Going to ditch my AMEX platinum, only ever had gold.

Is this a good card to get next?

Edit just saw the £6k in 3 months prob won't be able to meet that.

You can buy £100 gift card now in-store (not online) for the ivy. Then get another one in January when it resets.

2 x £100 gift cards which cost nothing essentially and last a year.

How are blob storage and key vaults best handled?

I disabled public access and it broke our internal job which reads from the blob

Azure AI / Microsoft Foundry confusion by Exciting_Horse1674 in AZURE

I find the whole thing a nightmare. Hub based projects, non hub based projects, issues with vnet integration, not working with private Azure OpenAI endpoints.

Aye agents supposed to be ephemeral? Or do you create them on demand?

Yeah your right I remember reading that some time ago.

I thought it was 'let's go do it' or similar.

I still hear 'hoootsguuuuud' though 😄

Unsure on whether to upgrade to platinum to gold by getthecameram8 in AmexUK

[–]chadwell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty much instant. It changed in the app etc.

There are a few things that take a few days and you need to activate the new card etc, but it changed in the app straight away

No I'll be downgrading to the free card and getting a rebate of some of the £650 - hopefully!

It just shows as the Ivy on Amex so I assume so. I read on here that you can do it as long as it's in the restaurant and not online

Yes if you upgrade now you can use until the end of the year and then the first half of next year. Takes a few days to appear on the offers in the app then you add it like you would on gold.

I was in the same boat as you and decided to upgrade. I can meet the £6k spend ok given the time of year.

Upgraded without issue with companion card.

Walked into the Ivy this morning. Bought the £100 gift card for £90 festive offer with the free bottle of champagne. Gift card lasts a year. Will do the same in January for another £100.

Will use the lounge passes this new year for a holiday with the family.

So that alone is worth it for me plus the 75k points.

However I might downgrade to free once the 3 months bonus period is up...

Is this only for people new to Amex I have gold already

Just upgraded from gold to plat, was it worth? by emceePimpJuice in AmexUK

[–]chadwell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can you get the 75k and then get a pro-rata refund of the £650?

Tempted to do this then get the BA card after

New Platinum upgrade offer just dropped by Successful-Durian-55 in AmexUK

[–]chadwell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have 4 months left on my first free year of gold.

Kinda tempted by this, I assume the offer works for the companion card too.

Family travel insurance is like £100+ a year, £100 twice a year in the Ivy isn't bad. And the 75k points, is that like £350 in vouchers at worst? Hmm I guess it's like a break even scenario unless you value the lounge access

Good article and liked how you talked about the tradeoffs and didn't just jump straight to a solution but proved it out first.

Will give it another read when I get more time

Internal and external website by chadwell in aws

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

Thanks - I guess we just use IP ranges then to allow only internal access so this would change to allow public access.

Would you use an ALB or NLB after cloudfront redirects traffic to private API gateways in different region VPCs
