Today's video is gon na be about the AMEX changes that happen right now, so the changes they've just had him, but then in the last a few weeks is no more Amex incidental fee for gift cards and it's a bummer. But you know I'm going to talk to you guys and kind of just have you guys make sense? You don't know what it is and kind of probably try to acts and answer as many questions as possible for it. Ok, so let's go right into the video. So in the last two or three weeks, people on the FICO forms people on different websites have confirmed there were only two Airlines left.

I was Southwest in Delta gift cards. Typically, it was $ 50 increments from Delta, a hundred or in conventional Southwest. As far as the airline gift card from American Express now, there were only two cards that were given. That away was the Amex gold card or the old Amex premiere rewards gold card PRG, but now it's the MX gold card and also the a max platinum card.

So the MX gold card was giving away a hundred dollars every year for airline incidentals, and all you have to do is pick your airline for that year and on paper you know you has one thing, but in the real world we were using it for airline Secrets we're using it for gift cards, so we would get a increments of $ 50 for our favorite airline. I used American and I would go ahead and do increments of 100 on the Platinum Card and 50 on the gold card. Don't know why did 50 or 100 or the other, but I did it that way and within a couple of weeks I had them served with a couple days. I get the gift card being able to use it and then I'll also get the refund.

So I really made a lot of sense and I really game it out of value as far as the card it gave me, a lot more value than accident is supposed to be used for it, but now that it's over it is done as of right. Now getting can change in the future, which you know. Obviously we all want that, but I don't think that's going to be the case, but we never know if it happens perfect, but now we're going to just really try to play the game how it was supposed to be played right. That's the best way to do it, play it, how it is so pretty much here.

It is all right now, you can only use it for baggage fees, change fees, so maybe like a cancellation fee or something like that from the airline that you chose and also food and drinks, MX platinum cards $ 200 a year. The Amex gold card is 100 know what I used to do was. I did every January first, I made sure - and I made sure every January first all over the world to some places January 2nd, but I don't care it had to be January 1st to make sure I wasn't getting Bambuser anything like that, or I was doing it Too early, depending on whatever timeframe, Amex is not as far as timezone, I made sure it was this January 1st or January 2nd of each year. So I got my credits this year for the gift cards.

I was thinking. I did anybody get out of the year and I've already used them and I got it for gift cards that I used it for flights, obviously, which is perfect. It's awesome $ 300 and in-flight money, which is awesome. It really helped me find value for paying the angle whew, okay, but now again, that's no more so baggage fees cancel fees, food and drinks.

No, it's gon na be really hard to do so. If you're somebody who has a credit card, maybe with your favorite airline because nine times out of ten you're picking your favorite airline and you probably have as far as your credit, then you probably have status with airline. Possibly, you probably have a co branded credit card, possibly with them. So most of the co branded airline cards gave you a check bags off the left for people, so you're really gon na be forced to either not have the co branded credit card which, to be honest, co-branded credit cards aren't really the best anyway, in my opinion, Or you're gon na be really forced, said: maybe pay for seat changes, maybe seat upgrades and maybe we're a case that you may have to cancel your flight.

You didn't get insurance, you have to reschedule your flight and you don't have maybe status to leave the fees or something like that. Then that'll really come in handy too. As far as the airline credits and things of that nature or you'll be forced to buy food and drinks on board, now I'll be honest with you, we have the MX platinum card. Centauri allows Priority Pass, I don't have to pay for food at the airport.

I haven't paid for food at the airport in almost two years, for the sole purpose that I have. The plane gives you food as far as my little snacks and bottles of water and stuff, like that, so I'll get a couple bottles of whatever I need more about thirsty, but for the food. I pretty much really like the choices that Amex gives to this tutorial. Outages and the snacks and stuff, and as far as the alcohol is concerned, you know it's open bar or you guys lose tip.

So you don't pay for the drinks. I'm not gon na force myself to drink myself into a COBOL on the plane, just to kind of utilize, the credit, so you really got ta kind of. I don't know what I'm gon na do yet, I'm probably gon na possibly cuz. I don't really have status with Tom Airlines at this point in time I like to try to find the best deal.

I don't have like those big statuses where things are waived, so I know you know slight change, so it's like chance. I'm gon na have to change my flight pay a fee or maybe pay for it upgrade to seat, or something like that. I may just kind of do it that way. I do have a couple airline credit cards right now, the dull, so MX card.

That gives me a check back, so I don't mean it for that. I'll also have the Berkeley card for America airline, so I don't need it for that either for them. So I'm really gon na probably be doing this. Maybe I don't know I got ta figure.

It out, but do I still find value in this between these cars for Amex, Platinum and exalt, a hundred percent I do as far as the MX platinum card is concerned, I get a lot of value, at least a thousand dollars or more even with losing this Credit as far as the gift card is concerned, I still find at least or more - and you know money or you know in value. I've done a video on that already and I'll put the link in the description. But if you have this car don't get discouraged, you just really got a fine value if there really makes sure that you have these cars for the sole reason that especially the platinum car, because it's a hefty fee, it's probably the most expensive. Besides, like the black card from like, I forget what company it is, but the luxury car besides that card, this is like the most probably best you know high in Angela fee card, besides the black card date, if he's ridiculous, I think it's almost $ 1000 or Something crazy like that, but besides them, this is a really hefty fee um.

You know you have other options like the Chase Sapphire Reserve in a city prestige, but with the AMX Platinum Card, you really got ta find the value, but they make it easy for you to riyadh status, hilton status, five points, four dollars tutorial on priority pass. There's so many purchase wilbur credits, sex with avenue credits, they still give you so many ways you can maximize and another big thing on what you guys also think about Amex offers are awesome. The referral links are awesome, even if you're somebody who's not. You know on TV or have a blog or have a youtube channel like myself, and you maybe just watch us, maybe maybe you just enjoy watching what we have to say.

You still have friends, and a couple of my subscribers tell me all the time that they've talked to her friend and they've got a referral link through the image platinum card. It's an adult's a card and they make money from that. So help your friends out help each other out get a value from it. Help me up I'll make sure I put my description in here for all link.

If you decide you want to apply for any AMEX card that you want to put the referral link. In my description, and also in my comment section that support my channel, so referral links and all the statuses and make sure you're using this car to the tea and, if you're not really or maybe consider, maybe downgrade. So that's my video today. As far as to change, let me know what you think about it: it is a bummer I'll, be honest.

It's a big bummer but is not like American, Express, really took this away from us. It was good he never supposed his way to begin with, and I guess isn't you know Morris time about, they obviously heard about it and something some set it out, whether it was the airline or a mix in the airline or just a mix, something shut it Down and kind of just stopped everything, but are you considering getting the Amex Platinum card a medical card or are you kind of shine away? Are you thinking about downgrading and keep in mind other options, and it's always really good to have your portfolio diversified so chase? Maybe City to really you know, pros and cons to each card.
