Amex Plat (USA) cardholders can now get Equinox Plus annual plan for "free"
Equinox Plus now has a $300 annual plan for Amex Plat cardholders. BUT there are taxes which seem to be hidden from the buyer when purchasing.
Since the Equinox credit is now $300 annual for the Amex Plat rather than $25 monthly, it's now possible to get annual Equinox Plus for just the cost of the taxes.
Anyone have data points on what the taxes are for various states?

ahh I completely misread and didn't see the "+". I thought this was for the physical gym memberships. Would've been an absolute wild deal considering the premium they charge for in person gyms.

I guess I'm in the minority, but I like the app, and the fact that it will now be entirely covered by the credit with no "copay" will reflect favorably when considering renewal. I also like SXM and Paramount+ (although am aware that the latter can be had free via monthly special codes, but the WM+ would negate having to keep tabs on that).

My wife has an Equinox+ membership for the at-home SoulCycle bike ($40/month) and her Amex Plat effectively reduces it to $15/month.
I just had a thought - I also have an Amex Plat (separate account, not AU). Could we split the charge to cover the whole thing?
It would probably require a monthly phone call to Equinox every month, but it's an intriguing idea.

Greetings from the mighty state of Connecticut!
Charge just came through today at $319.05 (Equinox frontloads a free 7 day trial when you first sign up for this). I thought I would give this a try but I will likely end up cancelling this as redundant to my family's existing Peloton subscription.
It would be nice if amex handled this similar to how they handle the Walmart+ credit but, reading the terms, it is fairly clear that we are on the hook for tax.
