Hey guys, in this video, I’m taking you through the full process of me trying to get the American Express Platinum Card, and I’ll be honest… Amex did NOT make this one easy. You can follow along as I break down my original plan, why I wanted the Platinum in the first place, and how being stuck in Amex pop-up jail completely changed my strategy. I’ll explain what Amex pop-up jail is, why it happens, and why you should almost never accept an Amex card without a welcome offer attached. We’ll also talk through the differences between the Vanilla Platinum, the Charles Schwab Platinum, and the Morgan Stanley Platinum, and why I ultimately pivoted to the Amex Business Platinum instead to still lock in an offer and unlock a 1 cent per point cashout option. If you’ve ever wondered “Is the Amex Platinum worth it?”, “How do I navigate Amex pop-up jail?”, or you’ve been struggling to get approved or qualify for a welcome offer yourself, this video should help you understand what to do next and how to adjust your game plan.
