Experience using Amex b1g1f tickets?

[erdoran]

If you use the Amex black card deal for b1g1f business/first class tickets, does it end up working out as a good deal, or is it only good for the overpriced tickets, so even at essentially half price you still pay more? Any experience/recommendations? If it matters, I'm interested in two business or first RT from either PHL or any NY city airport to Rome. Thanks!

Are you speaking about some of the Centurion (the black card) deals? Or something else?

 

If you truly have a black card, call your concierge and ask.

 

If you meant something else, you will have to find the price of two business/first tickets and compare what Amex offers to see if it is a "deal". Some of the 2/1 specials from all venues are NOT deals at all.

The couple of times that I looked into using this perk, I found the price of the one you had to buy about double what I could get elsewhere. Check the price at a couple of sites and compare to Amex.
