[BestBankerBestBanker is verified member.]

Platinum charge card fees is increasing soon . So let me know if you wish to take before that.

 

[DaDarkkNight]

If I take the card now, will I get the existing benefits offer and the new benefits being introduced as well or only existing benefits
mentioned on Amex website will be provided ?

You would get both the existing and the new benefits for the old price 60k+gst for the first year

The bloody bugger Chat Executive was telling that I will get only the benefits for which I pay the fees... 60k me existing benefits only
66k me new benefits only

any communication you have that both benefits will be provided bro.

another question is will the renewals or new applicants not get existing benefits who take card post 8th Oct ?

What about Accor membership, Times Prime Ace Membership and extra things they are adding with Increased fees.

Will the existing benefit be available for renewals after fee increase or not?

Amex won't differentiate between old and new cards after next month, so whatever features applicable on this platinum card in oct (once fee revises), it will affect all users of the card, whether new or old.

well accor membership dosent come with dining vouchers.no use.its better to buy it from accor or any of the referral as you will get significantly more benefits.

don't know about times prime ace will comment once we know.looks useless certainly now worth paying 8k.the other benefits i do already have prefer hotels titanium membership doesn't provide any benefit nor its have good hotels in India.

the other remaining benefit is postcard hotel mid tier membership which give you free laundry.another golden benefit curated specially for us by amex product team.

anywhich ways even if you get a card now.you will have all the new benefits from oct8.

Does that mean the existing features will go like HIton , Mariott membership etc. ?

Yes you will get. But card has to be approved by this month end

Now we are going to get 60k worth vouchers as joining benefits. That would cover most of the cost as we can take luxe vouchers as well

 

[Hello_World]

Received all the new benefits via email. Times ACE membership voucher was redeemed too, and so far most of it doesn't make sense to me. I am already an Amazon Prime user, so Prime Lite is useless. Don't need Lenskart, and Healthkart memberships too.

I was never using Discovery+, Conde Nast, Lionsgate Play, Mint+ WSJ, Curiosity Stream, Netmeds, TOI+, or Pharmeasy subscriptions, let's see how much they will be useful now.

I don't have Starbucks where I live so it is useless. Tata Cliq 2500/- off, and Hamleys off are the only two vouchers I think will be useful for me.

You might be applying the code in the wrong place. Logout from the app. Restart it and before entering your mobile number just below the box there is link to enter referral code. Once you will enter the code it will reflect and then you can enter your mobile number in the box. Hope this helps.

Same is the case with me. +Tata cliq and hamleys you are referring to 10/12.5% off codes, right? There is no flat voucher for this?

Yes, that's right. Also, I am not able to find a voucher code for SonyLiv on Time Ace app, but Amex offers says that Sonyliv membership voucher is included.

I applied on 10th september and received the card shortly after well before october 8, however I was still charged 66k+gst.
The statement was generated on 9 october.
They have reversed 6k as a goodwill gesture.
Is it same with everyone?

Nope for me it was 60k plus tax total 70k odd.

Has anyone received the new hotel memberships? I enrolled but have not received anything yet.

I was able to instantly enroll with I Prefer but still waiting for Accor. It's been over 10 days since I enrolled. Frustratingly, there is no clarity on timeline. Ts & Cs say it might take up to 60 days. I don't understand why this is being dragged out.

 

[shashiishere]

I have got confirmation of enrollment to Postcard and not Accor. Have enrolled 4 times already 😀
