Any good strategies for getting retention offers from AMEX? Have platinum and gold cards and the gold card annual fee just hit - which I’m trying to reduce or have a reason not to cancel/downgrade

Call and ask directly. If not, hang up and try again. Really no strategy to it other than that.

Out of curiosity, why do you have both? I understand there are some differences in points accruals but when I got the platinum I upgraded from gold as it didn’t appear that there was enough to justify two annual fees.

Have platinum schwab bc I transfer my MR points to cash into my brokerage account. I have to use my corporate AMEX for everything (no exceptions). I’ll spend $60k-$80k on my corporate card which is $750-$1k in cash. Only really spend money on food so getting about 3k points per month through gold card 4x on dining. $200 in uber credits, $120 in grubhub credits, $300 in airline credit and $100 in saks credit helps me rationalize the $800 annual fees
