    Great video with real life examples on how to use the benefits on the platinum card. For Dunkin Credit, you can also reload $7 every month to your Dunkin account with your Amex Gold card and you can still get the Dunkin credit. So, you are not forced to go to Dunkin every month and buy some food or drinks

    Thank you for pointing out that current gold card users still have to go to the site and press the "enroll" button (multiple times) to ensure they get the new credits. I have enjoyed the Uber & Dining credits every month for years, but forgot that I had had to enroll in them initially. I checked my acct and yep, the new Resy credit was not active. It took 3 different screens of accepting terms and clicking enroll buttons, but I finally got it applied. I'm going to use this credit on my trip in October - thanks again!

    I can vouch you do not have to use the Gold Card to get the benefits when booking a hotel from The Hotel Collection. Just having the card gets you the benefits. I have the Gold card but used my Green card for a trip in May. I still got the free room upgrade and $100 credit I used for parking. Plus 3x points for using the Green card to book the room. This alone paid for the annual fee on either card for the year for me.

    Amex has been sending me mail for months saying I’m pre approved for the gold card. But I’m having a hard time justifying the annual fee. I get that they give you credit for Resy, Dunkin, Dining, and Uber but none of that stuff I don’t normally use. Uber might have come in handy for nights out I drink and don’t have to drive but I recently quit drinking and I also have a car. Dining I might use once a month. But I’m still spending an X amount of money that’s likely going to be more than the credit per month they give. I normally cook at home for the most part. So am I really getting benefits or the illusion of it? Because at the end of the day you’re likely spending more money than what they credit you per month. If you normally use those services and places they listed out. It’s definitely to your benefit. But as someone who doesn’t, it’s a bit harder to justify. I recently got the savor capital one and I get 3% cash back and no annual fee. I’m satisfied with it so far.

    This is a great video explaining benefits! The only thing I would add is that to maximize value you should watch how much you are spending. $24 for a burger and fries really dilutes the $10 credit. If you were going to spend that money anyway, you're good. But personally, I try to keep it down to an amount close to the credit so I feel like I'm getting something.

    Seems like the Amex coupon book is very top heavy on food and groceries. If you squeeze out all the monthly hoops you should be ahead of the annual fee with the DD and Resy credits.

      The 4x points on groceries and dining alone make the card worth it. The credits are just icing on the cake. People should really consider their spending habits before deciding which credit cards to enroll in.

      I'll have to try it to confirm. My guess is that the answer is 'yes' as long as the transaction is charged directly by the restaurant in the same way dine-in orders are. A possible way it wouldn't work is paying over the phone if the restaurant uses a different system for those orders and if that system isn't configured as a 'restaurant.'

    I decided to cancel my Amex Gold card after the changes. I live in San Francisco and the closest Dunkin' Donuts is located 10 miles away from me. That is just too far to use a $10 credit and the Resy credit is too small to use. The high end restaurants cost way more than the $100 credit will cover. Amex should have skipped the Dunkin' credit and offered a $200 Resy credit instead. The Dunkin' and Resy credit did not offer enough value for the $75 annual fee increase for me. I am now taking a hard look at the Amex Platinum card to determine whether I should cancel that card as well.

    To all Amex lovers. This is the worst card if you are overseas for an extended period.
    Why?
    Five Guys overseas are not counted towards credit
    Resy isn’t counted
    Uber credit must be in US dollar, so forget it
    Grocery is x1 and a lot of negative benefits.
    Terrible terrible.

      Potentially. I'm okay with it if (a) the benefits I receive, for example, are worth $160 and (b) I only paid an extra $30/night for 2 nights. That'd be like getting $160 in benefits at a discounted rate of $60. Worth it, but only if I value those benefits.
