Amex Platinum card worth it?

[75th]

Never been much into credit cards, but now that I'm racking up a good amount of bidness expenses every month I figured something like this would make sense.

$450 annual fee is a bit steep, but I get a shitload of points if I spend $1,000 within the first 3 months - which I can do. Apparently a shitload of travel benefits too.

Anyone have experience with this particular card? Worth it or no? Just applied and was approved - should have the card in a week.

Im not a PTA making $60k a year so I cant afford the blique yet.

Maybe someday...

you gotta put 100k a yr through your card to qualify for a blaque...I think the annual fee is something obscene like 5k a yr..no bs

 

[shirlene29]

I was wrong..its 2500 a yr
250k a yr through your card
and a one time 5k initial fee

Awards, benefits, concierge services, etc.

I'd say yes. My mom used one for years in her business, one arm of which is a RE brokerage and the other the RE investment side. It does works out to be profitable. The green doesn't provide enough potential perks, and the black is more about prestige than actual fiscal sense. Unless you're the working rich, or place a high premium on prestige, platinum.

 

[shirlene29]

yeah, FTR I've never even seen a amex black

and I'd agree with willows breakdown of the cards and benefits

I know a lot of ppl with amex gold that really like them and for the younger set the zync or blue

the green does what I want it to but my goto card is my navy federal cu cash rewards card..love that card but its my only 5 figure limit card too

i got a plat card. although up here in canada mine has no yearly fee and all the benefits that i know of that i can get. travel, insurance, whatever else. i like it just because it makes me feel better than those who dont. although i think you have to make 80 grand a year to have one
