So I get a call yesterday from amex about unusually high spending in Mexico on my Gold card, turns out some guy tried to buy something at some mexican jewler worth $9000, the stupid shop actually punched the card in rather then swipe.
Anyways, I said it sure wasnt mine, they declined the charge or whatever but said it wouldnt be on my bill and to just make sure when I get my bill that everything is mine.
Seeing as they needed to kill the card anyways I took that time to turn my gold credit card into their line of credit (which gives a better rate then my damn bank) and apply for a Charge Card, because of my previous spending habbits the lady recomended the plat card. The concierge service had me sold, and then she said about the complimentry ticket when flying overseas. So I sucked up the 400 a year fee and said do it up.

Anyone else have the plat card? I hope its actually worth it. Never had a charge card either, but it seems better then a credit card.
