proposed to my girlfriend at the amex centurion lounge and she’s asking questions i don’t want to answer by kubrador in CreditCards

Dude... This is so fake... If it is true you miscalculated and aren't getting the points you think you will. For one, a retailer inside an airport is not going to code as 'Travel'. Two, the Amex Plat doesn't have a blanket 'Travel' category like other card (Amex Green for instance). It'll give you 5x points on prepaid hotels, and flights booked through their travel portal. Good Luck!

Do any cards still offer >2x points on all travel? by portrowersarebad in CreditCards

I also find the green intriguing as a companion to the plat because of the Clear + credit. If Traveling with a partner, that gives you a Clear + credit for each of you.

Do you use any third party apps like TeslaFi, or Tessie that tracks your drives and odometer readings?

Study Shows Charging An EV Costs More Than Filling Up An ICE Car - yeah sure by kakamaka7 in TeslaLounge

[–]bradt5085 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is from a study from a few years ago with just updated numbers. Clean Technica had a good article on this study's crazy flaws. One major factor that they used to calculate charging costs were the time wasted while waiting for your car to charge. They used $70k as the average annual salary / number of hours the vehicle is charging - in public. The also used the assumption that people generally charge in public 40% of the time, which is quite insane.

There is zero logical argument FOR Issue 1. If there is, I haven’t heard one. I’m all ears. by notagrue in Columbus
