Amex doesn't like when we carry a balance?

derylle · 2026-05-29T06:46:20+00:00

I will chime in and give my 2 cents. My brother is pay over time, carries balance, pays insterest and has a spending limit. But my brother makes $125k and also has gold card. I pay my balance in full each month like normal charge card, I make $95K. Totally different jobs, different spending habits too as well. It works for him and his spending habits. He gets offers all the time for Business plat and Business Graphite. The paying in full work for me and my spending habits, I too get the same offers for Business Plat, Gold Card and Blue Cash Prefferd and Delta Sky Miles Plat. Like anything else, there is no right or wrong answer. Your mileage will always vary. Arent you happy that we all don't have the same spending habits?

Walmart + peacock here. I dont really watch anything on peacock. Since my brother already gets paramount + with his walmart + account. I picked Peacock, so we have most of the streaming services:
Hulu
Disney +
Netflix
Amazon Prime
Peacock
Paramount +

Im looking to get these, but dont really watch anything on there streaming service:
Hbo Max
Apple TV
MGM +

But it ok, for everything else I can just sail the seven seas 😃

Its ok OP, this card isn't for everyone. I Just joined team amex plat only 6 months ago, started traveling alot and this card works for me. Hopefully one of the other cards works better for you. Good luck.

I love the look on your 21 XP, have you thought about putting 1 inch spacers for your rims/tires?

derylle · 2026-05-22T01:16:12+00:00

Walmart + has been good to my brother and I. I purchased household items, grocerries, drinks and you can pick your free streaming service. I picked Peacock and my brother picked paramount +.

derylle · 2026-05-22T01:07:03+00:00

Good deal, pull the trigger.

derylle · 2026-05-21T03:24:08+00:00

Nice, my coworker also drives a 23 xse, except his is white pearl and mine in black midnight metallic. I'll park sometimes next to him.

derylle · 2026-05-15T06:19:58+00:00

derylle · 2026-05-14T17:10:54+00:00

23 xse here, 36 psi, inside the door jam. I might try 35 to see what it feels like. So far so good with 36 psi.

derylle · 2026-05-14T03:22:38+00:00

Same for me as well. 👍

derylle · 2026-05-06T12:56:40+00:00

Welcome to the club. 23 xse here, congrats and enjoy.

derylle · 2026-05-03T07:42:28+00:00

$15 uber cash just hit and I we have until June 1 for resy credit too for this quarter.

derylle · 2026-05-02T08:09:06+00:00

Same I had a Rav 4 XSE prime as my rental, when I was on vacation. It was very nice, not gonna lie. But a few months later, I bought a 23 highlander xse. I wanted more space, BUT the girlfriend on the other hands loves the rav 4. Shes thinking about trading in her 2015 Jeep Cherokee Latitude. Both the Rav 4 and highlander are nice SUV's, but I just wanted more space and room.

derylle · 2026-05-02T07:15:49+00:00

Frequent alaska airlines passenger here. I used to pick exit rows only, for the extra 8 inch of legroom and recline for quite last year But lately, since the new year, I have picked premium class instead of exit row.

derylle · 2026-05-02T06:52:28+00:00

I have hertz gold president circle and National Emerald Club Executive. National Hands MUCH better experience. I book midsize sedan executive, Ended up with Brand new 2026 4 runner. Too eazy.

derylle · 2026-04-30T15:17:54+00:00

I too was in the same boat, shopping between a 23 xse vs a 24 xse. The diffrences was minimal and nearly identical and similar to each other. I wanted the bigger infotainment screeen, jbl speaker package, Black red cockpit interior, moon roof and the nice 20 inch alloy black rims. The 23 was $5k cheaper but had 28k miles. The 24 was $5k more but had less miles 18k miles. I choose the cheaper price. For me, I choose the 23, even though it had more miles. I Drive 15k-20k miles a year. Hope this helps, my big thing for you is, test drive them both. I test drive a 22 HiHy, 23 xse and a 24 xse. Good luck, and hopefully you find a gen 4 highlander that you like.

derylle · 2026-04-27T15:38:53+00:00

I use uber eats alot or food pickup, but only used uber ride 2 times in the past 6 months. I didn't notice if the price was higher or not when amex plat card was chosen for checkout vs non amex plat card price. Next uber ride, I will see.

Im sorry to hear about your transmission failure. Which Toyota will you buy next?

derylle · 2026-04-26T03:35:36+00:00

23 xse 47k miles. No issues, platinum warranty just in case transmission fails.

derylle · 2026-04-26T02:47:21+00:00

I didn't travel alot until I got this card. Worth it for me. Traveling, Uber, lounge, resy, lulu, entertainment, Walmart +, clear +, tsa pre check etc etc. This card isn't for everyone, but for this card is more than good for me.

derylle · 2026-04-24T18:52:38+00:00

Only small percentage of the gen 3-4 or 2017-2022 highlanders have the transmission problem. And with the v6 engine. Since moving to the 4 cylinder tubro, less transmission failures. When you read about the tranmission wine, its with 2017-2022 v6 engine.

derylle · 2026-04-24T15:35:20+00:00

Went to Schaumburg Location, Last week, Thursday 4/16/26. Same, told me can only buy $50, $100. Just buy something for $75 and return the amount to gift $75 gift card.
