Tired of hearing bout Zync where where my Plat card holders

[Achase]

Zync Zync Zync .....lol I'm tired of all these Zync stories where are my plat card holders at....what were some of your experiences.

Well Zync is a fairly new product and because their are alot of rebuilders on this forum and the Zync is easier to qualify and get approved for, I believe you will be seeing more of "Znyc approved" threads.

I'm curious about Platinum as well.

I'm wondering if anyone knows how the companion flight ticket works? A friend of ours who had the card years ago said it he had to go through Amexs' agency and it nothing was ever available on the dates he needed. Also heard that the initial flight costs more through Amex than if you booked it yourself elsewhere.

But as this was years ago, wondering if anything's changed?

Many people here are rebuilders and ZYNC is a good way to get in with AMEX.

I am a plat member and although I have not taken advantage of that benefit as of yet. U do have to book through Amex and it is more expensive plus there are no more domestic flights included The free companion ticket Is exclusive to international flights only

I am trying to become a Platinum member, but my grandfather has a black card (I wonder if he will make me an AU?).

A lot of us do not care to dish out $450/year for it unless you travel a ton. Even then, I feel the AMEX Gold Premiere Rewards would be better. I've had the option to do AMEX Platinum but I cannot justify a $450 fee. Plus, if I wanted to make someone an AU it's $175! That's ridiculous.

But if someone would like to give me $450, I'll be glad to get one and let y'all know how it goes.

The only advantage besides travel in the past for the platinum is you had to have the platinum to get invited to black card.  Now it's basically open to anyone who can spend the bucks so why bother... Especially here in LA, everyone has platinum, the Zync is so new, I have had many people think it was higher up the chain and wanted to know what it was, etc.
