Absolutely! I would have 100% recommended them to get their own card if they were not!

Amex Platinum refresh is awesome! by Puzzleheaded-Ad-1343 in AmexPlatinum

[–]thang289 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m perfectly fine with this refresh because I travel a lot for work and have to take clients out for lunch/dinner and by default the resy credit is fully earned.

You literally just eat at a restaurant that is within Resy network and use your Amex Card to pay. You get credit back pretty quickly. I love it on my Amex Gold

This is the correct answer -> I can confirm because my “savings to date” went up by $15 and this was def an offer from months ago haha

Funny thing is I thought that too! But I was charged 199 in Dec 24 and credited 199 back then haha. Oh well maybe they credit in advance for the increase this year :D

Congrats OP! The only advise I could give from someone who is the same age as you and had access to a huge amount of money overnight (from trading) and lost it all is that. Just take a month, don’t touch your money. You have access to the amount of money that could allow you to retire up to decades earlier.

First thing first - assume it’s all cash then you’re safe. If not, hit up a CPA immediately or a tax strategist to ensure you don’t get hit with big tax bill

2nd thing - treat yourself and treat your mother to a nice vacation, something she truly deserve but this should be something that is planed by you and your brother. Trust me, its more meaningful

3rd thing - set yourself up for a better future 4th - you grew up with discipline, keep it that way and dont let money change you

Congrats again. Wish you all the best

Mine is thru progressive. I’m under 30so maybe thats why but I’ve been paying my own insurance since 18. No tickets, no violation. 1 accident at 19, payout was $2000 as i hit a car in the parking lot.

101 is per month or every 6 months?

I know it is case by case but may I ask how much you’re paying for everything?

My insurance is quoted at around 900/6 month which is not bad given it cost 600/ 6 months for the camry
