I Forgot To Use My Amex So I Could Get My $200 Statement Credit On Airline Fees
Recall, every year, Platinum card members receive up to $200 a year in statement credits when incidental fees, such as baggage fees, flight-change fees, in-flight food and beverage purchases, and airport lounge day passes, are charged by the airline of your choice to your Platinum card account.

The Dog Ate My Timberlands
