Anyone with the Amex Platinum: do you think it is worth the fee? How have your airport lounge experiences been? Any difficulties getting approved?

Happy to hear other card recommendations too!

Anyone ever lost their checked in baggage on a domestic flight? My MIL never got her bag back on a direct flight from Chicago to Denver. My S.O was on the flight and had used their southwest credit card for the purchase. It had some custom dresses which were we paid in cash for. Been over 30 days now and just got a note asking for receipts. Any chance I will get anything at all?

Haven’t taken Southwest in many years. Have no status. Have a free voucher. How bad is it to fly a single leg, with no status? Is the boarding experience at DCA bad? Looks like I wouldn’t be eligible for TSA pre since no status on the airline?

Flying Southwest with wife and infant child tomorrow. As most of you know there are no seat assignments. I’m going to board first and hold the seat next to me so that my wife can board with our baby at the very end of boarding to minimize their time on the plane. What are the chances other passengers will make a fuss that I’m holding a good seat upfront during boarding?

Flying southwest. Fairly full flight, though not 100% Second row is an older married couple with an empty seat between them. I ask them if it’s taken, and they get huffy and puffy and say not taken but they want it empty. I was like, well imma take it. AITA?

So after 5 years I will be losing my Southwest Companion pass this January. I originally earned it 5 years ago via the sign up bonus for the southwest cards (earned it with travel since then). Can I cancel my southwest card and just re sign up again?

Really don’t want to lose this perk.

I have been searching for a travel card for months. I am a young guy who is looking to take advantage of credit and earn points at the same time.
