Best credit card concierge?

Financial Chat

I hear good things about Amex Platinum but quality has obviously declined a lot in the last decade.

Any other decent offerings with good international representation?

HSBC Jade if you can afford it. If youā€™re talking about the UK market thereā€™s nothing else like that really. Not sure itā€™s worth all that either.

Yeah HSBC Jade is Ā£500,000. All interesting hadnā€™t heard many raves about Ten but starting to think my question should have been ā€œwhatā€™s the best affordable credit card concierge serviceā€ instead.

Not bothered what the card looks like but unfortunately Natwest Black is currently closed and has a Ā£100k requirement anyway.

Is the concierge service really worth it? I genuinely have zero experience as Iā€™ve never used one but I just imagine it to be someone on the other end of the phone buying tickets for things which you could do for less.

If you want to say ā€˜I will have my people do itā€™ then yes. Otherwiseā€¦

In 99% of instances theyā€™ll do a worse job than youā€™d do yourself for 5x the price.

But there are edge cases which make it worthwhile.

I havenā€™t ever had much luck with them.

With which? I basically only need them to secure some mid/high-end restaurant resis usually only available to locals.

Visa Signature.

IDK if Visa Infinite is better.

I wouldnā€™t dream of asking them to do anything for a loved one, anything that requires critical thinking, creativity, specialist knowledge or personalisation. But for something you can succinctly and precisely spec in a two line email but requires language skills or connections you donā€™t have should be fine.

Monzo Concierge: A Concept.

Obviously not being completely serious, however I do remember it being rumoured (never confirmed) in previous Plus discussion alongside LoungeKeys and the like. Maybe one day. :eyes:
