sounds very not-free.
- arcticbull 5y agoIt's included in the annual fee of an Amex Platinum so it is no additional cost if you elect this option. It covers the cost of an NYT subscription completely. This is a new credit, and not one that factors into my cost-benefit analysis on keeping the card. Probably true of most folks. I mention it because I suspect many cardholders are in the same boat and do not know about this. You are correct that it is not "free" but rather "included at no additional charge" should you choose to elect it.
- rkk3 5y agoah ok, I just meant more not free in the sense that I assume the digital credit is probably already spoken for between; Netflix, Spotify, Disney, Audible, Amazon Prime, etc etc.
- arcticbull 5y agoUnless I'm mistaken they only support Peacock, Audible, SiriusXM, and The New York Times! Were it to include the ones you mention, I suspect I'd feel quite differently haha.
