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).

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.

USI veterans, need your help!

I had booked a flight through Amex and claimed reimb for it - Amex expense for X amount. But this had to be cancelled and another was booked for X+3000 amount.

Before Amex could receive refund for X amount, I received reimbursement for X amount from D. So I made a counter entry for -X amount and claimed reimb for X+3000.

Problem is that, my counter entry got debited, for -X amount, but I see ANOTHER -X amount in reimb summary, probably due to refund recd in Amex.
