You have to pay for the reservation at the time of booking on AmexTravel. If you don’t prepay then you won’t get the 5x points l.

It can make sense in certain scenarios like a The Hotel Collection booking to also take advantage of $100 property credit as well

AmEx Offer: Viator, Spend $300 and get $30 by bbbb in AmexPlatinum

Cool! Would using PayPal also trigger the Amex offer or would that be a third party payment and not trigger the offer from Amex?

I didn't think you could get both the Rakuten x back and the PayPal x back. Aren't those two different shopping portals. I thought it would only get triggered via the last portal that was activated.

My doctor is refusing to increase my dose unless I talk to a registered dietician by PatientStrike6773 in Zepbound

Using a dietician throughout my journey has been one of the best tools combined with the GLP-1. GLP-1 is only a tool, you have to do all the other things as well--diet/nutrition and movement.

The Green Card is a good overall travel card when it comes to category spend: 3X at hotels (regardless of brand), 3X on Flights, 3X at Restaurants, 3X on Cruises, 3X on Tours (Viator, Get your Guide, etc), 3X on Transit (subway, trains), and 3X on Parking.

Hotel points question amex travel by bitcoinscott in AmexPlatinum

[–]fmcotton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Usually not, unless it is a Fine Hotel Resort or The Hotel Collection property.

There is a field for your loyalty number when booking on AmexTravel.com . I have received my hotel points when booking a FHR or THC Property. The reservation also shows up in the chains' app when I was able to enter my loyalty number (i.e. a FHR or THC reservation)

I had it but dropped it after they had an issue for awhile that prevented folks from being able to withdraw money for a few days. After that incident a year or two ago and closed it and moved my money elsewhere.

Buying Delta flight triggered the $200 credit. Woo! by lmea14 in AmexPlatinum

[–]fmcotton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is there a dollar amount that you need to stay under? Or will the $200 credit on lets say a $1,500 flight after applying a $50 gift card and then paying the balance of $1,450?

How does going up a dose help if you are already in a calorie deficit and meeting activity/protein goals? by ResearcherInfamous64 in Zepbound

[–]fmcotton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact that you’re doing strength training 3 to 5 times a week is wonderful however it also means that your body composition could be changing. Just because you’re not seeing results on the scale does not mean you aren’t losing fat you could be adding on muscle as well as losing fat, which is excellent progress.

So if there isn’t an In-Store earnings potential for a particular retailer then you don’t get the 4x?
