Inc. hotels booked through fine hotels and resorts?

Looks like the fee will be raised to $550.

Yes. But they aren't grandfathered into that fee. It will also be going up.

So basically, the $200 Uber credit is supposed to somehow negate the additional
$100 AF. Supremely annoying.

I can't believe these are the only changes. How is this supposed to compete with CSR?

How many people are going to use the 5x on hotels when you can only book through amex, and don't receive points or stays for your booking?

Unlimited free gold cards is awesome for amex offers. Considering the gold card only gets 5 free aus, this is good stuff.
