As many of you all know the American Express Platinum card comes with a $100 Saks Fifth Avenue credit per year; split into two $50 credits for the first half of the year, January to June; and the second half July to December. With the split of the $100 Saks credit, it can make it really difficult to actually use at Saks Fifth Avenue, because even though $50 can be a lot of money, the items at Saks Fifth Avenue can be way more expensive than that; even things on sale. Making the $50 essentially useless. However, I still wanted to see if it was possible. So, in this video, I phoned in a good friend of mine @ItsMeCJ to see if he could find me something awesome to use my Saks Fifth Avenue credit on instead of a gift card. This video will show you how that went.

I usually just get travel size colognes or plain t shirts
Thanks for the info + video!
I used my $50 credit to buy a nice frying pan that was originally $50 but on sale for $40. With $9.95 for shipping and sales tax it came to just over $52.
$50 gift card works fine
Yep! I just recommended not a straight $50 in case Amex gets wise, haha
Does it? I want to buy one online but they do $50 and $75. There's no Saks near me, so this will have to do
@@DarthRaider in store only, online doesn’t code correctly
i used to buy fancy shave cream
Gift card for the win. Maybe if you stack that credit for ten years you can get that jacket 😂
I like these types of videos, more collabs please!
LOVE the video❣️ 😂👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
This store was too expensive for me 😬😬😬. Fun times shopping with Calby tho. Thanks again for the gift card buddy 😉
I always get 3 pairs of Bombaa low cut socks 😂
Usually get good home goods they are great gifts with the 50 dollar credit
For the credit, I don't look for the cheapest items I can buy because it feels like I'm just using the $50 for the sake of it. I've already used my $50 for July - Dec. I look for items that I genuinely want but just look for sales. I bought Saks branded Penny Loafers that are made in Italy. Marked down from $400 to $150 and a Theory sheerling jacket that was priced down from $600 to $200. Don't buy overpriced socks and underwear, buy quality items that you'll be proud to own and wear.
Haha fun video! Skincare or gift cards are usually the answers for me.
LOL. That was fun guys!!!!
It would be interesting to see what a Saks Fifth Ave employee would have suggested for under $50.
Damnnn, all of these clothes look like things CJ wears anyway haha, he probably could make use of the Saks Credit 😂
This was fun! I’m trying to buy some steak burgers on Saks but they won’t let me right now, too bad they don’t have that in store ha.
Great video Calby!
Bought some good housewares items each time. Or even cologne on sale.
You guys are hilarious!
I usually get something that's a little bit more than $50 to maximize the benefit (typically something for the kitchen or the house otherwise). But it is kind of a pain looking. Thanks for the gift card idea. I just presumed that AMEX would flag that immediately. I will try it in this half of the year.
item #1 should be GC 😂
I just got the platinum not to long ago 175k offer, CJ that's the next card for you
Curve card end tomorrow, Calby.
Yep, remember to use your Curve Cash!
@@CalbyNg Thanks, now what I have in the curve cash also what i have on the curve credit balance. Any June statement balance is also due tomorrow, so better pay off now.
@@aviationnine-tailedfox2216Yep, good all good tips
@@CalbyNg thanks
@@CalbyNg btw, i think tmr you should make a community post like r.i.p curve or the fall of the trifecta. First Bilt, now Curve.
I didn’t know I could buy gift cards. I been buying $50 pair of underwear and socks every 6 months
How is CJ not first here?
Yo, I’m in the video so I’m first by default 🤷🏾♂️
@@ItsMeCJ Can’t argue with that. Here you go. 🥇
@@Ritchie_The_CEO 🙌🏾 🙌🏾
Bro I need that 175k offer 👀
Right! With 10x back at restaurants 😎
@@CalbyNg should I take the 150k sub or keep shooting for 175k
@@carlosleshawnhmmm 150k ain’t bad but it really depends when you need it. If you don’t need it now then I would wait. Remember to check around Reddit; some welcome bonuses are attached to referral links.
@@CalbyNg bet, thanks!
Fun video and collaboration Calby!🫵
Thanks Cesar!
Amex nakes you use useless credits, which'll otherwise neve use. Thats why cancelled all amex coupon books, whe i cant cash the credits.
