McKinsey & Company McKinsey & Company NA folks, which corporate Amex card did you pick and why? I already have the Amex Gold so I’m a bit unsure what the best move is here. Is the platinum card worth it with travel levels being what they are these days?

Everyone recommended using the green card as apparently the points don’t stack for personal use on the corporate card; someone else from McK can correct me if I’m mistaken. If you’d like an Amex the recommendation is to get the basic corporate and a personal (I have a platinum but you get better day to day points on the Gold for dining etc; platinum is nice for the concierge and for personal business class travel).

Yes.

Corporate and personal Amex cards have different benefits. For 99% of people here you should get the green card for corp and then look at getting a personal on top of that if desired

It’s always nice to have a platinum card!

I used to have platinum card but switched it for gold in 2020 due to travel restrictions. I am extremely happy with the gold one as the rewards are better compared to the other.

Also, it is easier to maintain, as if you spend more than 1.5l, the annual membership fee gets weaved off. Specially, if you buy online groceries or shop a lot online, gold card give you more benifit. In amazon and Myntra, there is no cost EMI option for Amex, not sure if its specific to gold one. Considering you already would have a corporate card which will give to lounge access, gold card seems like a better fit.

TLDR: if you spend a lot online, gold card is better.

Yaar rupee meh baat kareho😂. Makes sens .thanks for the clarification.
