Topic Wiki


The main benefit you get is lounge access, a steal for $100 USD P.A - I bought a year off superultimate and I have enjoyed using it ever since.

Benefits
American Express Centurion Lounge Benefits | Unlimited Entry + 1 Guest
Lufthansa Business Lounge Access or Senator Lounge Access when flying in Business | Unlimited Entry No Guest
Delta SkyClub Access when flying on Delta | Unlimited Entry No Guest
Virgin Australia Business Lounge Access (Even for US cards, Australian ID though) | Unlimited Entry No Guest
Priority Pass Select | Unlimited Entry + 2 Guests for lounge access globally

Risks
You will need to lodge some personal information to the seller, in this case superultimate has been fantastic and would trust him going forward
You will need to submit your SSN BUT to American Express, not to the seller. If you dont have an SSN, a passport will do just fine, even if it isnt US issued (I used my AU passport)

How it is done
Assuming that you meet the requirements for becoming an Authorized User, the seller will send a request to American Express. You will need to call them to finalize the ID verification but apart from that its all taken care of from superultimate. You will receive the card to your home address, or you can have superultimate forward the card internationally through UPS.

After that, you will be given a log in into American Express, feel free to register for Priority Pass and when you receive both cards, its all done.

Oh one more thing, I don't plan on flying this month so there is a chance that the first person to sign up with me I will be willing to let them chose the airline and spend the 200 dollars (just for 2010)

Truth is my niassayon prob isn't as great as most other people. The only airline I fly (basically) is cathay to vancouver (from jfk) and I know the manager, so I get all plat benefits plus when I fly them anyway so I don't have such a tayva so I won't keep the card unless others want it for the benefits.

You can get the lounge pass at the check in before security and then lose the gun.

I am pretty sure that most people on this forum disagree with you and you can look at the posts in this thread you will see this conversation going on and decide that. And there are also things that go on here that are not lying and cheating i dont know why you say that.

this is not lying or cheating ....if they didnt want the card to work they would make that the policy. instead they said that we can use the card even after u cancel it.

They didn't say one way or the other, but the fact is that it works even when canceled.
If they didn't want it to work then it wouldn't.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Amex never "said" that you can use the card even after you cancel it. Why not call them up and ask them if you think thats what they will say? Im not saying its correct or incorrect to use it, nor am i looking to debate it (we did that several months ago in one of the older threads). All i am saying is that Amex never said any such thing. The fact that it works is likely a glitch or they choose to overlook it. Perhaps their cheshbon is similar to that of a sign up bonus on a cc. Or a 30 day trial of some software or program with a free gift...offer a perk to get you to sign up. If you cancel, you keep the perk. The rationale is that you may sign up and decide you like it.
I do have 2 amex platinums (1 for the wife) and do not plan on canceling them for the first year. When i do cancel it, i will discuss the matter with my Rov. I will also not post here what my Rov says as each person who believes it is even a shaila should ask their own Rov.

Effectively limiting spend to $0, which is what I said.

So same difference.

But you don't have to wait with mailing the cards  until you close it.
