Good thread! I actually just got my first platinum cards, business and personal! Has Anyone ever been successful getting status upgrades for airlines/ hotels by just asking an Amex rep?

Havent done it myself but know people who have. Unsure to how official the benefit is, but seems to work fine.

Thanks. I know that's included! My question is if you ever got a status upgrade for other amex partners like delta just by asking for it...

Does the Platinum card come with travel insurance?
