Upgraded to Amex Platinum (pics)

[JMapleton]

This weekend I upgraded from Gold to Platinum and I just got my Plat card in the mail today.

With it, I get:

VIP Lounge Access
Concierge
Bragging rights

Annual fee is $450.

 

[Corporate Thug]

bragging rights for paying $450 / YR for a membership fee? lol

I knew the OP was JM as soon as I read the title.

It is stupid and a waste of money, but I've always wanted one. I know I know.

Just think, you could have purchased 2.25 pairs of jeans with that fee.

It can be of use and sort of worth it if you travel all the time and use the services and perks. But you don't sound and look the type.

1. congrats

2. how far is that away from the amex titanium? you know, the card that they actually craft out of a block of titanium

Wait a minute, you've got me thinking.

No seriously, they offered me 50,000 rewards points for signing up, so it's like getting the first year for free.

Thought someone one here had an Amex Centurion black card...

 

[Cheesetogo]

I guess if you fly a lot it might be worth while. Otherwise I think I'd probably pass on it.

My dad got this with the yearly fee waived + like something 80k points added on. He got an offer for the titanium one as well but they wouldn't waive the fee for it.

 

[RichieZ]

sucker my fee is $320 (grandfathered in) and I see they cheapened up the packaging

ps: wow iphone 4 takes horrible low light shots

There is Green, Gold, Platinum, and Centurion (black). However the Centurion is made of titanium, that may be what you're talking about.

It's true though. :thumbsup:

I look good in them though. Don't be jealous.

$450 a year? Yowzer! I'll stick to my green card.

Yeah my packaging wasn't nearly as awesome.

I got a small book (seen in pic) and the card was in an envelope.

Aren't you a virgin?

 

[VinylxScratches]

Considering that everyone on AT make 1 million dollars, 450 bucks is beer money. Everyone knows this.

 

[JMapleton]

Aren't you a virgin?

So is my Platinum card. But it won't be for long.

 

[Kirby]

Aren't you a virgin?

I don't think hookers take credit cards, even Amex Platinums.

 

[RocksteadyDotNet]

So is my Platinum card. But it won't be for long.

If I were you I wouldn't on here bragging about owning a credit card.

 

[Leros]

How is that card worth the money? I assume you get something out of it worth greater than $450.
