Amex (Non Surpass/Aspire) Platinum & Business CC

Dang it, I didn't stack those discounts when I burned the Q3 credit
Click to expand...
I was thinking about you (& hoping you used it)....
No worries; you are still far ahead of most (as many likely will never use the credit this quarter)....
Q4 coming up soon, in 3 days..
Thinking of waiting for BF/CM sales for Q4 although not sure if Lulu has any nice BF sales or not (or if they will have them anymore, with the likely massive influx of Amex Platty credit shoppers)....
Or may just use the Q4 credit soon (on 10/1), knowing that a credit used is better than a credit lost (+ time/bandwidth wasted in trying to 'optimize' credit) although I am sure someone will remind us here on TUG on BF/CM to use our Lulu (& Saks) credits...

Sax has some expensive undies too I hear. Four undies for $107. Sounds like it’s up your alley.

My wife easily spends the Saks credit twice a year.... And already looking forward to the Lulu Q4

I enrolled yesterday, and got email confirmation. The Amex app was also encouraging me to link our Resy profile with Amex - that turned out not to be required, as DH couldn’t remember his PW and enrollment of the card for credit was a separate process.

Did you add your Platinum card to the Resy app/site? Going to use ours tonight.

Our son is in grad school and has dibs on it... Already mapping out all the qualifying restaurants in his area of Baltimore with reservation tomorrow to blow Q3.
 
Just received this email and trying to decide if it is with getting it. I already have the personal Reserve Card. The companion ticket more than covers the cost. With this one, I would have another one or maybe I should have my wife get it. I don't know. These and the Plat are a lot.

Good deal if at or near a delta hub. Unfortunately I am not.

Sorry, not delta hub here either & sky pesos are usually not as valuable as MR/UR per Mile/points folks although I don't often fly DL (except cash, if good pricing/routing), so can't say much re this CC offer...

*Just need to enroll for Resy credits (on AmEx Plat app/website) & eat at Resy participating restaurant, as I understand...
If you have the Resy app, you may 'link them', so you can then see your Resy reservations etc, apparently on AmEx Plat side. (Defer to Resy & AmEx Platty experts though; Resy newbie here...)
(It shows me as enrolled for the credit & just ate at a local Resy restaurant; shall see if credit hits in next week or so for Q3...)

Per Google (although defer to real human experts/users):

I don't even know what an Oura ring is ... are these nipple rings or something else? Not sure I wanna know. And the membership is to what? ... clubs that require these rings?
Click to expand...

*Looks like Oura is planning to sell a lot of these rings with AmEx Platty credit, so they juice up their numbers for their eventual IPO...
Their valuation just went up to 11B on most recent funding round & likely lots more sales soon, Thx to the AmEx Platy credit)..

That would be interesting stock to buy into. I think Cardless would be as well if they offer an IPO, hearing some rumors of this possibility but no S-1 filings as of yet.

AA GC via BoA PRE easy peasy; credit soon thereafter. no expiry of GC. so far, so good.
Until the Empire Strikes back...

Based on my home airports and typical destinations, AA is usually not competitive for me. I have used Hotel GC a few times with both Hilton and Marriott, and it was a bit of a hassle at the front desk. They eventually worked, but it took a while for the clerks to figure it out.

I do use the UA travel bank, but that has some restrictions.

We use UA Travelbank as well.
 
Sorry, a bit off topic, but loved how this man has regular convos with his family, about his estate plan and has complete transparency between him, his family & his adult children about their net worth, their investments & their spending etc, to avoid drama/conflicts etc. Obviously being in the 0.001% & having a Billion+ $ NW is a different crowd but loved the concept of having folks have regular convos with family re their assets (& how family may access, who gets what, so their is radical transparency)....

*Resy credit earned on Amex app (although credit not applied yet but good to see the tracker moving...)
(Amex Platy, Resy f/u from above; purchase/use 2 days ago; good news)..
Lulu (credit tracker on Amex Platty app) hasn't moved yet (but still shows temp charge on AmEx although Lulu order shipped); confident it should come through (lots of DPs at Reddit; likely they are busy with all of using our credits)...
TY!

Our credits have mostly hit, still waiting for the Oura ring credit though. Accidentally picked the Uber One monthly plan at first and then went back in and signed up for the annual. It paid for both

My Resy credit posted quickly, no sign of my Lulu credit yet for a charge from the 23rd. No idea why, but Uber said I qualified for 6 months of Uber One for free, I won't see a charge until the end of Feb. I don't use rideshare that often so I don't place much value on Uber One.

We primarily use our uber credit for Uber eats. It basically covers the tip but with uber one, you get discounts on food, free delivery, and potentially faster deliveries.

Plus, Costco has two $50 Uber gift cards for $80 so I buy those and add to my uber wallet. When you pay, it uses that credit and the amex credit

For me, the Uber one credits posted quite quickly. My Lulu credit hasn't posted yet, but the charge is still pending. I noticed on the app that there's an enrollment for that credit that wasn't reflected on the app though I did it on the web site; I've enrolled through there and think it likely that I'll need to circle back to a CSR to discuss this one (Lulu).
