Anyone upgraded their corporate Amex to platinum? Is it worth it? Specifically wondering if you can more points per dollar than with the green card.

I'd say upgrading your corporate to platinum is not because then you're responsible for that $600 annual fee. BUT it is probably worth it to get the personal platinum card through the corporate card bonus offer. And then you can accumulate points for work and play together.

That's right BCG1, only for new personal accounts. This could also just be a custom EY-Amex partnership offer and not necessarily available to anyone with a corporate green card.

Also there are other similar options for the gold, green, and blue cash preferred cards with varying levels of statement credits and bonus points, if we dont want to go all the way to platinum.

Not entirely sure how the shared points pool works but i know we can transfer the corporate card points to personal so they are useful.

I’ve had the Corporate AXP since before the firm stopped reimbursing it for frequent travelers. It does automatically enroll you in Membership Rewards, which effectively knocks like $95 off the fee. The fee is also sticking at $550 for at least another year, and unlike the more expensive personal card, it will also still allow you to bring guests into Centurion Lounges when that policy changes.

It’s mainly a benefits card. If you regularly fly Delta via airports with a Sky Club, or transit through airports with a Centurion Lounge, it’s valuable. It also gets you rental car status (at least with National) that lets you get decent cars, and I think it gives you entry level Hilton status if for some reason you can’t stay at a Marriott property.

Thanks. Already have a good personal card so I don't think the perks would be worth it. Was hoping it would get more points than the green one to justify the higher cost.

I get $3200 in rent for a condo that I have $3600 monthly costs on (mortgage, property taxes, HOA fees). Although I put in $400, I make about $1400 a month in equity (15 year mortgage). Property is worth about $470k and I have $200k in equity. Make sense to keep or sell?

Hi all,

I am an IT professional having almost 5 years of experience and want to move to Canada for PR. My CRS score is not upto the cut off. I need someone who can help in earning connections points for Manitoba PNP program.

As it allows having an acquaintance or a friend to earn those 20 points, it can help my PR application.

Anyone who is PR and resident of Manitoba can dm me to discuss around it. I am ready to pay for this assistance as well.

I’m seeing lots of posts about really bad losses. If you trade you’re going to lose money - hopefully not all the time, but many positions will be mistakes. But you need a process to find ideas and manage positions. Two books you should read are “The New Trading for a Livinng” and “The Laws of Trading.” Both look at psychology, process, and risk in different ways that can help you work out your own process. The next 18 months will be much harder than the last 18 - time to start learning.

In the past I’ve wrongly thought that forgiveness brings restoration of relationships. But reconciliation requires everyone involved to respond -which is beyond our control. Forgiveness says I’m canceling that debt- it’s my marker & I’m tearing it up. I’m putting myself in Gods hands -Justice comes from Him. We mistakenly think that forgiveness is weakness as if we just capitulated. Forgiveness isn’t a sign of weakness- It takes strength to forgive. God tells us to forgive.
