American Express Platinum Travel

[Legionomous]

Went with the flow and used a referral link to get the AMEX Platinum travel since it was FYF. Now that I have received it, how can I make the most out of it based on experts?

The brochure received with the card says:
1) 10,000 membership points as welcome gift - Is this still relevant for FYF cards? If not, by when can I see it reflected in my account?
2) Priority pass membership - It mentions that I should receive a complementary priority pass but haven't received it along with the card. With Axis magnus, I received the priority pass along with the card but don't know about AMEX.
3) I remember some points to be rewarded as well for both the referrer and the referee. But don't know if I need to fulfil some criteria for the same.

What else could I do with the card that would help me to make the most out of it like buying some gift cards or anything similar? This is not my primary card so definitely won't be able to make spends worth 1,90,000 in a year.

If you are not able to spend 1.9L then you will get very bad reward rate will this card. You should have better taken MRCC or gold card because of their monthly milestone.
1. No 10k points only on joining fee paid card
2.Priority pass need to be requested but no complementary visits.
3.Referral points is 2k which you will get on 5k spends in 30 days

Normally from india international travel is less barring business and travel enthus. Most of the time it is chargable if u use priority pass except i heard infinia priority is complementary for international.

[Palak]

Is there any referral benefit on amex reserve?

 

[ALOAK]

IIRC, only the PP membership worth USD 99 is complimentary. Lounge visits will be charged (usually USD 27 per visit). The 8 domestic lounge access are to be availed using the credit card itself.

Now it is 32usd fornpriority pass lounge access internationally.
