My dirty secret is I almost love Amex more than my family. They have bent over backwards when I’ve needed help (stolen wallet outside of the country while traveling), and while I pay $550/year for the card, I get all of the fee back in services while traveling (lounge, airline incidental credits, etc).

Can’t say enough good things about Americans Express.

Can't speak from personal experience, but my father would certainly agree with you. As would a number of other people I know.

A surprising number of people seem to have 'When shit hits the fan, Amex delivers' stories.

One trick with the AMEX Gold/Platinum is that certain airline e-giftcards under certain dollar amounts trigger the airline incidental credits: https://thepointsguy.com/guide/airline-gift-cards-amex-incid...
