Currently have CSR, and just got corporate Amex Green card as I just started at the firm. Are the Amex points worth the Amex personal points fee? And should I upgrade to Platinum for these points?

But if you travel a lot then yes pay the 90$ for the points

SA1 is correct, Corp plat does not have the same bonuses and personal plat Amex

The upgrade to the Platinum is worth the ~$400, sure it doesn’t have all the benefits of the personal Platinum but it has most of them. You get points which would have cost you $90 anyways, $100 credit on the airline of your choice (you should still expense the original charge to the client), credit for global entry, GoGo/Boingo Wifi, Conciercge (got face value tickets for Hamilton once), Priority Pass, and best of all the Centurion Lounges in a growing number of cities.

Platinum Upgrade adds no value

So what I’m gathering is that the Amex platinum doesn’t provide same benefits on the Corp card as it does personal, so don’t upgrade, but if I’m traveling a lot for my role (which I probably will be), I should at least pay the fee for the personal points on the green card?

Worth it to get a personal Amex and link the accounts. You can get your Corp points that way.

Thanks DD1! Good to know

Yeah. Worst case you get .7 cents per point at Amazon, Bestbuy, and NewEgg.

SC1 But if I can only book Corp travel through the Corp card do I not get the same benefits/points as the platinum? Or do I still get them because I’d have platinum in my portfolio

D1 you sure amex plat gives gogo wifi? i don’t think it does.

Still give 10 flight passes a year.
