We have the personal Platinum cards. Credits are a turn-off; zero interest in chasing coupons. We don’t ride-share monthly, we book hotels direct for better rates and discounts, and the Resy restaurants in both cities where have homes are either mediocre chains or not places we eat. As long as they don’t muck up the companion certificate, the value prop is still there for us, but they are on a watch list.

Re the Resy credit, I’m not sure that you actually need to make reservation to get the credit. You just need to go to a resy restaurant. We went to a dinner yesterday at a resy restaurant without a reservation and I tipped a bit extra to have the bill divided up between my delta biz plat, delta plat, and my marriott brilliant card. A bit nutty, but I wanted my credits! I will advise if I don’t get my credits.

🔺id consider this a nerf. CC issuers raising their AF's in exhanges for credits temind me of thode entertainment books that you would buy from kids fundtaising for yheir school. The order of these cards in terms of value is probably Palt, Reserve, Gold, although none of these are on my radar since i almost never fly delta. Additionally, I would hate Chase to take a page from this playbook. Couponing just restricts consumers from spending the way they'd want to spend. While the chase cards may look marginally pricier, I'm not chasing coupons. Especially since most of these are monthly credits. Sometimes being simple is great.

Otherwise, I feel like I need to force myself and pay extra, for credits that are $10-15 or below, because delivery fee is pretty much $10 already.

I'm not a fan of the coupon book strategy. The whole idea of, "You pay $100 now but sometime in the next year you can get $150 back!" - like it's some kind of investment. What it amounts to, for me at least, is having to remember to deal with the credits each month, quarter, half, etc. I see it more as, "Buy it now and try to remember to use it sometime later this year depending on the date." I'd MUCH rather just buy it when I need it even if I'm going to lose $50 across that year. I'm more likely to save $$ by not preemptively buying something I really otherwise wouldn't buy.

@@headlibrarian1996 That actually happens quiet a lot. Amex Platinum, I think, has a $200 hotel credit for Fine Resorts (or something along those lines). If you go through their portal to try to use it, you better have the exact right thing selected in order to get the credit because, otherwise, you get zip. The first time I did it I thought I had done it right and then called in after I didn't get the credit. They told me the hotel wasn't some kind of special resort. Basically, they lead you to believe that using the $200 credit is easy and it's a bit more like a special skill you have to learn and remember. Anyway, I finally got tired of dealing with that nonsense (coupon books) and started dumping the Amex cards a few months back.

I feel Chase Sapphire Reserve is superior and more flexible. I dislike too much of a grab bag approach to perks or the requirement that you use their specific travel portal to get a credit. And many of the benefits are broken up to monthly amounts so you might not benefit fully. Overall the annual fee creep is getting a bit out of control. The more complicated and niche they make the benefits, the less likely card holders will remember them all and take full advantage. And I think that's what they are counting on. As others have noted, it feeling more like a hodge podge coupon book.

We wouldn't get the membership if Amex didn't credit it, but we do get use out of it. I figure we save about $5 a month on gas (we're retired and don't have to tank up often), and the subscription is more than that.

The Delta Stays credit alone is easy enough to use, and the value is greater than the increase in AF. Resy in LA tends to do better, nicer restaurants many of which we already love and so that's an easy one to get value from. I use rideshare at least twice a month for my work trips. And the expanded companion pass is a win. Effective AF for me is well below zero even without having to use all the credits every month. No brainer to keep cards as long as this is the structure.
@lizzy22636 ай бұрын
I got the delta platinum card 6 months ago before any major changes took place. Since then they have removed lounge access entirely, have increased the annual fee, and have added credits that don’t cater towards my personal needs/wants. I think the resy and rideshare credits don’t make much sense if you don’t live in a larger city, and I would have to go out of my way to spend much more than I usually would to get $10 worth of value every month. To me, that’s an immediate no. The enhanced companion certificate is enticing, and I like that you can now use it to travel outside of the contiguous US, but you’re still limited to certain fare classes which in reality still limits this benefit. I think I’ll keep it around for another year to see if I can get some value out of the companion certificate, but I’ll get rid of it if I don’t.

🔺️ I may be in the minority, but these changes actually work really well for me. The value of the Platinum & Reserve cash-wise still comes down to using the companion certificate. The expanded options provide more flexibility, as long as I can actually use it. If one travels enough to justify any Delta card over Blue then you're going to need hotels. I usually use Delta Stays to book hotels anyway, (you don't need to be flying to use), and 1-2 nights will take care of the credit. Eliminates the AF increase + $50. Easy to do as a one-and-done, so I don't consider it "coupon book" like the rideshare & Resy credits, which I'll seldom if ever use. The multipliers on the business side are nice, though not a big part of our business spend. Will keep the card for now, but if I can't utilize the companion certificates then I'll consider other options.

I had planned on cancelling the business and downgrading the personal. I just noticed that $5000 MQD hit my Skymiles account giving me Silver Medallion status through 2025 with no spend! Silver Medallion is not worth keeping the cards but an interesting data point. Fingers crossed Amex does not claw back the MQDs when I close/downgrade the accounts.

I just checked the terms and Amex says they have the right to revoke the the MQDs if the account is closed within 60-days of MQM deposit.

3500 mqd boost, useful credits, and it scared a bunch away? Yeah I’m good, less crowded lounges and my status will mean something again

Hi Sebby. Thanks for the info. So last night when I was trying to check out my delta flight from NY to london, I noticed that on the payment screen there is a dummy offer for the delta gold card with 50k miles + $400 flight statement credit, which makes me want to apply for it. Do you think this is a good offer? I am not a loyal customer for any airlien company and I don't fly that often, maybe about 2 times a year for travel. I'm thinking to get the offer and downgrade to delta blue if no retention offer

🔺I'm really over these "monthly" credits, if they were semi-annual or quarterly its at least worth some consideration. But Monthly makes it feel like an active chore to find some reason to use it every month.
