Amex (USA) personal Platinum Oura ring benefit
Is the once a year Oura credit matching the expected lifespan of the device?
I suspect there will be a metric ton of Oura gen3 devices showing up on eBay any day now.

these devices tend to have easily a 2-3 year lifespan before the battery starts to fade 10-15%..or damage.. with this benefit it probably means a new Ring is available every 1.5-2 years (their new rings tend to come about 2-2.5 yrs on avg) and then just ebay or sell or gift the old ring to someone else. Its an interesting benefit and Id like to see more of it.. maybe they will put Eight Sleep on the docket at some point or other wellness products.

In many ways the Gen 3 is better in some ways the Gen 4 is better.. I think those who wanted the new ring have probably already made the move.

Am I misreading... the fine print says that the Oura credit is only for device purchase and not the ongoing fee? Seems bizarre for an "annual" credit and also doesn't fix the major reason I am not going to buy one.
You must charge the card at any point of sale that is coded as a Resy Restaurant. Use of Resy is not required.
Forgive me for this question. But in order to use the resy credit by sept 30 for this quarter, do I actually have to make a reservation in resy? Here in nyc most of the time my spouse and I just walk into restaurants without a reservation.
can I just use the card at a restaurant that works with resy without a reservation? Thanks

You can also save on shipping and pick up at BestBuy for no cost. Definitely will double dip and get reimbursed through HSA.

for people looking to buy oura ring ver3, there are some DPs of people not being able to complete payment and it seems oura is the culprit because they dont want to give a ring for free
there are some promo links for a gen4 ring

IDK I don't know the terms of their agreement, but putting Oura out as a main character in the benefits show rather then relegating them to "offers" seems to be a stretch to me. A discount on an overpriced product that requires a subscription hardly seems like a "benefit" to me. Sounds like Oura is good at marketing and lobbying as they say that these are HSA/FSA eligible as well.

I wonder if Amex is excited about having merchants selectively decline their Plat card based on what products are being purchased.
