Gogo and Boingo are also disappearing.
No more Gogo or Boingo on Biz Plat - Jan 1, 2020
I guess Amex figures their core customers don't care about the value of the card since it's a business expense (they charge more for additional cardholders too). I know many people on FT like it for the 35% rebate on points, but that is a tough break-even versus the personal platinum in 2020. And with the PRG updated earning, maybe Amex is trying to save costs on that particular redemption path?

This is GREAT news! Of course, it’s rather clever as it now means I’ll be keeping this card after the AF hits for at least one more year... but this benefit has been a massive savings for me and my company. Even four months more makes up for the AF for me, as I use this benefit a ton.

Yep , was very happy... I had just signed up for a second Biz Plat - not for the sole reason of starting the WeWork benefit through that to get another year out of it (really 10 months after my original would have expired in Feb), but now I dont have to redo everything/hoops, etc.

The question mark still exists as to whether or not WW will be around until then...

I activated my WeWork benefit on Dec 23rd and got an welcome response, but not an email about creating the actual account yet. Did anybody sign up recently receive it yet? I worry that with WeWork cutbacks, I won't be able to activate any time soon.

Wondering if anybody has any data points on whether wework will eventually cancel memberships if the underlying amex card is closed? From early 2019 it seemed as though folks retained access. Any of you have any further updates?
It's late, but I can say that I know of someone who used the benefit for a person of a different name than on the plat card. Granted, the two shared a last name, and this is perhaps a moot point if they don't bring back the enrollment, but data nonetheless.

I got activated within a day or two of registering with the link, around the same time of year as you, it seemed pretty automated, and was quick. Hopefully you've been activated by now?

I’m the same. I filled in the form on 12/23 and like the poster above, have not received anything from WeWork yet.

Same boat as you. I signed up on 12/27 and received the "Your Enrollment is Almost Complete" email, but nothing since. Just emailed them for an update.
