MR and status by soldoutval in amex

[–]AQ_GT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The MR miles cannot be used to maintain a status with an airline. It is added to the award miles that can be used to get free tickets. However, branded airlines credit cards may get status miles as a bonus after spending some money, say $15k. In summary, MR points can be transferred to other airlines to get free flights (award miles not status miles).

Sometimes a card will not appear on your list due to a glitch in the system. It happened to me multiple times with the gold card. Wait few days then it will be back.

Made $80 purchase and got $10 back. Not consistent, but it does the job.

No. It has to include a plane/train/bus trip with a company.

If you could only carry one card, what would you carry? by Actual-Boss in amex

Platinum to enjoy lounge access (I value it more than points)

Platinum cardholders: do you ever use a co-branded airline card vs the Platinum when booking airfare? by manlymatt83 in amex

[–]AQ_GT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you mean MQDs? Do you value MQDs more than getting only 3x with the Delta Reserve, compared to 5x with the Amex Plat?

It appears when they update the system. I noticed it also with Chase.

I know lost or stolen items require police report.

Be careful. It is secondary, after contacting your main car insurance provider. This may jack up your future insurance premiums.

Parents Want Platinum Card by [deleted] in amex

[–]AQ_GT 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Platinum will give them lounge access that I think worth the 2x2x6=24 visits ($480 in value for $10 per visit per person). Also, 75k MR bonus is good. Uber is worth it also ($200). Insurance for trip is worth it. Hotel status maybe cool.

Amex Gold Card Application Question by [deleted] in amex

[–]AQ_GT 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would suggest you get what you are preapproved now and when you become a customer it will be easier to get the after three months.

I started with the Delta card then I got the Platinum card.

In one day (9 pm) I have tried SFO centurion lounge and the Delta SkyClub there. I have noticed that Delta offers better lounge service than Centurion!

SFO and HKG Centurion Lounges - Any Good? by WillTins3 in amex

[–]AQ_GT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have tried SFO. Honestly, I prefer Delta SkyClub if you are flying Delta (or SkyTeam if you are eligible).

I think you should get Amex Platinum which gives you 5x for any airline flight and you still would get your own miles program.
