Reportedly Amex will help make the Platinum cards $550 AF more worth it with a biannual $50 credit to Saks Fifth Avenue beginning July 1st.

And anyone who posts that $50 credit twice a year isn't as good as a single $100 gets all their likes and post counts erased

I assumed it was one purchase only, but you're right, it could be cumulative

Obviously a $100 single credit is better than 2 x $50.  Saks and AMEX came up with this formula to maximize the return for both of them.

Every blog is filled with people crying about this.  Yet 3 days ago there was no credit.  People will always find something to cry about.
