AMEX Platinum....Again

Now that a lot of us here went after and recieved the AMEX Platinum 100k offer, is there a guide to maximize this cards benefits and rewards? Loopholes and/or secret gems? Things to avoid? Bad vs good services offered? Anything to bring some more awareness and help about the card is always appreciated. Thanks guys!!

Re: AMEX Platinum....Again

Quick question...when do you pay the AF $450?

Will be paid the first payment or end of the year?

If is the end of year, could you just close the card before 1 year?

Thanks

1st statement AF post 

Before you app think...
Have you done your research of the CC?
Does it fit your spending?
Do you have a plan for the bonus w/o going into debt?
Can you afford the AF?
Do you know the cards benefits? Is it worth the HP?
