I learned a lot from this video! It's crazy to see how much hidden value you can get from these super well-known cards... it's easy to see how a card like the Platinum card can be worth it for folks in many other ways than just the credits. Great work Kevin!
There's probably even more hidden benefits that I missed that could easily *bank* you even more value too! Takes work, but it's there! Thanks Spencer!
I don't personally have the AMEX Platinum right now just based on where I"m at in my CC Journey and I'm not necessarily prioritizing luxury travel at the moment. This Card is SO value-packed though, that I definitely plan to get it in the future, and there are some sneaky benefits on the Card as well like you discussed. Dang, National Executive Elite looks super valuable as a Car Rental status! Some of those AMEX Experience benefits like the U.S Open & Coachella seems really cool too. Great video Kevin!
Thanks for watching Matt! It's definitely an awesome card, but only for the right people! I'm sure you'll make great use of it whenever you do get it!
9:01 You also get $200 credit each year on prepaid Fine Hotels or Hotel Collection bookings when you pay with the Platinum.
Are you making non-5x purchases to take advantage of purchase protection or extended warranty, or do you receive those buy just having the card?
You'll need to make the purchases with the card to have those perks. That's why sometimes it's a trade-off between more points elsewhere, or these awesome protections!
I've been on the fence about getting this card, but wow I didn't know there were so many additional benefits!
There are definitely tons of benefits! Any that really stand out to you?
thank you this video, very helpful! on minute 2:22 you show a screen i couldn't find and an amex operator also couldn't confirm... if it's not too much trouble, I'd love a link here. thank you in advance!
No problem, here's the PDF: www.americanexpress.com/content/dam/amex/us/credit-cards/features-benefits/corporate/corporate-marketing-assets/pcac-offer-overview.pdf
The car rental one is amazing with the matching status!
It's been amazing! Do you use that often? Which is your favorite car rental company?
Kevin, can you do a video about RBN. How to Earn AmEx points when buying or selling a home with RBN. Recently found out about it and thought it was a fascinating way to earn Amex points. Thanks.
One perk I don't see a lot of people talk about is that as part of the annual personal card credit from your corporate card, you can also pay $55 a year and you get to keep all the points you spend on your corporate card. I earn so many points this way. It's a great perk when you spend a lot on your corporate card.
Do you just get the basic 1x points on your corporate card? I think my company also lets us keep the points as well (not sure about the $55 fee though)!
@@KevinYang Yes, it's just 1x for everything. Not sure if it's the same for every company but the program for us to keep the points is $55/year. I'm a hospitality director and I spend about 15K a month on my corporate card so it's so worth it for me.
@@Midnightfields Do you have the option of spending on your own personal cards and filing for expense? My company allows that which is why I don't put spend on it haha
Great video and information! 🫡🇵🇷
Thanks for watching Cesar!
Hate the recent T-Mobile change, where they require you to use a debit card or bank account in order to get the Autopay discount. I am now torn between paying more or lose the Amex phone protection. :(
Oh wow, I guess those are the major trade-offs to consider!
Such great ways to get a ton of value from the Plat!
Exactly! Any that you use most often?
@@KevinYang I don’t have the Plat just yet!
@@MannyCovington Is it on your list?
@@KevinYang yeah it is!
I’m just barely starting the video here but you mentioned to keep checking for the targeted Amazon offer which sounds really cool but you don’t mention what that looks like or where to check for it… Is it just mixed in with the other 99 standard offers in that section???
Great callout! I'll add it to the description, but an example is checking here: www.doctorofcredit.com/amazon-get-20-40-off-on-amazon-when-using-1-membership-rewards-point-max-30-40-discount/
@@KevinYang How interesting… lol. Thank you for the link and quick response though! Really appreciate it.
@@sonictonic_ Np! Good luck with being targeted!
Hey Kevin, I came across your channel while trying to research ways to get to Tokyo for less.
Thanks for the tips!
You're welcome, hopefully you found some great value there!
Tried apply with confidence a couple of times, I kept getting declined :(
Noo! How's your credit score/history?
@KevinYang 754...I called their reconsideration line for more details (or maybe just customer specialist), and they said I have too many bank/card account.
I just have 4 active credit cards from 3 different bank as well as one online bank account for savings. So I was kinda confused and probably would try again in a couple of months. Cuz I don't like CSR's offering and Capital One venture x is even more difficult to me. 🥲🥲
