public resource for Amex but generally Visa's works the same: www.visa.com/supplierlocator-app/app/#/home/supplier-locator Normal Walmart / Target are 5310 = Discount stores / warehouse / wholesale Walmart Superstore might be 5411 = grocery stores / supermarkets / bakeries Check for your area or run a card and see how it codes = best way.

I have 3 trips planned for next year and have taken advantage of this 100k offer! I believe this first year will give me a lot of value. After that, I will have to re-evaluate:). This is a card that I have always wanted but couldn't really justify the $550 annual fee. I don't use uber much so I will def use it for Uber eats. I do hope that Trader Joes is on their supermarket list.
