Are the points only usable for gift cards and travel or can you do cash back? If you can do cash back, what is the point multiplier?

Straight cash back is only 0.6cpp

Using Amex Checkings will allow you to cash out at 0.8cpp

Using the Schwab Platinum will allow you to cash out at 1.1cpp

All, just an update. I applied for the card and was instantly approved.

It looks like the $120 annual dining benefit in $10 monthly credit is limited to certain resturants / chains.

Please see screenshot. This was from the AMEX Gold Card benefits page.

GrubHub is like UberEATS, doordash - you can order from almost any restaurant. Someone correct me if I am wrong

Yes the gold because it includes supermarkets is powerful because not only can you buy groceries , but supermarkets sell gift cards too to almost any category

Why does this guy keep asking for dm? Is this code for I'll send you a referral so that I can profit? Why doesn't SD crack down on this? Or is this acceptable as long as you don't ask for a referral on the message board?

Eligibility:
Welcome offer not available to applicants who have or have had this Card or the Premier Rewards Gold Card.
When open the link put here I see the line which you have mentioned. When I login to my account & navigate through other amex cards I see a 90K offer for same spend also that doesn't say the signup offer is applicable to first time applicants. Just saying in case this helps others

I apologize I benefit nothing from this other than helping someone who may be in need . To be clear I have no referrals to Hand out and as you can see the link I posted is a public link . And also to be clear if you were so suspicious why did you DM me ? I even bothered to respond . Geez! No wonder the world is turning into a shitty place

Does it tell you when you apply if you don't qualify for the reward points?

I've had a regular Platinum for years. Last week I just opened a Schwab Amex Platinum to take advantage of a Schwab Bank relationship $100 discount and a higher point redemption rate. That's a total of 2 platinum cards.

My plan was to try and get a retention offer to convert my regular platinum to a gold card next month. Now, I'm thinking maybe I should just apply for the gold and cancel the regular platinum.

That would leave me with 1 Schwab Platinum and 1 Gold.

Does Amex make retention offers to downgrade instead of cancelling?

Would love to churn another big bonus but I rarely take flights these days. Cash redemption rate doesn't make it worth it for me unfortunately.
