What In The Hell Was Amex Thinking??!!
 

They just sent me a Platinum Amex Card with no pre-set spending limit!!??

Holy shit they must be smoking crack over there to approve my ass LOL!

Vegas here I come!!! :1orglaugh

DH

that sounds like a charge card not a credit card

full balance payable each month

hey now, be smart with that thing.

If you didn't apply for it, then go nuts! Otherwise, welcome to debt :)

hehe I did apply for it actually, it's an awesome card! My friend Brad recommended it to me.

Here are the details, look at all the cool shit you get with it 1.5 aeromiles per $1 spent, plus access to the Air Canada Club Lounge at the airports.

- $399 annual fee (includes free Supplementary Gold Cards
- Finance Charges: 30% per annum (0.0822% per day

nice :-)

$400/year and the finance charges are a killer. Not sure if that's worth the perks you get on the card to be honest. I bet you just got it for the Air Canada Club Lounge benefits didn't you, lol.

I wish Amex would offer US currency cards in Canada, I'm surprised they won't offer it actually.

WG

doesn't seem like that good of a deal to me with the fees and interest charges but have fun with your new toy:)

When you consider how much money I put on my card per year it's totally worth it for the points alone. I already had the lounge benefits as I paid for a membership (which I have to transfer now to Magnus). I can't recommend that membership enough as you get free drinks and food in the lounge. Magnus and I will drink the membership fee away in 2 trips LOL! ;)

DH

How much was the membership and from which site? Unlimited drinks and food or do they cap it? I'll be checking in 6 hours before flights if its all unlimited :)

WG

It's unlimited dude trust me! Next time we fly to a show book with me and I will take you to the lounge :)

DH

Deal. Tell me when you book for Summer Internext and I'll take you up on that offer :)

WG

30% per annum? Holy fuckballs. What's the grace period?

Those lounges rock. Can you seriously drink $400 in one though?

I love my chase card. 1% cash back on all purchases with no limit. No fee and I have no idea what the interest rate is.

You've never seen me drink :)
WG

I got one too. Good :)

$400 over a few flights a year? Sure. And I'm not even a heavy drinker.

exactly Im getting forms to fill out like every month no thank you
