Plenti Smartphone App Review for iPhone and Android

Posted on by . 2 Replies

Good morning everyone, I spent a few minutes playing around with the new Plenti app on my iPhone.  The app is built well and has all the features you would want to make your shopping and Plenti point accumulation process as easy as possible.  You can download the app here:

All screenshots are from an iPhone 6, but the process should be similar on other smartphones.  After you download the Plenti app, you can log into your Plenti account.  From the app you can see various Plenti offers, see your points activity, view your Plenti card bar code, and use points at checkout.  Let’s go through each section below.

2 Centurion Lounge Meetups: SFO @ 12pm and LAS @ 6pm (Saturday, November 7)

Posted on by . 30 Replies

Good morning everyone.  A few months ago, I was talking to a few people at one of my Bay Area meetups and the idea of having a meetup at a Centurion Lounge came up.  Since almost everyone at the meetup had an AMEX Platinum Card, it sounded like a fun adventure.  I also spoke with Shawn @ Miles to Memories about having a meetup in Las Vegas (MGM penthouse anyone?).  A few days ago, I found cheap flights from SFO to LAS for weekend travel in November.  Since both SFO and LAS have Centurion Lounges, why not have 2 meetups in 2 Centurion Lounges on the same day?  Without further ado, here is the first meetup.

SFO Centurion Lounge Meetup:

  • Date: Saturday, November 7
  • Time: 12-3pm
  • Location: Centurion Lounge (Terminal 3, near Gate 74)

American Express Changes: 250 Membership Reward Points = 200 British Airways / Iberia Avios and Plenti Transfers

Posted on by . 49 Replies

Good evening everyone, I was just looking through my recent American Express Platinum Charge Card statement when I saw major changes to the Membership Reward Program.  Effective October 1, the transfer rate to British Airways and Iberia will change from 1,000 Membership Reward Points = 1,000 British Airways / Iberia Avios to 250 Membership Reward Points = 200 British Airways / Iberia Avios.  This is terrible news since British Airways is arguably one of the best transfer partners for Membership Reward Points.
