Have you ever used the Concierge benefits of your credit card? How well does that work? Is it really like having a private secretary? Can you get them to order Amazon gifts on your behalf, or call in an Uber Eats order?

They’re legally obligated to do anything you ask of them. One time I got a concierge to steal $50m in unmarked bills and escape to Columbia just for laughs

Or wipe your ass. The answer is No to all

No 🙄 they can help you book travel and maybe a couple dinner reservations. However they’re not incentivized to get you a good price, just to get it done.

Why would you ask someone who works for your credit card company to open up the Uber eats app for you...?

Best use is for reservations, tickets, booking things in countries where English isn't always widely spoken, etc. I've had mixed experiences with the Amex Platinum concierge. I don't think they'd do Uber Eats but I'm sure they'd order from a place that offers in house delivery for you, though I'm not sure why you'd want to do that.

They also come home to give massage or hugs if you are having a bad day, they might charge you for fuel though.

I knew a girl who used her Mercedes in-car concierge (or maybe it was for emergencies?) to request tasks but they eventually cut her off. But for awhile she got them to do a lot of things.

And we need you to be better than that girl. Can you do that?
