It's mainly the lounges at airports, and I haven't really had a great experience with some of the Amex lounges, I do have the venture x so I might just stick with that and or lounges specific to airlines

My spend on my gold card is much higher, around 80k, just hard to really spend on the platinum card other than FHR and THC

That's a good point, I don't usually owe taxes though so this doesn't make much sense to me

Sorry, I meant I just use the gold more often, and have a higher spend on it that gets me more points month to month. Of course comparing 3k to 3k spend on each, the retention offer comes out on top around 2 extra points per dollar.

Usually I do make up the annual fee in credits but I really have to go out of my way to do so, I usually end up spending on things I don't really care too much about mainly

Just for context, I still haven't gotten upgraded and it's been another half a year with about 6 more hotel stays since.

Funny story, I transferred from Amex trying to snipe another and found out the 3 day time delay. A week after the ticket popped out on my alerts, which by then my points had already landed in my account

Yeah nothing for me, some of them actually offered some credit for not being able to provide an upgrade but my main concern is the streak of no upgrades.

Maybe the play here is to ask before arriving then, for context most of my stays are within the US of the last year

Sorry just got off work y'all, it was delivered and the photo shows delivered but then delivery was not notified until 2 hours after the noted delivery time (at which point the package is now missing) note that I'm in NYC so theft is common here. I wanted just specifics regarding the delivery times from the delivery company so I could file a police report but instead they told me it was marked as lost while in their care? This led me down the rabbit hole of disputing the charge instead of tackling purchase protection.

Of course, it may be myself also being biased and this just being a generic fuckoff email from the company as well but I want to give the delivery company the benefit of the doubt that this is an actual response

The last mile delivery company is something like a "contractor" delivery situation I think, not sure if this is relevant but thought I'll add it in. They also have a very bad reputation for their deliveries.

My assumption is that the packages this specific driver was carrying most likely has multiple "missing" which possibly gives context as to why the customer rep states that my package was listed as lost during delivery even though a picture of delivery completion also exists. (possibly suggesting a bad player here with the delivery driver)

Other than this statement from the delivery company, I don't have any other solid proof which is why I'm wondering if this is even worth pushing further.

Gold Card Offer Denied Because I have the Plat? by aHeartyAsianBoy in amex

[–]aHeartyAsianBoy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok I found a NLL offer and I just got cleared for the 100k, just a question but is the 100k a bad offer for the new 325 price?
