I contacted AX today and the new benefits do apply to new members and upgrades. I had the CSR reinstate my AX Aspire. I had recently downgraded to the no AF version. I will use the card for Rest spend thru July or until I hit the $300 mark. Also she was nice enough to go back to 2019 and credit three $79 seat selection fees to PE bulkhead row at $79 per shot. I will get my airline misc credit for most of that charge. She said in the future to request a manual credit 14 days after the seat selection fee posts. DONT use the word upgrade. Use seat selection terminology. It won’t work from Econ to F class.
I will upgrade my wife’s Bonvoy Bold to the Brilliant taking advantage of the 100k points upgrade offer and using that card for grocery spend thru August. A very productive call.
This is a great benefits post, looks like I have $550 to spend on restaurants!! Can you expand on the Platinum card $20 wireless monthly credit? Is that basically saying if we pay our cell phone bill (T-Mobile, AT&T, Verizon, etc.) with Platinum card we receive $20 credit?
notable absent is the gold card… personal and business… nothing mentioned? no benefits??
Holy $hit. My SCRA benes already make the platinum free for me 😉 all grocery now goes on this card!
$20 a month for shipping. Time to stock up on forever stamps.
Eric, shhhh :))
But what else counts as “shipping”? I’m wondering about third-party shipping shops, like Pony Express or Mailboxes.
