    The reason the platinum is worth it with 3x points is because the platinum has no limit on amount of money that can be used to redeem that 3x. For the cobalt per year you can only receive 5x point upto 30,000 dollars spent on dining and groceries etc. so if you are more wealthy and spend 100,000 plus per year. The platinum gives better rewards for the rich.

    • @AnimeBeefRandoms
      @AnimeBeefRandoms Рік тому +2

      You would still use the cobalt for the first 30k regardless of how much you spend because you're always 60k MR points ahead, which is well worth the annual fee of the cobalt.

    • @kahluacoke
      @kahluacoke 3 роки тому +1

      Good question. I called Amex about linking membership reward points for two different cards and the agent seemed very aloof. He said the two card reward programs aren't quite the same so basically I could not currently accumulate points under one account. He did kind of hint to call them back after card changes on August 16th and that seems to give the impression that they would be able to do it after that date. I suspect you won't have an issue if both cards are the gold and platinum as those two card programs I believe are the same just different earning multipliers. Other than linking cards to collect under one membership reward account I believe you would have to transfer the points out to an airline program to ensure you don't lose out if you cancel the card.

    • @kahluacoke
      @kahluacoke 3 роки тому +1

      Now that the changes have occurred I spoke to an Amex representative. What was told to me is that the cards have to be in the same tier in order to be able to pool points under one membership rewards account. Platinum is a notch above Gold so you can not combine, Gold is above Green so again you can not combine. Apparently the Green, Colbalt, and Business Edge are all the same tier level so it is possible to pool points there. Seems a little ridiculous on Amex's part. Given that explanation, if you are a churner, it is best to transfer out your points to an airline or hotel partner program.

    I know Amex is re-introducing the Green Card in Canada but I believe it will be a credit card and not a charge as it is replacing the preferred ones. The Gold Amex is probably the one that will get a retool as the benefits seem weak now compared to the Colbalt. I can see a metal Gold Card as they do that in US. Hopefully whatever they do to it does not result in a huge bump in annual fee.

    Easily the best credit card in Canada. I've had mine for around 3 months and have already accumulated 21k MRS points. Now that those are going to become regular MR points and I can transfer them to Aeroplan. My RBC Avion Visa Infinite (previous go to CC) is a joke by comparison. My only question about the changes are about the mobile device insurance. I need to find out if it applies if you switch your monthly financing/billing to the card or if it has to be charged from the start of the finance charges/purchase date. That's the only fuzzy part because insurance companies like to be sneaky about that.

    • @Bandersnatch786
      @Bandersnatch786 3 роки тому +4

      So as an update to this insurance question I had, I got my answer from American Express. The phone needs to be purchased AFTER August 16th, 2021 which also means that the monthly billing charge needs to be put on your AMEX on or after that date as well. Sucks for me for the next two years...

    so I'm new to all this cc stuff. Being a recent graduate I've only had two credit cards. I am currently using RBC Avion Visa Platinum with an annual fee of $120. I was thinking of changing it to the Avion infinite but even that i do not know the difference between the two. All I know is that in order to get the infinite card, i would need a minimum income of 60k. So if i were able to apply for the American express cobolt card. Would i use that card as my main? what about my rbc cc? Would i just cancel it? But it does still have all my points accumulated over time. and is there a reason to have two credit cards? I need some help lol thanks! This vid is amazing!

    Great card…until you have to call customer service. AMEX will always take the merchant’s side. Don’t know how to handle basic situations. I’d hate to be in a situation where I’m travelling, loose my card and then have to call customer service. Instead of helping, their main concern, why I didn’t contact them before I traveled. I also paid for a service I never received. The merchant sent me supporting documents to forward to AMEX, proving they didn’t receive the payment. AMEX closed my case saying, we paid them. AMEX did not make it easy to cancel after the second situation. I had to talk to an agent who begged and begged me to stay, however would not resolve an easy issue.

It is still a good card to get, but you wouldn't be getting that many points. Right now they have an offer where you can get 2,500 points for each month that you spend 500$, totaling 20K for 1 year. It's a pretty good deal especially if you spend a lot on gas then you'd reach that amount in no time!

    Quick question: If we transfer all points accumulated with the Amex Cobalt to the Aeroplan program, can we close the Amex Cobalt card right after or the card needs to be active in order to use the Aeroplan points?

      You could close it after - but it’s a great card to keep open.

    ricky are u sure its a 1:1 ratio for the conversion? if yes confirmed that make other AP ccs obsolete if ur hoarding APs! new cobalt owners will be able to get 5000aps for like only 500$ in groceries

    I still prefer Scotiabank Amex Gold. Just apply points to travel charges. 3x on gas. 5x eats. Streaming 3x too or something.

    Currently I have cobalt but I have applied platinum as well and was planning to cancel Cobalt. Is that a good decision?

    Hey what you said about applying in july now and preempting the 12.99 fee to 10$ for the year isn't true. I applied today and they said it would be 12.99 effective immediately after august 16th.

    Hi Prince of Travel, what is the income requirement for this card? By the way, I am more interesting in your English speaking. How did you learn English very well?

    • @PrinceofTravel
      @PrinceofTravel  3 роки тому +1

      It was one of my first languages! And no income requirement.

    Is it better to go for Amex platinum or Amex Cobalt if you’ve no history with Amex?

    Does the preferred pricing tier (ie get better) when you have a higher end AP card? I'm seeing YVR-NRT business more at 90k pts than 55k. I don't have a Visa Inf Privilege

    • @PrinceofTravel
      @PrinceofTravel  3 роки тому +1

      That's because you're looking at AC flights which are dynamic. Hunt for the ANA flights which are fixed at 55k.

    Just reading the fine print regarding the 5x and 3x points. These are only available for the first 12 months. After that it's 1x on every type of purchase.
