    AmEx card in Apple Wallet not sufficient to enter lounge

    I forgot my card one time and the VA lounge agent asked me to log into my Amex app and show the card account as active. This makes sense as the card can stay in Apple Pay even when cancelled (it just will not work for payments). So I don’t think they need the physical card to charge Amex...

    American Express Platinum cover when only paying taxes on award flight?

    I’ve had 2 travel delay claims this year, one fully award booking and one a paid / award mix and both paid out no problems. Agree that paying out claims before doesn’t guarantee they will continue to ongoing but absolutely no problems with mine so far.

    Rex SYD Lounge Access

    Agree! I never carry the physical card and haven’t come across a lounge that doesn’t accept the digital version. So I would get into your account and have your digital version ready to go ASAP.

    $200 "Dining credit" towards a list of Global Restaurants

    Anybody have any luck buying gift cards with this and still getting credit? I did something similar with the $300 dining credit last year and worked out fine. Heading overseas in January, so a gift card and then the next $200 next year wouldn’t go astray at all!
