Going to start doing coast to coast travel on a regular basis for Atleast 6 months. Looking for a new credit card. Already have reserve. Any thoughts on Amex plat? I want more lounge access/perks

If you're flying Delta every week (get lounge access) or have a Centurion Lounge on either end, then consider the AMEX Platinum. If you're AFS, where policy mandates booking flight on credit card consider getting the personal Amex (think it pays out the bonus points on travel).

The Priority Pass perks seem to be better for the CSR.

We need more info than that. What airlines and airports? What cities?

Amex Plat is great if your cities have centurion lounges and/or you are flying delta, as you get delta lounge access too.

If you are flying united or AA, then getting their respective high end card offers lounge access too and is not a bad option.

A lot of the other “perks” of the cards either don’t apply (free checked bags) or you would get anyway with even the first level of status. (Priority boarding).

Ah yes. Here u go:

Flying NYC to San Fran. Prefer to fly delta but open to other options

Only have the reserve that I use for my hotels n loyal to Marriott. Open to discuss if Marriott CC is a good option

Get Platinum for flight spend, access to Delta lounges (you'll get a centurion lounge at JFK next year) and there is one already in SFO. Hotel spend on the reserve. The marriott card is best for the added elite nights and quicker path to status which if you're doing this weekly you'll earn quickly anyway.

Curious how other people’s brains work.
When you get an activation brief, what’s your process for coming up with a solid idea?

Look for cultural moments that you can adapt? Look through award show books? Scroll YouTube videos until 3am?

I know that every brief and every idea is different, but I’m more interested in the process and what you’re creative routine is to get the wheels turning.

Thanks.

Would that be too awkward if I accept & back out their offer?
