What benefits have you used?

[Anonymous]

I just started "getting serious" with my credit cards and I am interested on what benefits everyone has used.

As of today I have used my Amex Platinum to get:

Approved on Global Entry / fee should be refunded soon.

Starwood Preferred Gold Status w/ just 1 stay

Bought $25 airline gift card, seeing if it will be refunded by the $200 credit and then will max it out

Enrolled on Boingo internet

Enrolled on Priority Pass

Hertz Gold Plus status

A couple hundred more spend and I get 100k reward points.

They also waived my annual fee for being military. 

What benefits have you used from your cards?

I used my Delta Amex bonus miles to get $800 off plane tickets that I have booked for travel in the spring! I also managed to snag an airline upgrade once when I traveled back in June. I also got a great discount on a car rental from Hertz just for being an Amex Delta card holder.

I have used concierge services and price rewind on my Citi Diamond last Christmas and got $15 back.

I have redeemed multiple cash back offers from my BCE card (ITunes, JCPenney, Panera bread, etc -- these are purchaes I would have otherwise made, love that I could get cash back/statement credit).

This is on top of the usual cash back from BCE and Discover that I use for either statement credit or Amazon purchases!

Every time I come on this site I feel bad that I never travel during my vacations. Makes me start dreaming!

What's the point of a vacation without traveling? That's like a pizza without cheese.
