Another perk is there are a few arenas and stadiums that are sponsered by AMEX. I went to a Drake concert last week at Barclays Arena and AMEX card holders had a private entrance which allowed me to skip insane line. Got two free drinks, and 10% off all food purchases in the arena.

You can track your spend by going to 'Statement and Activity' > on the left side under 'Card Activity' go to 'View by Year'> Click on '2023 to Date' > scroll all the way down. I'm pretty sure the annual fee is included in that total, so just deduct that from your spend amount.

While this isn’t a new tip, but If you eat out with friends every now and then, I pay the whole bill and have them send me money accordingly. Recently we had AYCE Sushi and the bill came to about $390. At 4x points that’s 1,560 points! I do this with groceries with my siblings as well so you can really take advantage of the 4x multiplier. Making points hasn’t been easier and this card has been a blast to use!

I am trying to look up gold card and it is not showing up does anyone knows what is going on with it?

I have a question. I want to get both gold and platinum. Basically a duo of both. Gold for every purposes and platinum for travel and all. Which one I should get first? And second one I get after 3 months.

Hey Daniel, i have the sapphire reserve/ trifecta, so plat wouldn't make sense. My Amex gold offer is 90k. Do you think this is a no brainer? Or could the hilton surpass mega bonus be more worth it?

Hi Daniel ! Just hoping you could answer a question for me . I recently got the chase sapphire preferred card . Looking to get my next card but not exactly sure which route to take. Mainly looking to maximize travel rewards as I'm wanting to travel more . Should I first complete the chase trifecta with the freedom unlimited and freedom flex . Or jump into a different card like Amex gold or Venture X . And if so what order should I go in . I'd also like to get the BILT for my $2000 rent payment .

@jyk000

7 ай бұрын

Complete the trifecta. You’ll have more routes to build points faster. One example, you’ll be getting 1.5x points minimum with the trifecta completed, compared to just 1x. Don’t get an Amex if you don’t need to. It’s not about collecting cards, but getting the most return from them as a whole. But, if there’s something you’d like from Amex like better airport lounges or Resy Global Dining, I’d start building the Amex Gold+Plat duo (if you can afford it!) before completing the Chase trifecta, since you may not need the trifecta if you’re holding Gold+Plat.

Sometimes it takes me a while to subscribe to someone's channel. I really enjoy how clean and quick your videos are. Appreciate the information, thank you.

Hi Daniel! Question for you. Can I transfer the points I got from my Amex gold to an Amex blue cash every day. I want to cancel my gold card and get something with no annual fee. Would this work without losing my points?

So I have an Amex corporate card, thinking of applying for Amex gold and platinum. When I use the Amex eligibility link, the sign-up bonuses aren't that great. Would you recommend that I apply for Amex gold and platinum with better sign-up bonuses first, then notify Amex that I have a corporate card and would like to get the personal card annual credits?

Love my Amex Gold👌🏾👍🏽👍🏽

For the Hotel Collection, is there a max to use $100 credit? like is that only once a year thing or up to certain number of times? also if you book two rooms for two nights, does that mean i get $200 credit?

For the 7th offer , is it once a year perk or can be used multiple times a year ?

So to get the retention offer I have to wait for the gold to take out the $250 the following year?

Do the people you add get a priority pass too or is it only the main account holder?

I know this is off topic from the main video but I have a question Daniel! I’m thinking of having the Chase trifecta and Citi trifecta. Chase for travel, Citi for cash back. Is this a good setup? I’m not really comfortable with Amex yet considering the annual fees and such. You’re my go to channel when it comes to credit cards, you’ve inspired me to start my credit journey. Thank you for all you do 🙏

Hey! To anyone who can answer I spoke to Amex asking if waiting for the due date to pat the bill with auto pay hurt my credit if I carry a decent balance on the card past the statement date… the person from Amex said it should never hurt you as long as you pay your bill monthly… this obv is different then normal credit cards correct because they send your “usage” reports to credit on statement dates correct ? Even if you pay on time (due date) you will still be hurt techbically.. is Amex different ?! Thx

Thank you daniel...i found this video helpful as i just recently opened the amex gold card last week.. My question is about the annuel fee and how the credits in dining and uber eats could offset the fee?... after i use these credits... how do i apply it to the annual fee?

@Daniel_Braun

11 ай бұрын

So it’s more of a net cost when you add things up at the end of the year. Meaning you pay $250 up front to get $20 in credits back per month from the 2 monthly credits. So at the end of the year you will have paid $250 and received up to $240 back in credits. So nothing is applied against the annual fee, it’s just a net total. Hope that makes sense!

The Amex Gold card is definitely a card that I am seriously considering as my next card. I probably won’t apply for the Gold card until sometime in 2024 because I am getting 5% cash back on groceries with my CFU card until November. I’ve determined that spending $4,000 over the course of 6 months is attainable for me because I easily spend at least $667 per month across all my cards . My utilities, car insurance, and cell phone bills together come to pretty close the $667. When I do get a new credit card, I often use a spreadsheet to keep track of my spending toward the signup bonus. I used the spreadsheet when I got my Citi Custom Cash card late last year and my Hilton Honors card earlier this year. For some reason, the tracker that Citi has wasn’t working in my account. Anyway, I could definitely benefit from the Grub hub and Uber Eats credits every month. The Amex offers are also a nice feature on the Amex cards. I’ve already used some of the offers on my Hilton Honors card. Great video, Daniel! This video was definitely thorough in going over the many benefits of this card.

Using a referal to get another card for double the bonus points works only if you can charge another 6k onto the other card. Gotta keep that in mind.

Do balance transfers count towards spending requirements.

Do you like this more than the Hilton honors express ?? I feel like the $250 fee kills it when u compare the two.. but that’s just me

Funny enough, there IS a way to see what you’ve spend except it comes with a caveat. You must have an additional member on your account and when you click to see what they’ve spent, you’ll also be able to see what YOU’VE spent in a pie graph.

I did get an offer from Amex Gold. Seriously considering it vs the Capital One Venture X

@ThomasBanis

If your a traveler venture X gives way more value the 2 cards are totally different categories from my perspective and I have both Gold earns a ton of points but venture gives solid perks with a low fee. Venture x is more comparable to platinum Amex. Not as perk heavy but a much lighter price tag.

Awesome video man. I had a question about the welcome bonus offer (mine is 90k after spending 6k in first 6 months). Once you hit the spending threshold, how long does it realistically take for the bonus points to hit your account? I know Amex tells you 8-12 week, but I’ve seen many people online saying it’s usually just the next billing cycle. Or even a few days later.

Why not just get the CSR instead that combines traveling and dining?
