Re: Amex application

I think I've heard of this happening. But remember there are no guarantees. Just always be prepared to take a HP in a situation where you assume it would be a SP, as it can happen at any time.

Re: Amex application

Generally you can get away with 1 HP if you apply for a charge card and revolver within a short period of time.

 

If you apply for multiple revolvers, however, they will put the 2nd one on hold for 5 days and do a new HP for it.

Re: Amex application

Perks usually makeup for the fee. If you don't need the perks, then it's not the right card for you. Smiley Wink

Re: Amex application

Usually travelers use the perks that come with such cards. Airport lounges are not open and you travel enough you know that it is worth the price.

Last time I flew I paid for a lounge access, got to eat, drink and took a shower. It was evening flight so when I reached my destination late night I didn't feel exhausted.

Travelers also love to get access to TSA Pre or GlobalEntry if they travel internationally. It saves you time and energy. If you don't need this, those cards aren't for you.

I travel few times a year for leisure and find these perks valuable.

Agreed. I don't even fly that often (2-3x per year in the states, 1-2 times per year to Asia) and it's still totally worth it to me for a few of them. As long as you make full use of the perks, that is.
