Talked myself out of $300 Amex card benefit #creditcardbenefits #amexplatinum

Reminder that just because it’s “free” money or a credit card benefit, that doesn’t mean it always makes sense to use it!! Also please don’t go into credit card debt trying to take advantage of benefits you have to pay out of pocket for. This ultimately didn’t work out because I found out in Dec that I was still eligible for this benefit that expires at the end of the month, higher hotel prices and low hotel room availability due to the holiday season, and lack of schedule flexibility. If you were able to take advantage of this benefit, good for you!
