Thank you for being so active & promptly responses.
With your expertise/knowledge; what scenarios and goals should my large family aim/chase:
- we are a family of 8 siblings, each is married and having at least 1 - 3 kids (varies from 6 mos old - 15 yrs old)
- I am the most financial stable of the 8, I have a small business that I ran remotely, enough to pay bills, no extra income. I'm disabled due to TBIs, pretty much not able to get out of "home settings". Sometimes spend months in a nursing facility. Able to use annual fees as write offs, not so bad.
- I'd love to bring the happiness to my family. (back then before learning about PriorityPass, my relatives spent like up to $300s at airport foods/snacks per "stop" (the kids wandering around non-stop and want this and that)... those parents whose got PPs through my AUs since then $0.
My original plans been successful and some fall shorts (uneven distribution of PP cards) - Most travels are destine to Asia & South East Asia. Some to Europe. Some to Caribbean.
- authorized those families to enjoy Lounges (free/on my expenses) when they're traveling (they have their own travel expenses) - Venture X's 4 AU (PP & Plaza & C1 lounges). Should I consider apply for a 2nd Venture X card to do another 4 AUs?
- authorized some of them for RC for purpose of PP passes (5 so far, not sure on the point of limitations by ticking off Chase's system for being jail/ban/blacklisted). Should I attempt to stay with RC card, and cancel VentureX? and then find a way to add another RC card?
- AmexPlat is no longer an option as of 2023, already cancelled them last year (Biz Plat & personal Plat together - unable to keep up with fees).
my own family: an elder (my mom) my 2 parent-in-laws, my spouse & my son 1 yr old. Current situation:
- been chasing true-Platinum status at Marriott (not via Brilliant amex), my spouse works for a subsidairy food service with SPG/Marriotts, she still has 50% off rates on Rooms (upgrades available but void the discounts, unless maintaining Lifetime Platinum)
- PPs via RC - should my spouse apply for the 2nd RC card? or 2nd VenX card on her own name?
Sorry about complexity of needs.
Thanks for any leads.
