True Story: I was 21 years old. Still a college student making 12K per year but I had a good credit score. I was able to get an AmEx Platinum. Only one time, someone told me that I was too young to have that card. Besides that, no one has ever been impressed.

​@@johnsonwI'd get rid of the Platinum if you're paying the AF. Unless you do ridiculous amounts of travel as an 18yo college student, it's hard to justify the Platinum, even though the dining credits and other benefits are nice here and there. I was approved for both the Platinum and the Gold but opted to just go for the AmEx Gold because of the AF and cashback. Just my two cents. Hope you have a great day! ❤

20 years ago I was really into the "Flexing" element, now that I'm older I'm much more excited about how some of these cards give you ACCESS to things I wouldn't normally do (I just stayed at the Bellagio for the first time ever due to the Platinum card's benefits there). I don't have the Black Card and probably never will (I've told myself I would only get it if I had 10 million in the bank, I'm 9.8 million short). Ironically between the cards me and my girlfriend now have we get so many of the Black Card benefits that it's kinda hard now for me to see as much reason to get a black card, I actually have the same or higher status's now on many hotels, and of course the other cards give greater cash back then the 1% the black gives you on most things.

@@BrandenJerrell i completely agree with you too. I’m tempted to start using my chase card because I almost never use the benefits from Amex.

Plus the lounges suck, the regular terminals are better right now.

Chase is more restrictive because of their rules on how many cards you can have. In a certain time period and only being able to have 1 Sapphire card at a time. I prefer the Platinum over the CSR but I can understand why some people may feel the opposite. As for the Centurion lounges, they stay away to crowded and I'm glad that they are going to restrict them to the card holder and all guest have to pay starting in Feb. I usually use my Platinum to get into the Delta SkyClub or the Admirals Club if I'm flying First or Business Class On American Airlines 🫡
@g43654
@g43654 Жыл бұрын
I think it's a mix of different reasons: 1. The opening of borders, especially China's. 2. Even some lower tier cards offer 2 x complimentary lounge access a year, and I think most people are using them for the first time after the pandemic or on the start of a new year cycle. 3. In Australia, guests can still accompany a card holder for free. I heard Amex USA will start charging guests and kids from next month, but it's not clear if that's going to be the same for other countries.

The reason people have these cards is to do with status among their social group. I have known someone who dropped 130k on their platinum card paying a single invoice for a storage company. They called Amex before hand and Amex said “no problem and by the way you don’t need to call.” Point is, if you have the centurion it’s for status. And more power to you. It can’t DO anything more in YOUR HAND than the platinum card can. There are platinum card holders with 2.5m limits walking around and couldn’t care less.
@roachtoasties
@roachtoasties Жыл бұрын
Whatever makes you happy. But really, most of the time when you make a purchase your card doesn't even leave you. You put the card in the terminal yourself. Employees are thus less able to notice you're some big shot. Even if you did pass the card to them, most don't care. If one is living their life trying to impress others with their fancy-pants credit card, maybe you need a reset. I've worked in restaurants and stores in the past. Every customer is important. It's not just the rich guy that you stand up and give good customer service, it's everyone. I'm kind of a private person. Even if I was Joe Billionaire, I wouldn't go around flaunting my wealth.

The Gold card is one of the best cards I think they offer. I like the 4 points on restaurants and 4 points on groceries. There are also a lot of other benefits that allows you to cover the annual fee. I like having a platinum for access to the lounges when I travel, but I still think the AMEX gold is one of, if not the best card they offer. Sometimes I think people with a brain, when I hand over my platinum card, still think something like "this guy is an idiot to pay $695 a year for a charge card." LOL I really want to keep my ego out of what credit cards I use and have. Just one man's opinions.

I got my Gold and Platinum when I was 20 in college and honestly at the time a lot of my friends thought that I was in it for the “status”, the cards are cool and all but I mostly got them because. #1 I ate a lot outside of home and started grocery shopping at the time in college too, #2 my major told us we were going to do a lot of traveling, and in between I did my own travels so it kind of was a no brainer. Did see some benefits of the card to somewhat justify the annual fee. But I don’t think I’ve yet to gotten reactions from stores nor do I think I want them cause it makes me uncomfortable haha

This video got a chuckle out of me. I worked in a medium size town in Texas (a little over half a million people) for 11 years. Working customer service at the front desk, I saw a LOT of platinum AmEx cards. I find it strange that many say they've never seen the black Centurion card. I've seen a total of THREE of those. One customer was American, another was British and the third was South African. The card is so thick that I couldn't swipe it through the computer's card reader. I had to connect a different one to the computer to complete the sale! It is very thick and HEAVY. And yes, according to the South African, it does set off the metal detectors at airports!

This is stupid. "Respect" from the retailer??? The only thing they care about is it not being declined. They'd be just as happy to charge a Discover card if it goes through OK.

It's not the same any more from what I seen over the many years. Could be in las vegas checking in and hand them the Centurion and get crazy upgrades with out asking or doing anything. As years went on just keep seeing less. Then when JPM banker told me about the palladium card got it right away, was told customers had to have x money in personal business and or both along with investments counted too. Did a video that did't do good job on was one the first showing off the card other than a friend did video as well. The palladium card seem to get more reaction and few extras places would do but on the concierge service was nice just could not do as crazy as amex could. Nice part of it was you could use 3x the limit and one part some might still not know is could request from the banker a very high amount to buy something for short term and depending on the relationship time as well money with them they do a lot. More less they rather you borrow vs take the cash or investments out. All in all they are all nice just not what it use to be. Not sure what any of them could do next to gain that hype/effect.

I have the AmEx Platinum and the Centurion card. Rarely use the Centurion but use my Platinum more often. Had few reactions of people while traveling in Africa and now in Maldives. Don’t care about the flexing part since I have only used my Centurion card only a few times. Also use my other cards as well.

I’ve had the Centurion Card form the first year it was released. In the very early days, it garnered some attention. These days none. And with Apple Wallet, I rarely use physical cards anyway. It never garnered attention where I’ve had my primary home - Manhattan. Once I got a reaction from a hotel in Ohio lol So truly not sure where you are that you are getting these reactions. I’ve used it in all the boutiques you mention - no one cares.

The Centurion club is invitation only to become a member. So it’s his recommendations to Amex until they finally get it. $10,000 activation fee and another $5,000 annual fee. Your Amex Platinum already has so many of the black card benefits. The black card makes people sit up more and provide a way more attentive service lol
