For all the cost of the card, it does not include primary rental car insurance that Amex offers for $20 per rental. Keep the 3rd party credits and offer travels credits/benefits that are useful.
ty for all your info ben!! so i usually book my flights directly with the airline (american in my case), and put the charge on my AAdvantage executive MC. if there is ever a problem with my rez or flight or itinerary in any way, AA has always been excellent about handling it. do you think they would be as helpful if i booked American flights directly with American, but paid with the amex personal platinum card?
Yep like the posting the 150,000 point offer on the platinum business that was supposed to be so great when they just had a 250,000 point offer that had just probably expired. Even if you didn’t get the 250 it was very easy to find the 190,000 point offer.
The question becomes if you find the personal card more useful why you maintain both, other than the welcome bonus you received.
If you plan to visit different regions, consider purchasing a JR Pass (Japan Rail Pass), which will give you unlimited use of JR trains for a certain period.
