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.

I would like too join.
Just open your own AMEX Plat, get the 25K miles, and close it.
Clear your cookies/cache if you don't see the offer.

I opened this card and I'm waiting for the points to post so I can cancel it. I've seen mentioned that instead of canceling it's better to downgrade it to a free card. I called Amex and they said bec it's a charge card, the only card it can be downgraded to is the gold.    so I want to know:    Is it necesary to downgrade (and avoid closing) to still get lounge access? If yes, what can it be downgraded to?

100K was never a public offer.
And they never target me for anything...

25K is the best I've ever seen for a public offer.

you can sign up, get the card, the points will post at around 59 days, and then cancel right away. You are left with a cancelled card (lounge access) signup bonus, and no fee paid.  In the event that the points dont post by 60 days and the $450 is due, you can cancel before 90  days and only pay prorated fees

Haven't seen a first year free in many years.
If you signup, spend $1,000, get the 25K miles and then cancel after say 3 months, you will get a 75% refund of the annual fee so you'll only pay $111.
If you cancel within a month of getting the statement with the annual fee you won't have to pay the annual fee at all.

You have to transfer all of the points before you cancel.

They won't deduct the 25K after canceling.  If you have other AMEX Charge cards then you can leave them without worry.

So if I have a charge card that I earned points on, signed up for plat, got points, transfer ONLY the 25k from plat bonus, and close plat, my other Amex MR will remain??

You can even leave those 25K points, they won't take them away once they're earned.
As long as you have a valid Charge card open your points are safe.

This was referring to if you have no other charge cards?
