@BCG1 yes 5 points through Amex GBT

like

I have a friend that goes with both. We uses the Amex for the perks and CSR for better rewards.

In my opinion, 2 main reasons to add an amex Platinum to a csr. 1) amex experiences - gives you some insider access to events, etc.. basically a concierge you might actually get some real benefit from. 2) centurian lounges. The centurian lounges are significantly better than virtually all of the priority pass longues, so especially if you live in a city with one, it can be worth it.

Value of those things varies by person, my belief is it is typically not worth it for most people

Do you get 5x points with Amex platinum if you book through company travel agency on your personal Amex platinum card?

@BCG: No. Only direct or via AMEX travel.

What if our corporate travel is Amex global business travel - does that count?

Oh, well that's kind of an oddball situation. I suspect you'll have to ask AMEX.

Depends on whether your firm will pay for both fees or not. Our firm only pays for one annual fee a year, so it's not super worth it to have both for me.

^^ noob answer oliver wyman 1, amex platinum can easily pay for itself

i would say it is worth it if you:
1) fly delta and want skyclub access
2) fly to or from an airport with a centurion lounge

lounge access is the easiest way to justify amex platinum if you already have csr

I'm under contract for a new build in progress that won't be done until much later this year. I fully expect interest rates will be higher than what I originally estimated. I may or may not try to lock in a good rate early, but I'm planning on renting it out and this throws a bit if a wrench in my margins. I can take it financially, but wondering, If I absolutely needed to get out of buying it, what recourse do I have? Or could I go ahead, and refinance later (who knows rates at that time...)?
