Does anyone know which credit card is better to subscribe Netflix or Hulu out of US bank Altitude Connect or Amex Platinum? Netflik has upgraded subscription for HD view for $19.99/month. Does either of these card pay full fees for the subscription? Your opinions please...Thanku

Just received my $19.99 credit from the AMEX Platinum for Hulu. Posted just a few days after the Hulu/Disney+ bundle transaction posted. This repeats every month.

I know the platinum covers Hulu, you get a 240 dollar credit per year- 20 a month. You only get 2% with the altitude connect and 5% with the cash +.

Something to think about is the Amex platinum has a 695 AF and the altitude connect has a 95 dollar AF after the first year.

If that's your only goal with these two cards I'd steer clear. The cash+ has no AF and offers 5% back on your quarterly spend (you get 2 5% categories)

How about taxes on your monthly subscription? Are they been taking cared too?

I have both cards- Amex Platinum and US bank Altitude Connect, but not sure which one I should use for my subscription with Netflik and Hulu...I don't watch both, very rarely Netflik, but since I am paying such hefty AF I think I should get the advantage of my benefits thru these fees/perks....

For AmEx you basically have a pot of money they allot you every month for those listed services. It keeps paying them until u haz no moar creditz. Tax included, etc.
