Amex Platinum RETENTION OFFER 2020!

The American Express Platinum Card annual fee posted to my Amex account (a lovely $550)! Click "Show More" to see Ad Disclosure. However, if you have a credit card with an annual fee, you’ll always want to ensure you receive more value from it than you pay each year. 2020 was NOT the year for travel, and since most of the Amex Platinum Card benefits are travel related, it didn’t make sense to pay $550 for the next 12 months of card membership. SO…I asked for an Amex Platinum Card RETENTION OFFER :D This video shows my TWO conversations with Amex so you can see what I said AND what the offer was for the end of 2020. 💳👉VIEW CREDIT CARD OFFERS! https://markscreditcards.com/offers 🛍 RAKUTEN - Earn Cash Back! http://markscreditcards.com/rakuten ‼️ GET FREE STOCKS FROM WEBULL when you open an account & deposit $100: http://markscreditcards.com/webull When it comes to the Amex Platinum Card, Amex Gold Card and Amex Green Card you DEFINITELY want to make sure that the cards work for your travel / vacation preferences and overall monthly / yearly spending habits. That’s because each one carries a large annual fee ($550, $250 and $150 respectively). American Express Membership Rewards Points are some of the BEST travel rewards points in the industry, but if the annual fees cost you more than the value you get, it still doesn’t make sense. Fortunately, my Amex Platinum Card retention offer 2020 was 50,000 Membership Rewards points. Combined with the additional benefits (see below), it made sense to keep the Platinum Card for another year. AMEX PLATINUM CARD BENEFITS (as of December 2020) AMEX PLATINUM CARD SIGNUP BONUS (Dec. 2020) Earn 100,000 Membership Rewards points after spending $5,000 in the first 6 months of card membership.
