Retention Call: Amex Business Platinum Card (2021)

I love, love, love my Business Platinum Card from American Express OPEN charge card/

The big $595 annual fee posted to my most recent Business Platinum Card from American Express statement.

I really like the Amex Business Platinum Card. (As a whole, I’m an Amex fan). Its points earnings are meh — but the 35% Pay with Points rebate is great. (It was once even better: 50%) In fact, René encouraged me to get this card and I consider it some of the points advice he’s ever given me.

American Express offered me a big, giant nothing last year. Nonetheless, I decided to lob a call into Amex to see if there were any retention bonuses on the table this year.

Choose Your Amex Platinum Card or Gold Card Airline Incidental Credit (a Rookie Wednesday Post)

The Platinum Card from American Express, the American Express Gold Card, and the Business Platinum Card from American Express.

Two weeks remain in January. This is especially important for cardholders of the personal/consumer Platinum Card from American Express, the Business Platinum Card from American Express, and personal/consumer American Express Gold Card.

Which cards get how much credit each year? Does every airline participate? What charges are eligible? Let’s tackle those questions!

Why and How Delta Flyers Can Benefit from Chase Ultimate Rewards

Rene's Chase Ultimate Rewards cards

Please note: this post has been edited to reflect changes to certain credit card names, images, and earning structures.

For better or worse, I’m a loyal Delta flyer. Delta’s co-branded American Express cards sort of come with that territory. But Chase’s credit cards, however, are starting to pique my interest (especially now that I’m finally dipping under 5/24!) when it comes to actual point accrual and redemption. And their low to no annual fees sure are interesting, too.

Rookie Wednesday: Positioning Trips to Start an Elite Mileage Run

Rene's Points Rookie travel post.

Please note: this post has been edited to reflect changes to certain credit card names, images, and earning structures.

Discovering a great mileage run deal from your home airport or city is always fantastic.

But what if you live somewhere like Omaha, Bismarck, or Casper — and most of the good runs begin in Chicago, New York, Vegas, or somewhere in California?

Take a positioning trip to wherever your mileage run starts!

While not ideal, it may be your only choice. (Don’t forget Adam at Juicy Miles can personalize an MQM or MQD run for you!)

“But that’s more time and money!” you may fear.

Time, yes.

Money? Maybe not. Or at least, not as much as you think. Using some points and credit card benefits, it can be done.
