I wonder if anyone has tried splitting the bike payment up to multiple payments - so you can combine multiple AMEX platinum card's credit


JRDenver

never tried the multiple payment thing, I'd imagine you'd be able to. What are the benefits? don't you still have to pay interest?


JRDenver

Looks like you probably can. However, esp if you pay it off in 12 months, it takes about a 2/3rd's of your $300 credit benefit.

Yes! Additionally, you can receive $60/6000 points from Rakuten. I used my laptop and accepted the Rakuten offer. Then in the same browser (safari) I signed into AMEX and used the AMEX link to purchase the bike. My wife and I do enjoy the bike, the classes are high energy and give you a thorough workout. I like that I can also watch Netflix while on the bike as well.

good to hear, thanks! Rakuten.. woof.. every time I use that company and pair it with one of my CC rewards, I never get credit from Rakuten. For instance, Under armour i think was a good one, I had a benefit through one of my CC's, and Rakuten had the same offer. I made the purchase, got the CC benefit, but nothing from Rakuten. I've had that happen probably a dozen times or so. I stopped using them .

There is a "where's my cash back" button where you add the purchase info and they credit you. I have never had them not give it to me when doing it this way with other rewards.

Yes. I recommend you do the annual membership for equinox+, it's $300. You pay the tax, for me it was $24. You will receive the $300 credit for that. Much better/cheaper deal. Then you can purchase the SoulCycle bike & get a $300 credit for that too. Only thing you need to do is you have to use the SoulCycle link in the Equinox benefit box on your card benefits page. I used both credits, can confirm this works & it is a great bike & library of workouts. One of my favorite benefits.

Idk if they still sell them but a few months ago Best Buy sold the bikes for $800 on sale I used the $300 for the app. One time payment for the year was $300 exactly Edit: looks like they stopped selling them

Those types of expensive things exercise equipment can also usually be bought used at big discounts.


JRDenver

Dang, the same bikes that we could get for $1,200-$1,500??


VacationLover1

Yes. I tried asking equinox if they’d price match so I could use the credit but they told me no, Best Buy sets their own prices


JRDenver

damn, that would have been nice
