Yeah, I ordered the replacement white gold and reordered the original gold within minutes of receiving it. Hideous. By the way, thank you for reaffirming the value I'm getting. 👍
I prefer to use the dunkin credit inside the store because their loose coffee and/or kcups are about $8 or so. I'm not a heavy coffee drinker but I enjoy it on occasion, so this will supply me with plenty of coffee.
An important point! The 4x on groceries dos not include wholesale. As someone who likes to shop wisely, any suggestions for a card that gives 4X in wholesale?
I use my Citi double cash card at wholesales / subscriptions/ utilities and everything else. And citi custom for gas only since it’s 5x up to $500 a month.
The complete lack of Dunkin locations in Washington & the PNW puts this card in peril for a lot of us I'd say. I wish it was a Coffee credit which operates more like the Dining credit, so there would be more options to choose from to use it. For now I just have to cling to the few Resy locations near me to break even. I might have to cancel and find another grocery card.
If you don't have any Dunkin's nearby, you can load $7 every month to your virtual Dunkin card in the Dunkin app using your AMEX Gold card and you'll see the credit after a 2-3 days in your account. That way you're "stacking" those $7 in the Dunkin card and whenever you travel to an area with a Dunkin, you can use those stacked credits that you would've otherwise not have and lost every month.
Hi, great video! Quick question: I’m considering getting the Chase Sapphire Preferred card. If I get the Sapphire Preferred first, then apply for the Freedom Flex, would I still qualify for the welcome bonus on the Freedom Flex? Or would it be better to get the Freedom Flex first and then upgrade to the Sapphire Preferred? Additionally, if I later upgrade from the Sapphire Preferred to the Sapphire Reserve, would I still be eligible for any upgrade offer? Your advice would be greatly appreciated!
you can get the freedom flex welcome bonus even after getting the sapphire preferred bonus this is what I did I got the sapphire preferred then the freedom unlimited has worked out great for me!
Sapphire and freedom dont affect each other’s bonuses. If you get a bonus on a sapphire preferred though, you have to wait 48 months and close the account before you could get a bonus on the sapphire reserve
tried to see if i could pre qualify for the amex golf card and got denied for too many new bank cards :(. hopefully i can get accepted at the beginning of 2025
Long time listener, first time caller. I need help which anyone who reads this message. All of the videos talk about how to earn membership rewards fast, but there are relatively few that, I feel, show how to use them effectively. Granted, there're a lot that show how to use them and that show examples of people getting Great value. But I'm 7 months into having my AMEX gold and I'm starting to feel like these points are not valuable at all. I'm concerned that they certainly don't match my travel style and I travel out of the country all the time. Across both membership rewards points and my Marriott points, I feel like I'm consistently seeing a lot of point systems yielding about .6 cents per point. If I don't necessarily like staying in big hotel chains and resorts or if I'm not traveling first class or business class? Or if I'm going to the northern coast of South America rather than the western coast of Europe or the eastern coast of Asia, should I be using Amex at all?
Dunkin credit is absolute disappointment with this card. ALL gold card users i know in NYC don’t use Dunkin at all, even though Dunkin is on every corner here. So wasted credit.

Oh, my. This CC was on my consideration list…until they increased the AF. No longer on the list.

AAA credit card gives 3x at wholesale clubs. It's a Visa, so it's usable at Costco. I don't believe there is a 4x on the market.

Honestly what a dud of a card. Worthless coupon book. Such a shame to see what this card has turned into…
I changed back from white gold to the OG. Much better. White gold is awful.
I was so disappointed when I switched to WG. It looked so cool in the pictures!

Its probably because of your handicap is too high
