Airport lounges are legit. I've only done them a few times but it's always a nice way to start a trip, especially if it's a long flight or if you have a medium-length transit between two flights, because most of them have showers.

Stuff like Prioritypass or Dragonpass is awesome if you travel enough for it to be worth it. Otherwise I just buy single passes directly or via sites like Loungebuddy

Weird gimmick. Stick to the one where you lie about vacationing in another country.

I need to get on that Platinum card. If youre in the military they even waive the yearly fee. Which is a couple hundred a year if Im not mistaken.

I just got a Platinum card invite in the mail today! I have had their gold card and blue cash everyday cards for a while, so this will be a nice upgrade.

I hate the prestige creep nonsense.

AMEX green was a little bit premium. Amex gold was premium as fuck.

Amex was so premium that the Batman movie (1989) had the thugs cracked a joke saying that they just mugged someone with an Amex.

Amex good was back then what the platinum is. Platinum back then was closer to what the centurion is now than to what Amex plat is.

In 20 years you will see 20 year old CEmen with centurion cards and if you have a platinum youre poor

I've thought of getting a Gold card. What are the actual benefits of using that? I've been using a Discover it card mostly.

I hear you. My credit is great and I make good money but the prestige of their top cards must have dropped if I got offered one lol. Maybe I'm selling myself a little short but I can't help but feel I'm not at the level I always assumed their top tier card holders are at.

Platinum isn't top. Black/Centurion is. That's a MASSIVE step above Platinum.

I'm aware of the Centurion. I'm just saying the Platinum is in that top tier, a cut above their entry level and other offerings.

This is the new top prestige card, unless you want to include cards for millionaires (e.g. J.P. Morgan Palladium/Reserve, Amex Centurion, etc)

right now its kinda meh. 100 airline credit. 2x at restaurants and grocery stores and gas stations. 1x on everything else. transfer to airline partners. thats about it. its okay, but not great. $195 a year annual fee.

BUT in about 3 days its supposed to get a revamp.

same annual fee but now with a 100 airline credit, and a new 120 food credit at select restaurants/grubhub, and a whopping 4x at restaurants and grocery stores!!!

and its gonna be metal!

The travel rewards are nice, and there isn't a credit limit which has come in handy a few times when making large purchases for my business.

I don't pay interest on any purchase if I pay it off in 9 months (then a low, flat rate) and have a 13k limit.

What is that the equivalent to in terms of platinum?

How do you get so many points to take so many trips? Like it feels like you talk about another trip all the time.

three words: sign up bonuses

For my new Japan Trip i did the following

got the American Express Premier Rewards Gold card: 50,000 points sign up bonus
my girlfriend got the American Express Everyday Card 25000 points
then i just got 5k points from normal spending and earning.

Transferred them to All Nippon Airways for a total of 80,000 ANA points. used them to book 2 round trip flights for 80k points, and 500 dollars (a normal trip to japan will cost 1000+ round trip on cheaper airlines. ANA is selling the same flight for a whopping 2300 dollars round trip per person)

for the hotel: i got the Citi ThankYou Premier card for 50,000 points. I used its 1.25 cents per point redemption to book a week's worth of hotel in tokyo.

then, im using my SPG American Express card to book a 2 night stay at a luxury 5 star hotel in tokyo. every year, they get a free night certificate. the card costs 95 dollars a year, but the hotel room im booking costs 300 dollars per night. 200 in value right there.
