Amex Plat if you fly Delta or have an airport with a Centurion Lounge. All the other airline lounge cards are shitty unless you only fly that airline...I have the AA exec card for this reason but it's not great

Yes AMEX Plat here, P1 basically hit it. I'm a Delta guy, and just used PriorityPass for lounge access on my vacation, and AMEX points on Amazon, so I like it

@pwc2 Amex MR points for amazon or bill credit is literally the WORST value you can get.

I know, but my wife shops SO much on Amazon I'll take all the help I can get lol

I've been Amex plat forever. I fly AA and am currently between two airports without a centurion lounge. If this project gets extended, I'm switching

I have the platinum corporate card and the AA exec card. Love having the club membership on AA.

Uncle pdubs pays $100 towards the annual fee

I might get roasted for asking such a basic question but - how much do you budget for eating out ($ amount or % of budget)?

Now that I’m fully vaccinated and are many of my friends they want to go out to eat/drink. During covid I moved from a LCOL to here so I’m experiencing delayed sticker shock at the prices. Any tips?
