Is it hard to get accepted to the amex plat?

i think you gotta pay a lot of money as a annual fee

Yitzter · « **Reply #23 on:** May 30, 2008, 06:06:29 PM »

yea about 450, something like that. Is that the only CC that can get you into the lounges?

$375 although they have a promo now $75 off, they used to have a additional promo 5000 EQM"s + the $75 off could be you can still get it I think it was targeted though

Nice, I think I am going to go for it. It's basically the same as the amex plat, right?

Thanks for the link Levi, 375$, meh. If I cancel before the year is over, is the fee prorated?

yitzter its not as good as plat as it ONLY gives you continental not aa, northwest etc.

as far as spg gold you dont have to make any excuses just go to the platinum website for the promo code

Yitzer, I'm confused. Going through the board I see like 5 CC already that your getting...
You do know that you can't get everything at once, right?

Incorrect.

The AMEX plat will get you into AA/CO/DL/NW clubs if you are traveling with that airline that day.

The CO Pres Plus is a full CO PC membership, so it will get you into any CO/NW club regardless if you are flying that day (free airport security pass), and into DL if you are flying any Skyteam airline that day.

i stand corrected however i can only speak for myself when i say that its not worth it for me to start changing terminals before a flight when im not flying continental (i usually fly from big airports) and i usually fly aa so for ME and people like me, amex plat is far superior

No argument-For most people AMEX Plat is superior, especially because of the many benefits that come with it such as SPG Gold and lost item protection.

But the CO pres plus card has its merits, including elite access, Avis pres club, and the ability to access overseas partner lounges such as in TLV that AMEX Plat won't cover.

Agreed is there anyway to split the costs as ive laid out before with the platinum? is anybody interested in doing it with me if its possible?

will spg gold by itself get you in to any lounge at the airport

SPG gold wont even get you into a lounge at a Starwood hotel
