Yes, I know this is a dumb question. Please forgive me in advance. I know there were even MS posts on this. I just can't remember.

If you have the platinum business and you book J or F through amex's own OTA, you get 50% miles credit back?

35% unless you got grandfathered in, possibly through the end of May.

Didn't post for me automatically. It's 14 days since, so I'm calling Amex now for manual credit. How soon does a manual credit post? Will they ask me for proof or something?...

Family member is thinking of closing their business plat card to avoid the fee. Any chance they'd get travel credit if they buy AA gc's tonight and then cancel before midnight?

Can anyone here comment on the Centurion Lounge at the Barclays Center? Going to a game and want to get in, do i need to be there before the game so they dont run out of space? and it says one guest per card, has anyone tried using a wifes card as well and begging them to let one extra in? http://www.barclayscenter.com/premium-seating/centurion-suite-by-american-express

yes you need to be there earlyish or they run out of wristbands and unless your wife is there you cannot use her card they check ID so if you bring her ID and give it to a random I guess you can get 2 more passes

Hi all, this is my first post! (originally posted over in MB Plat thread, but realized it's not very active there)

I'm new to CC churn and looking to get my first Platinum card before my trip next month. hoping to get some tips/opinions from the experienced users on here :)   

I got an offer for 100k bonus for regular Plat in the mail - debating if I should apply for the MB plat or just take the 100k offer for regular plat, or apply to both since MB Plat is going away

My concerns are...
1. I won't get the 100k offer for regular Plat in the future (If i get the MB Plat first)
2. Can't double dip on the airline fee for MB Plat if they convert the card on Jan 1, 2019

Do you guys know if they ever make the 100k offer to current/previous Plat card holders?

I don't have any American Express card right now, is there another card that you guys would recommend for me to apply with my Plat application? (so that I can keep my points if i have a gap between Plat cards)

Thanks!!

it's random, so go, some don't. very odd. even if they post as the same charge (which not all do).
