Do you guys agree with the video?? Is the card worth $695??
just started watching your content and i'm enjoying that you are calm and informative without overselling or doing too much. really enjoy the screenshots that show how CCs word their terms. ty!
The breakdown of its benefits, earning potentials, and hidden protections is spot-on. I've been considering this card for travel, and your insights really make the decision-making process easier. I'm curious, how does the Hertz president status actually work in practice, and have you personally found it valuable during your travels? Thanks for sharing your expertise, and looking forward to more content from you! 😊🛫
Thank you so much for the kind words!! Really appreciate you saying all of this. Regarding the Hertz president status, I used it in Kansas City and it was pretty cool! I don’t know about other cities but presidents status got us first dibs on the model 3 cars available and we would’ve got to cut the like if there was one (it was empty so this didn’t matter)
But yes, I LOVE this card. Totally recommend getting the business version if you can!
I agree! The breakdown of the card's benefits and earning potential is on point, making it easier for decision-making.
Thanks for sharing your expertise, and I'm excited for more content! 😊🛫👍
Your recognition of the benefits, earning potential, and hidden safeguards provided in the card's features is truly perceptive. It's fantastic that these insights are aiding your decision-making regarding its suitability for travel.
I concur! The detailed explanation of the card's advantages and potential earnings is spot-on, simplifying the decision-making process.
Love the detail in the video! Definitely getting the platinum card whenever I see that 150,000 SUB!!
AMEX is definitely the best out there!
It really is!
At the end of the day nothing beats pulling out the platinum when paying for something 😂
LOOL nothing like showing everyone you pay $695 for a piece of metal
Regarding the Rental Insurance, yes by default it's secondary..however the Premium Rental Coverage is $24 per rental period upto 42 days per rental. so if you enroll you can decline the rental insurance. or with the VX and CSR its all primary
Please tell me what flight you found for $16 grand going from Lax to Lhr 1 way 😂. I fly that route all the time, hell I just looked it up on Skyscanner for this comment & 1st class was $6400 & business was $4,000 🤔
2 flights. My girlfriend and I. LAX > BKK business class Cathay Pacific!
this card is really only worth it yr 1 with the bonus, unless you travel like alot.
