I see the $300 FHR/THC credit reset and have all of it available. Now i have to "make some new plans"
.
AmEx really made the Christmas come early this time around. I was getting weary of the "coupon-book" but with these new credits - i'm practically drooling at the new coupon book now.
The inclusion of Youtube in the streaming credit was a nice surprise. That really changes the value of the sreaming credit for me as I already pay for youtube premium (i used to pay with my Ink card but now AmEx gets the "business") and for me just that in itself repays the increase in annual fee for me.
I am seriously worried about two things though
1. Can all these benefits be actually sustained by AmEx
2. Centurion lounges are now going to have longer lines than the airport food court

Yes, you just walk in and pay with your amex plat. Transactions usually come through Toast Tab (https://pos.toasttab.com/). Hence, any gift card you purchase through the restaurant's website that go through Toast will also qualify. See this forum for more detail: Resy Credits: Experiences and Strategy (Delta cards, personal Gold)

Ugh, I made a prepaid FHR booking on 16-Sept hoping I could double-dip, but the charge is still pending, so what are the odds the credit posts from the "old" $200 one and not the new $300 one. Probably very low.

I was also skeptical of the refresh and was already on the fence about keeping this card, but honestly... the way the new benefits are, it's making me think "where's the catch?" I've been able to use $200 a year in FHN - I may not use the full 600 organically, but still, let's say I only use $300, then I do use $200 for airline every year, I will use the full streaming organically, which now brings it up to $800... and I will definitely use $400 RESY because I have a bunch of mid-tier and even one cheap bar on Resy available. So no problem on that front. So even without the use of all benefits, I am coming out ahead, and me and my SO love using the lounges when we travel (only a few times a year) so this is a great refresh for a light user. Still makes me wonder - where is the catch?!

I believe they mean you can't buy Saks egift card online to trigger the credit. Same as Lululemon egift card will not trigger the credit for Amex offers (or this new benefit) because it's via Cashstar. Both credits will be triggered with purchase of physical gift cards shipped to you but the minimum for that at Saks is $150 so nobody likes doing that.
