Anyone have both Gold and Platinum AMEX? Do you ever feel it’s not worth it?

I have both also if you have a corporate AMEX you get discount on the AF :)

Mine said not eligible :(

Have both. Worth it for me as AMEX Plat pays itself with the benefits and Amex Gold’s 4X for groceries & restaurants is huge which racks up MR points fast, especially if you also uses Rakuten!

Thanks! Will be adding this on

Same sentiment as A1. The new higher annual fee hurt but a few months in I had already ripped through most of the credits and am still using the monthly ones so it’s definitely still worth it even after using up initial sign up reward points.

When the fees hit it feels pretty unworth it. But, they work for me. The offers are a great plus, they've had a few good ones lately

Could also reapply this fall and add Tuck and Kellogg to the mix but unsure if it’s worth the risk as this fall may be very competitive.

I am on notice period with Tata Consultancy with 2 months remaining with an offer in hand where the joining date is just after notice period ends. Now, I got early release from current company and thus, I saved 2 months. But I want to use these 2 months for travelling, upskilling and looking for better offers instead of contacting the new company for early joining. So, if I join the new company after 2 months will this be considered as a 'gap' in my profile in the future and will it be harmful?
