Need help. Those with Amex, do they automatically offer travel insurance like somehow Covid cancels one of my trips to the islands…. Will Amex cover that or if I get stuck out there with Covid? Any help would be greatly appreciated
amex has some of the best coverage of this kind, compare with sumn like venture x
The Trip Cancellation or Interruption must be caused by or result from:
1. The death, Accidental Bodily Injury, disease or physical illness of You or an Immediate Family Member of the Insured person; or
2. Default of the Common Carrier resulting from financial insolvency.

Give them some time. Cap 1 is new to the luxury travel card game. Once they complete a lounge here in Houston I’m getting one. The accentuation lounge at IAH was just “ok” and got full as fk very quickly on our way out at 8:30am so I’m not confident I’ll be taking my family of 4/5/6/8 (depending on who travels with us) in there again if I have options. Especially since the small man at the counter tried to G check me :childplease:

I just hate waiting for customer support but might have to call them on this. Two worries is the hotel strictly states no refunds after a certain time and I didn’t book it through the portal. Just used the card.

Because I run a high balance each month then pay it off Amex has boosted my overall score about 20 points since it looks like I’m paying off huge debts each month.

I haven’t reached the same score I had immediately before applying when I got the Gold card in July. I’ve been routinely running 2-3k through the card each month:yeshrug:

As far as monthly utilization, how do these report on your credit or do they since they are charge cards and not credit cards?

they show up as an account but they don’t affect your utiliziation. However, in the account history on your credit reports it WILL show what your highest balance on the card was in the payment history section

I wanna get the gold or platinum but I think the gold would benefit me more as far as the grocery/restaurant rewards. But the look of that platinum :wow: I did the pre qualification and it said I could apply for both..I’m tempted to go through with it now but I just got approved for a new home loan and don’t wanna cause any unnecessary pulls right now.

How was your experience? Did you get in?

I Haven’t been early enough to catch a spot here, so the only thing I can recommend is to get there EARLY because it fills quick. Use the Amex entrance, it’s clutch.
Nah we ended up cancelling the move because my son came down with Omarion and the rest of the house did as well. So I’ll try to go later this season.

Not doing my kid(s) until they hit 16. Payin an additional annual fee for them right now ain't good.

I could add gold for free though. :patrice:

Add them to a card with no fee and just don't tell them :mjgrin:

Aint shyt parents put cable and phone bills in their kids name without telling them and end up not paying the bill. You could do your kids a solid by building their credit by adding them to your card but not telling them.:yeshrug:

Of course that assumes you keep your financial house in order.
