[Rumor] American Express Planning Platinum Refresh – Card With ‘Mirror Finish’

• Apple pay making card usage very rare

  • I don’t see that at all. Sure many chain restaurants, supermarkets take Apple Pay. I do not see the huge expansion that makes cards not needed. I wish this was the case. Outside the US less acceptance. What gas pumps take Apple Pay?

  • Except to pay for the guest fee at a Centurion Lounge you need the physical Platinum card and cannot even use digital payment (even though the machine can obviously take it).

    • I've been able to pay with any Amex card, but yes still a physical one.

• Hold this new platinum card up next to a handful of hundreds you can see where your money went. Almost life like.

• Gen Y, gen Z look! Squirrel 😆

• At least people lost in the wilderness might get some use out of the mirror finish for signaling at rescue aircraft.

  • Accepted everywhere you want to be! Including the passing aircraft.

    • Also handy for checking there's no food stuck between your teeth after dining in the finest restaurants of the world. :-D

• The new cards will be actual coupon books and the mirror will break every time you use a coupon, giving you 7 additional years of bad luck

• I got a 175k NLL offer for the Plat via email, apply by 2/20 which I plan to take. I wonder if I'll get the new card.

  • I suspect that a rumor that they’re thinking about planning a new card doesn’t mean it will be on the market in 17 days.

• This is for the demographic that powders their nose

  • The 80s were over, now it's Fent

  • ....cocaine users?

• tin foil protection on the platinum?

• Ha, I feel like they are solidifying the cards "keep at home" status with the mirrored finish.

  • what's the point of a cool looking card other than to whip it out at a restaurant or register?
