AFAIK, when there is a strike, you can exchange for free or get reimbursed directly by the SNCF.
You shouldn't need to go to your travel insurance. |

In a Facebook group I read that the price of the French platinum FB Amex is going up to eur 636 per year.

Hi there,
I have looking for the info on the Amex' website but failed to find it in the terms and conditions. I was wondering if someone knows. Anyways, I will try to call the insurance this morning to know more. But do you know if the insurance included in the AFKL Amex Gold covers train cancellation (i.e in case of a strike) ? The T&C give details about flights, but do not seem to mention trains. We need to take a train to CDG on the 15th before flying the next day, and of course, our beloved French unions have just announced to be on strike on the 11th and the 15th... thanks |

I can confirm through personal experience that the complaints are more than plausible. The grade of 1.6/5 well deserved. |

A few years ago (during the 2019 SNCF strike), I have successfully being reimbursed by the Amex insurance for a rental car + gas + tolls after SNCF cancelled pretty much all trains between Paris and Geneva, and flights were also not a real option (again, strikes :D ). They deduced from the refund the cost of the train tickets since SNCF was supposed to refund that (which they did), and there was some (easy) negotiation around expenses I could not pay through Amex that I included, but it was quite an honest offer in the end.
at first, no, then yes within 2 minutes. I wonder if i have to call again to get a second confirmation. Because let's say I have no train at all, I don't want to spend XXX euros from my own pocket based on someone at Amex not even sure about what she says... |

- Wifi refund up to 75€ (not new, started in June 2021 as an offer and became permanent advantage in June 2022) - Cookoon offer (more than a year old as well) and quite useless if you don't live in Paris and i heard pretty expensive but never tried. - Some online doctor thing that most people already have with their health coverage in France. - and BEST perk of all: pay with miles as if i m going to give them 1000 miles for 4 €. in the meantime they forgot that this card does not insure anymore flights that are not AF/KLM. if not for the Platinum for 2 perk, i would have removed this card a long time ago. |

I have platinum AF card and i don't have it and my partner has gold AF card and has the offer so go figure how it works
But still, it doesn't explain why I see lots of offer all the time as a gold member while my wife doesn't (she owns a free secondary gold card from my account). |

I have travelled much less these past 3 years because of covid, because i left Paris but also because I have a 3-year old now.
I have been using the AF Amex Gold card for the past 14 years and was really with it but not i feel that earning FB miles is no longer of interest for me. But the thing is, Amex is waiving the annual fee every year so I've never paid for my card. I feel that the regular Amex Gold card would offer more options thanks to its MR program. Is it worth moving from the AF Gold card to the regular Gold card ? and is Amex also offering to waive the fees if we spend a certain amount of money every year? |
