Any thoughts/experience between sapphire reserve vs Amex platinum? Their annual fee is about the same around 500 with corporate card discount. Amex does have lot more perks which equals to >600 annually but reserve also better point earning/transferring system.

Tyia!

I don’t know I feel the sapphire preferred, the 95$ annual fee card had pretty good perks. Just scored 100,000 welcome points after spending 4K

AmEx Platinum Card upped their fee to $750 I believe. However if you have a corporate AMEX they will take $100 off. You just have to call and request a discount.

I have Amex Platinum and Sapphire Preferred, CSP covers when Amex isn’t allowed and this keep the annual fees at a reasonable rate. If you get referred for Amex Plat rn, they’re doing 125K bonus and 10x on dining for first 6 months. HMU 😂

Wow I got 100k a few years ago and thought that was crazy. I wonder if I can get a second

Consider the new contender, the Capital One Venture X. New card just released to compete with the platinum and reserve cards. And a much lower annual fee (better fee-to-benefit ratio).

Does anyone know if they are waiving the first years fee, or would it be due right at the beginning?

Using a Bank of Canada inflation calculator $55,000 in 1981 is equivalent to ~$165,000 today, which would put someone in the top 10% of earners today. But in 1981 the median family had that extra money. Who can I blame?
