Pretty sure he was joking...at least that's how I took it. The words "lighten up Francis" come to mind.

Now if he drove a Porsche on the other hand...
If anyone is interested, AMEX will give you both the Platinum and Gold Premier Rewards cards for no fee. My wife and I have both cards (total of 4) linked to the same account. We use our Premier Rewards on everything (double points for gas & groceries, triple points for airfare) and the Platinum for travel stuff (lounges, airline credit, rental car bennies, etc.) All of our bills are charged to the Gold Premier (cell, electric, etc.) This way you get all the travel perks for the Platinum and all of the extra points for the Gold. It adds up real quick and you pay no fees at all, as long as you tell them about Service Members Civil Relief Act.
It was my understanding that Amex doesn't charge annual fees on ANY of their cards as long as you're AD. I went with Blue Cash Preferred as my everyday card. 6% cash back on groceries up to a $6k annual limit (but you can't use places like Wal-Mart or Costco's, and I'm not sure yet if the Commissary counts), 3% cash back on gas, 3% cash back at certain department stores (most of the big ones, like Macy's, Dillards, Penney's, etc.), and 1% on everything else. Plus the signup bonus was $250 for spending $1,000 in the first 3 months, although I think the standard one is $100 unless you get the offer in the mail or look for pre-selected offers on the Amex website, which is what I did.
No, I've had it going for several years now. If they check it the process is transparent.
Alright gents, word on the street is that we also qualify for card fee rebates on Citibank cards as well. That includes the Citi Executive AAdvantage World Elite Mastercard. Anyone know of this or tried it? There's one guy online I've seen anecdotally, but wanted to see if this was indeed a thing.
I had this same experience with Chase. I was pretty disappointed.
Part of the merger between AA and USAirways is resulting in tightening up Club access. Both AA and USAir have severed their club access via AMEX Platinum or the Priority Pass benefit (that was USA only, never AA). But a USAirways Club host told me that she knows some AMEX customers have bitched to AMEX and the company then pays for regular membership at USAirways clubs. May work for the AA Admirals club too. I haven't called them yet myself.
