After some more back and forth with Uber they added credit.
Lucky you, now you should have $70 for this month. Make sure to use it.

Got a plat and added to uber account, not seeing the credit anywhere. I have another plat so I am familiar.
Uber cs is not helpful.
Tried deleting and adding again, but still not.

Any ideas?
What credit?

Does amex plat cover lost/stolen cell phone? If yes how would I go by claiming it.

That you purchased recently with the card, or just as insurance? AFAIK they don’t offer general  cell phone insurance, though you may be covered under one of their general warranties/protections

The WeWork thing can be amazing for anyone who has a small office now.

The Israeli footprint is big.

Does anyone know if the “Platinum Global Access” gives private office access?

Thanks. They claim it has been sent with rush delivery and should be here within 24-48 hours but I’m not holding my breath. They did expedite my personal Plat and Aspire last week without a request..

IME they were only able to expedite if the application was pending and they needed to process it, if it was auto approved they claimed they're unable to touch it.

When i called they told me the same thing, but then the rep checked and said she could see that it had already been processed as rushed.

Possibly this has something to do with it being the end of December, and it’s good for their accounting?

Platinum cards are always expedited, even without request.

I had my BP expedited shipping with auto approval.
Sounds like it automatically gets expedited shipping.

But some on this thread said you can’t request expedited, which seems to mean it doesn’t come automatically. Did you apply for it at the end of December?
