Why do get notifications from Uber to use up my amex credit before the month is up? I’ve been using Uber and paying with Uber cash all month long. Is it possible to use Uber cash without them using my amex credit?

IME they use the Cash expiring soonest. Are you sure you're using the same Uber account that has the credit?

I'm trying to figure out the DDF resale value of the various Platinum benefits:

Benefit                                   DDF resale rate
$200 Airline Fee Credit           80%             =$160
$200 Uber Cash                     ?
$240 Digital Entertainment     $15 x12        =$200
$200 Hotel Credit                   ?
$300 Equinox                         ?
$100 Saks                             $40 x 2        =$80
$179 CLEAR Credit                                    ~$20

to get the $200 hotel credit must one pay with cash or one can pay with points?

My mistake, I confused this with the temporary streaming credit
The going rate for this one seems to be ~$6.

Thank you for letting me know.
Are there any other "values" that you can help me figure out?

Got an email offer to upgrade my Biz Gold to a Platinum and get 150,000 points after 15k spend.
I don't see any limitation on already having a Biz Plat card? Is it possible to get that bonus even though I already have a Biz Plat?
Thank you!

I got an upgrade offer for my gold a while back while I held a biz plat. No issue at all. A friend of mine just received the offer you mentioned on his BB+ and he already has a BP. As long as it doesn't specify otherwise, take it.

Thanks! If I'm going to cancel by 1st BP, better to cancel before or after or no difference?

equinox is pretty much worthless.
Uber cash is hard because you have to hand over your cc Info evrey month
And I don't think anyone managed to sell the hotel (there is a thread just don't think there was a sale. I could be wrong)
