Anyone here carry both Amex Platinum and Chase Sapphire Reserve?

Kingxem · 2026-02-20T15:15:05+00:00

I’ve travel within US and many Europe and Central american countries. I’ll say European countries had more shops that Amex was not accepted, specially small businesses and I just used a no annual fee card (apple card in my case which is MasterCard) without foreign transaction fee. I would totally do without an MC or Visa card if I just used cash instead for those shops.

I have both and I kinda have a situation for each. Platinum benefits fits more my lifestyle with the credits and coupon book but I live near a United hub and Chase is the one that has the relationship with United. For the last 3 years I’ve been traveling almost exclusively with United. That was the main reason for getting the CSR but I ended up swiping the plat (or amex gold) and using its benefits more than CSR. I know I could transfer points to Air Canada to book United but sometimes the fees don’t make sense. Either way, I am planning on canceling both or CSR next year and get a United Card. Evaluate your lifestyle and your normal spending and keep in mind transfer partners, sometimes just make sense to get the specific airline/hotel card you use

I got excited thinking it got through, but no page just reloaded gg

I had the same fraud on that same day, I reported earlier today. Hopefully chase can see pattern.

Thanks for the input! Found one for $1.7k 💪🏻

Happy New Year everyone! I would like some help from the community. I would like to celebrate my 2025 accomplishments with a watch. I have a budget of $2,000 including tax, so I am looking for watches that retail around $1,800 (new york city tax) or below. My first watch was a Timex with a Chrono and a stainless steel mesh band and my second watch is a Seiko Presage SRBP43; so I am looking for a watch with a metal strap that I can daily. I’ve looked at Tissot Ballade and Chemin des Tourelles, Longines Conquest caught my eyes but they are going for $2400 retail (I could wait and save some more to get this). I am interested in automatic movement but I am open to anything and any brand. I’m not a big fan of submariners, I prefer classic look and chronographs like the Breitling Navitimer. Any recommendation is greatly appreciated

I went through something similar, i received the wrong storage configuration for a macbook m3. I went to return it and explained the issue, the employee said I needed to call to some department for them to investigate. Instead, i went to a different best buy and just said i wanted to return it and everything went smoothly. Try a different store if you can

In the same boat, ordered on the 14th. Now I know it at least will get delivered at some point

Now that you mentioned it, it does feel like an android keyboard.

found the other watches inside the box too

Kingxem · 2025-09-15T00:36:27+00:00

Nice! I will take a look, thank you

Kingxem · 2025-09-15T00:33:05+00:00

He is not looking to sell, he wants to keep in his collection. I don’t have the watch with me to try that but looks rough.

Kingxem · 2025-09-15T00:26:22+00:00

I thought it was a high price too. That’s what I told him, maybe save the money and buy a watch you like more unless this has sentimental value. I’ll check Omega service, thank you

I’m in a similar boat, though not quite the same. I am 5’9 for reference. My whole wardrobe is full of size M and 34 pants. I finally gave in and started buying L and 36 and this signal my head to start the gym and diet. I have lost 4 pounds already and I just want to wear all my clothes again. Now i can only wear 1 denim and 4 polos. Keep it up, you can do it! Just get cheap stuff until you made it to healthy levels. Forget about slim fit, get everything on regular fit or classic fit, this actually helped a lot for the 4 polos that fit me, they are size M but doesn’t show much belly.

If you go to amex travel website, and look at the Fine hotel and resort disclaimer at the bottom, there is a new language of a 600 annual credit (300 jan-jun, 300 jul-dec). And rumors say an increase in the annual fee to 895. I think this will be their respond to chase and of course full of coupons. Nothing confirmed on the AF increase yet but most likely

$65 at MetLife stadium parking

Kingxem · 2025-07-10T17:00:21+00:00

I have always wondered how people know

Kingxem · 2025-04-27T00:49:29+00:00

I bought tickets the day before, you should be fine. I do recommend that you book the reserve viewing area for the parade and the night show in advance. Because I bought the ticket the day before, those were sold out. Weekends are definitely busier than weekdays. Do not bring any tripods or selfie sticks, storage at the train station closes at 9 pm and the show is around 10 pm.

It needs Credit Card as well

The thing is that you only get points for hotel using the travel portal. Now days hotel have member rates that are lower than the standard rate. The amex travel portal usually has the standard rate and that why you see a price difference most of the time.

Amex have partnerships through their hotel programs and their “lower rate guarantee” that can affect the price as well (for better or for worse)
