I have the AmEx Green card. Should I get/upgrade to AmEx Gold/platinum or CSR? I’ll likely be flying with delta. Can’t use my card for flights but can use it for everything else (hotel, dining).

Amex Platinum has lounge access for Delta flights, which I’ve found pretty valuable if you don’t have lounge access some other way.

Yep - good clarification, need to be on a Delta ticketed flight.

I have all three: plat, gold, and CSR. I get $250 off the plat and gold membership fee and the priority pass for restaurants makes the CSR worth it to me.

Plat will get you in delta lounges if you fly delta, although you won’t get 5x for flights because you can’t use your card for flights. You may be able to get 5x if you book hotels via AmEx‘s travel site, but sometimes can’t use your hotel status.

Gold would get you 4x on dining, and sometimes that’s everything.

@z, I did it through the chat function on their website. The Corp advantage works on 3 cards: plat ($150), gold ($100) and preferred (can’t remember which one)

It wasn’t the first time I tried. I had to try twice. Give it another go.

Get Amex platinum for the delta and Amex lounge access and the gold for the 4x on dining. Don’t need the CSR I would say.

OP you want then platinum also to get 5x on hotels.

Hi, I'm an employee at a hotel chain who works remotely. I've been working remotely for over a year now and I love it! The company I work for is very supportive of remote workers, which is great.

But there's one thing that's been bothering me: it's hard to get feedback on my work when I'm not in the office. It would be great if there was some kind of system that let me know how my performance was being evaluated while I'm working on projects from home.
