Credit Cards Discussions
American Express

Am I an asshole? An old friend of mine who has a dead end job but has lived with parents his entire life (meaning no expenses) has become hyper obsessed with Elon Musk and crypto. He recently posted a “flex” picture on instagram showing off his Amex Gold card. After two years of this I finally let him know that many of his old friends find his new behavior exhausting and I poked a bit of fun at his amex picture (said a credit card isn’t a fashion statement).

Do additional card holders also get lounge access with Amex Plat? (Paying the additional 175 to have the additional plat card)

Need some help. Says I need $1k spend left by 12/31 to make Delta Platinum. Is this spend updated real-time after every charge? Or does it hit after I pay my Amex delta bill (which is greater than 1k)? Thank you!

Do you get a corporate Amex card when you join MBB in London?

Thinking of buying a new Rav4 hybrid - I’ve never gotten a car loan before. Should I apply to a Chase/Amex car loan or finance through the dealer? Any other advice would be appreciated.

TIA

Can I collect and sign up for multiple delta Amex cards? Need to get points for honeymoon flights

For those looking for unconventional exit opportunities:

My friend is in the air force, has a desk job, works anywhere from 9-4 to 8-6 at the worst, gets 30+ days off per year, and makes over $100K after 6 years. Other perks include Amex fee waivers, retirement, and healthcare.

Which bank savings has best rates among the big trusted names? (GS, Amex etc). Also any advantage of a reference on rate % that anyone might be willing to refer?

Anyone upgrade their Amex Blue to Gold and get the bonus offer?

Have some big trips planned for next year so I would like to upgrade my Delta gold AMEX to Platinum (need that MQD waiver 💸). I heard that if I upgrade I won’t get the 50k sign-up bonus miles, so should I just close my gold card (not my oldest card) and open a new Platinum one?

Is amex plat mostly a sock drawer card if you travel 2-4 times a year? The benefits are good and more than pay back the annual fee (uber, streaming, equinox digital also, etc)

Would like to get max earnings on the occasional hotel/flight expense. 5x earnings is attractive. But the Venture X & CSP offer better earnings, though other benefits differ.

New amex MRP user, and finding that most points are worth disappointingly 1 cent. How are they valued at 2 cents usually?

Is 2c/MRP possible only if redeemed with a airline transfer partner, and get discounts on expensive flights?

Question for my travelers / Priority Pass members:

Can I add a new membership to my existing account? I have a PP account with the lower 2-visit membership benefit (from my corp Amex), but I've recently got a capital one credit card that lets me get a full PP membership. I'd prefer to keep the username and email of my original account rather than making a new account.

How long does it take to get approved for an AmEx? I fly to KRK tomorrow and have an 11 hour layover in FRA and want lounge access. I’ll also be doing more personal travel this year so think it’d be worth it. Think I can get it done and approved by tomorrow?

Does anyone else have trouble linking Amex accounts to their financial tracking apps. I can't link it anymore with rocket money and on mint I have to re verify every few days

Since my Amex platinum is my only card and has no set limit, my access to credit is very low from a credit score perspective. Should I get another card to show lower utilization if I want to improve my credit score?
