Nothing comes for free though, these benefits are on top of a $200 annual fee increase ($695 ==> $895) but seems to be well worth it if you make use of all the new benefits.

Good to know what benefits have been removed. Looks like the $120 Global Entry credit is gone?

'New' benefits are just illusions. Not one worthwhile Resy restaurant within 25 miles. Hotel credit is for reservations booked through AMEX portals which are much more expensive than what you can do yourself. Uber and digital subscription credits arethe same as what they have been offering for years. The $300 lululemon Credit / $75 each quarter
and $200 Oura Ring Credit (new) are for websites that have no interest. Only reason that I may stay subscribed is the $1000 yearly credit through Schwab, although last year I got a 1099 for the $1000 credit which reduces the actual credit to around $600 vs $900 annual fee.

So if you purchase UA credits, it counts as an incidental airline fee?

Quote from atulinlondon :
Are all these benefits effective immediately? Ie: We need to use the Lululemon benefit by 9/30 to get the credit for this quarter?

And the $100 in resy credit for this quarter ?
Yes: https://www.doctorofcredit.com/am...mber-30th/

WoW! Complete BS! Those "fine hotels" cost more than the credits they give you. You'd think they would increase the airline credit or allow you to bring extras into lounges for the higher AF. Makes me think all the other benefits are 'softer' with higher profit margin. Mad

Has anyone every used Resy and have it benefit you?

I use Resy all the time - to make reservations. Linking your platinum card gives you preferred access to tables, it's great for short notice reservations with a larger group.

I've never used it to pay for something not even sure how that works but I won't scoff at $100 a quarter!

caveat (I supposed) - I live in the DC area there are a ton of good restaurants

Plenty of Resy restaurants near us. This is awesome.

We had Resy credits on our Gold so this is an amazing upgrade.

How does the Resy credit work?
Quote from Ivanist :
Just eat at any of the restaurants listed on resy and they'll credit you back on your statement.
Or just go to the restaurant that is on listed on Resy and buy $100 gift card. There is a big Reddit thread about it. Some people have double dipped with their Gold Card which gives $50 semi-annually with InKind gift cards for the restaurants that are part of the InKind and Resy. Combine that with Costco InKind $65 for $100 worth when the GCs are on sale.

I have plenty of restraints around my zip code. Someone did mention earlier that this card isn't for everyone's location.

If you want to the Oura Ring. Sign up with Clear and there is a 10% off on the new Oura Ring 4 max discount of $50. Or you can go through Lululemon and get $40 off.

That is why you don't go through the FHR hotels intead choose the HC hotels. Only choose FHR hotels for Europe or South Asia stays.

Have the Schwab version of the platinum and $10M in holdings at Schwab. I'm considering switching from the MS amex to the Schwab one but the credit right now is only$200 if you have 1M-10M.
