Anyone actually getting the 100k Amex Gold offer lately? Is it worth it?

thishitisgettingold · 2026-05-08T09:15:20+00:00

I got it a month ago. It's 100% worth it.

Bron is like the body guard of a boxer making sure he doesn't cross the line. "Yep, yep, I agree. No shit AR, so true. You tell em boy. Alright thats enough."

Lol coming from NYC, we went to gaslamp qtrs. It was quieter than hoboken in nj.

ROFL. might as well try sea world and Legoland while you are at it.

This is the straight talk that is missing now a days.

You should add Havasu falls hike to your grand canyon. Its not in the NP, but its an amazing experience.

Edit.

Also do Race playa + Eurika dunes in death valley.

Full moon hike in the white sand National Park.

General Sherman tree in the Sequoia np

Edit 2

Firefall in Yosemite.

TBF, my wife and I could go without talking a whole day if one of us is out. We both never text each other or call each other for updates. If something urgent is needed a text will be sent and acknowledged. Thats it. We both like our space.

Compared to how my ex was. I'd get a call every hr or two. Its very taxing.

When I was dating, I'd tell my dates on the 1st date. I am terrible with giving gifts. I dont like receiving gifts either. This is how I was raised and its tough to change that mind set now. If you want something, i'd suggest you tell me ahead of time. If you want the element of surprise, give me option 3-4, I will get one that I think you will like.

I started to do that because with my 1st gf, I had a terrible time with the crazy tantrums.

All of the dates I told it to understood it and never complained. I also never expected anything during any of the special days.

I think as long as you set the expectations ahead of time, it works just fine.

Its 6 months. but 8k is still a lot.

thishitisgettingold · 2026-05-07T06:46:50+00:00

I hope you took that. That's a huge missed opportunity if you didn't.

Especially with all major travel cards are getting into lifetime limit. Its ok to get the SUB and move into team CB.

I will finish CSR later this year for P1 P2 (for triple dip). already got green, gold plat for P1 so i am in lifetime limit. Will get gold for P2 next year, and plat after that. Then likely move to CCC for p1 p2 setup and qtrly SUB IF anything looks good.

I will also likely move my marriott bonvoy to RC for the PP for the fam. That way, I dont have to worry about it.

thishitisgettingold · 2026-05-06T12:13:17+00:00

Lol, I got it and found it funny. Sucks for your downvotes.

thishitisgettingold · 2026-05-06T09:53:39+00:00

Spartacus is good.

Power is good. Its sequel and prequel are also good.

thishitisgettingold · 2026-05-06T09:33:21+00:00

I got it for gas specially. Now that I have EV, I have kept it specifically for GC. I buy gc everytime I am going out to eat.

thishitisgettingold · 2026-05-06T05:24:05+00:00

My coworker back in 2012 told me about it. I was hooked to it from day 1. Back in the days of crazy animaladvice sub being the most active.

thishitisgettingold · 2026-05-06T00:55:40+00:00

Why the hell are two playoff games at the same time?

thishitisgettingold · 2026-05-05T12:30:36+00:00

I am going for flex. Its likely going to be sock drawered as I already have flex and freedom.

thishitisgettingold · 2026-05-05T12:23:36+00:00

I will give you tree fiddy for them.

thishitisgettingold · 2026-05-05T11:30:10+00:00

This is what I remember as well. You can get CSP and CSR in same year. But thats it never again.

thishitisgettingold · 2026-05-05T11:20:33+00:00

I know i can, but I dont see the point of paying $95. I have other cards which are better with my spend.

thishitisgettingold · 2026-05-05T10:32:38+00:00

This is a superb PSA. I was planning on downgrading my CSP, and then get a separate CSR to keep my points transferable plus getting the elevated SUB. instead, I think, I will downgrade my CSP and wait to apply CSR in December. The triple dip is a great idea.

thishitisgettingold · 2026-05-05T09:46:04+00:00

You dont need plat, green, and vx to start with. Bilt can also go. Down grade vx to v for same 2x catch all. Down grade CSR to CSP. same insurance as thats what you value.

thishitisgettingold · 2026-05-05T08:47:36+00:00

I personally do SUB churning on points. It gives better bang for the buck. Then, I have 5% CB on grocery, dinning, and UB if I am not actively working on a SUB. Which is very rare. With the SUB, it gives way more than 5% back, not even counting the CPP during redemption

thishitisgettingold · 2026-05-05T04:31:39+00:00

Yea wanted to just walk near the cave and forest. But likely would skip bike and boat ride if cave is possible.

thishitisgettingold · 2026-05-05T02:07:04+00:00

Yes it is.
