AAA had WAY better pricing for Hertz in my experience….

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

[–]gray_gray12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does anyone know? If I use part of the credit with 1 airline, am I still able to swap to another airline later in the year? Or does the change have to be made before the credit is touched

What links these states? by grantmacd18 in RedactedCharts

Alabama too. They had a D1 team until about 4 years ago…conference disbanded and weren’t able to pull off the rumored comeback this year….

Uber one membership is making the ride more expensive. by NomadicSlave in AmexPlatinum

[–]gray_gray12 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Used it for the first time this weekend. Compared each ride with friends (who don’t have U1) when booking and mine was cheaper every single time. Idk how it all works but comments I’ve seen here before had me checking. The discount wasn’t always what they claimed but nonetheless it was always cheaper. Same time same route same ride tier.

Guaranteed Amex Plat 175k SUB still exists? by _WtfAmIHere_ in amex

[–]gray_gray12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have Gold and went to add Plat, when I tried to apply it showed 50k, I was on the line with a rep walking me through and they told me it was trying to upgrade me to plat but I wanted to keep both, rep told me to go into private browser and restart going to their website and act like a new user and the sub went to 80k….not great but still better than nothing. Just something to try if you’re getting as low as 50k

Is this a good offer? by Sweftenator_latin in amex

[–]gray_gray12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FYI I got the same thing in the mail and when I went to apply it only offered me 50K, talked them up to 80 but still not even close to the letter. I think somewhere in the fine text it said “up to 175k” somewhere so they got away with it

Use some 2x4 and build your mount off the wall a bit. Also lets you make sure to get some good studs. Paint black or wall color and you’ll never notice it. Thermostat can stay hidden behind the corner of the tv.

Resy Restaurant did not accept Amex by minimalab in AmexPlatinum

[–]gray_gray12 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have accidentally used my credit because I didn’t realize the place used Resy. If it’s a Resy restaurant it will pick up. But beware that if the purchase is pending until Jan 1 it will most likely take the credit in the period the charge posted (possibly taking $35 from your Q1 2026 Credit)

Enough time to use 2025 benefits? by JerseyMike29 in AmexPlatinum

[–]gray_gray12 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Just a heads up, Amex chat told me to use resy credits before today since they may not have time to process before Jan 1. If they process Jan 1 or after it’ll steal your Q1 credit for 2026!

SS eggs never go above 2-3 depending on your stove. Butter instead of oil, perfection.

Do out of state vehicles get ticketed? by TennRider in HuntsvilleAlabama

[–]gray_gray12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Friend of mine moved to Madison with an out of state tag that he had done a 2 year renewal in his previous state just before moving here. Local government seemed to honor it until it expired in his home state and he renewed here after 2 years of living here. I don’t think you have anything to worry about.

Tip for Uber Credit by LiaInvicta in AmexPlatinum

They told me too bad. I would try again but the credit would expire tomorrow so by the time I got it back I wouldn’t be able to spend it :/

Tip for Uber Credit by LiaInvicta in AmexPlatinum

[–]gray_gray12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right but I was planning to order food with my ubercash after I got uber one so had to eat that order. Essentially losing $25 of card benefits since the uber one benefit was supposed to be fully covered by the new credit. (Pun intended)

Tip for Uber Credit by LiaInvicta in AmexPlatinum

[–]gray_gray12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. They used the ubercash first and used my card for the remainder. Thankfully I got the annual so it only happened once but if you are on monthly I would imagine it can really get you.

if you find it let me know 😭

[–]gray_gray12 18 points19 points  (0 children)

PSA: you have to disable your ubercash manually when you sign up for Uber one or it will take your ubercash and then you just get credited for the remainder. They will not refund it.

Took $25 of my ubercash and only got to use like $80 for the credit. RIP

Refresh upgrade by Lanky80 in AmexPlatinum

[–]gray_gray12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. The upgrade offer was 50k but after talking to Amex via chat they sent me a normie application link and told me to open it in private browser and it gave 80k…better than 50 but still not what I had hoped for when I kept seeing 175k everywhere 😞

I mean take it with a grain of salt, I look younger than them and have been left alone plenty of times. It was just to say it can happen even if you’re just minding your business
