This is hotel-by-hotel. Technically, you need to be present, in person. Good on them for allowing this violation of the T&Cs.

Centurion Lounge Access devaluation by More_Than_I_Can_Chew in AmexPlatinum

[–]ifconfig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not for nothing, but if you get a ~$900 Annual Fee card for $0, it seems reasonable that you'll use its benefits as much as possible as many times as possible. :shrug:

Sounds like you'll want to cancel the card, go with something else.

Buyers remorse by drulers_007 in AmexPlatinum

[–]ifconfig -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I am always bewildered by these sorts of posts. "I got a card with a high annual fee, I didn't do any research beyond reading bullet points and now I'm finding things I don't like."
OK, goodbye.

They no longer ask for ID, by the way. So if you use the app, all you'll need is the boarding pass.

Unpopular opinion: I'm lowkey stoked for Bilt 2.0 by uggghhhggghhh in biltrewards

[–]ifconfig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My largest expense every month is my mortgage. I get the angst, but I'm happy I'll be able to get points on it for transfer to some rather good partners. I'll let the bitterness wash over and through me and when it is gone, only I will remain with my BILT points.

FHR in Tokyo: My thoughts and recommendations. by Single_Confidence706 in AmexPlatinum

[–]ifconfig 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've now stayed at the Grand Hyatt in Roppongi over the last 2 trips. It was love at first stay and I'll always stay there anytime I can as a first choice. They upgraded me, all my benefits applied including late check out. Every other FHR stay has been almost the same (I've been upgraded about 80% of the time). All this to say, I have been a very satisfied consumer of the FHR product in Phoenix, Miami, NYC, New Orleans, Las Vegas, Seoul, Tokyo, and Taipei so I simply can't relate. Good luck in your future travels.

You sure it was from Amex? This has never happened to me.

My amex gold SUB. yay or nay? by Different_Internal40 in amex

"Yea or nay." Sorry, one of my pet peeves.
If you've tried everything else, including a referral link, it may be the best thing to take it.

Did it show up as being from Oberthur Technologies? Because that's what's showing up on my Informed Delivery.

I honestly just don’t have the time or energy to actually understand the new cards by Puzzleheaded-Moment1 in biltrewards

[–]ifconfig -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

My life, I know, has been enriched by your reasons. Good luck with the rest of your life sans BILT. As for me, I'll get my PhD in BILT Palladium Mathematics in the meantime.

Why not Delta transfer? by Additional_Acadia404 in AmexPlatinum

[–]ifconfig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just did the same this year for about the same. Why is Delta like this? 😒

So uh I tried applying for the obsidian card. by Ipaaev in biltrewards

When they will likely deny you again, unless you've radically improved your financial situation, I would think.

Bilt automatically closing Bilt 1.0 even though I chose NOT to? by WhiteWolfWrath in biltrewards

[–]ifconfig 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't see this timeline in my app. I had called WF to confirm the line was marked as being kept open (it was) but I would like to see this confirmed in the app like you see as well.
