I can foresee the secondary market for discounted Saks $50 gifts cards gaining momentum soon.

Shall we begin speculating on what benefit is going away on the Plat due to this Saks credit?
I figured it was probably a typo but you never know with Amex. I'll say this though, I'll absolutely get some use out of this credit, which is more than I can say for the Uber credit and Global Entry credit 4 out of 5 years. If they did away with either, I wouldn't be sad.

The Uber credit card is awfully attractive too but as someone who has never once used Uber stateside, I don't have a need for it, or the Uber credit from Amex. Now, if they'd make it so the Uber credit could be used overseas, as if it were, you know, a travel card, I'd be all in.

I’ll probably burn this credit on cologne or something... and still have to cough up $15 to $20.... oh well at least they participate in ShopRunner, I’ll finally end up using that perk some....

edit: oh! I didn’t see the “Cotten face mask” for $100 that’s coming soon.... *rolls eyes*
Shoprunner is another "perk" that I think I've used once. I'm sure the Saks credit can be used online, finding something that is under $100 or two things under $50 on the other hand...
