Yes, finally something I actually pay for
i hope everyone here knows of the 2 loopholes on this...

1 is United travel bank
2 is Jet blue flights between a certain amount. I believe $84-132. ANd then you can cancel and get that money put into your jet blue travel bank.

Ignorant...

For many these benefits don't add up, and they shouldn't hold this card. For many they do...

$200 Uber/Uber eats
$200 airline incidental(multiple loopholes to get full value on this, even if you travel just a few times a year)
$240 this credit. It's not the greatest but many can get full value.
$200 hotel credit(this is probably the most useless one for a few good reasons so will leave this out of final tabulation)
$179 clear credit(for those of us that have airports that have clear this is solid. I'm in nyc and it saves me literally an hour min at any given tsa line)
$100 saks 5th (they have things that sell for $50 bucks that you can easily cash in on. I don't buy clothes every other week, i literally just got a set of 12 kielbasas from there for $50 bucks, will do again in summer for bbq)
$300 equinox credit. Not for everyone, and I don't use it, but many will utilize it.


That's just the cash bits.

You get status at hotels, for many road warriors that's worth a lot.
Walmart+ for free. That's ~12 bucks a month, or $145 a year if you use that service
Centurion lounge access. Worth 100s of bucks for those that travel a lot.

Probably missing a few. Short of it is, if you travel even fairly casually, this is a card that you get money back on. If you are a full on road warrior, this card is a must have in the pocket.

HBO Max and I'm in.
I guess you can do Hulu basic($6.99) + HBO Max Bundle ($14.99) = $22 before tax

Slightly higher than the $20 credit but it should work.

Edit: Better if you have student promotion, then, you got $2 for Hulu, $3 for Disney plus, $15 for HBO Max

Congrats, then you don't have a need for this card.

Quote from morbie :
Wow, that 700 bucks annual fee is steep, 15 years ago it was 400 bucks and the black card had about a $2500 annual fee iirc
For those interested here is a calculator that can help explain the credits and your yearly value/haul. I'm sure there are other calculators.

https://www.asksebby.com/credit-c...annual-fee

Can you post those links again they seem to have been shortened and thus give a 404.

Quote from BONEITUSGUY :
Buy southwest tickets >$100. If you want a ticket that's over $100, buy one that's under then flight change to the more expensive ticket (each transaction needs to be under $100)
The point still stands, this should be easier to use. See the CSR from Chase. No airline partner to choose for this credit to apply for, it just applies!

I understand these steps aren't necessarily hard, but it does prohibit enough people from fully utilizing this credit each year. Which is exactly what Amex wants.

Any idea how to use this credit if you have already paid for a year of Disney+ upfront? Cancel and resubscribe?

But HBO Max is not eligible for statements credits.

Just as an FYI - the full cost of that bundle (Hulu, Disney, ESPN, etc) is like some ridiculous $75/mth.
The 'perks' of Amex Platinum are not keeping pace with the annual fee increases that are now at *$700* a year(!). When I became a platinum customer the fee was 1/2 that and was well worth it.

i have the Marriott Bonvoy Platinum American Express. Do I qualify for this perk? I looked all over my account and tried to enroll and it just goes back to the page I started with.

You add HBO Max as Hulu add-on, although I am not 100% sure if the charge for the HBO will be incurred under Hulu. (I feel it should.)

Ah I see. I would imagine the merchant name would be different, like Amazon Marketplace versus Amazon. com

Congrats? Lol.

Dropping Peacock. That service really sucks. Will gladly get the Disney bundle instead.

There's also the Corporate Advantage Program if you have any Amex corporate card through work. This can provide a nice discount on the annual fee for personal cards.

Their car rental code at Hertz provides a pretty nice discount too. During the pandemic, we rented a luxury car for under $300 for a week when prices were sky high without it.

I'm not 100% clear, can someone tell me if you got a card and your partner got a card you would get $240 per card or $240 in total?
