82k base salary, recent graduate moving to NYC in July. I travel moderately, 2 or 3 times a year for personal adventures but plan to boost that number a bit. I qualify for AMEX Platinum, but is Gold a better choice for my situation? I’ve heard mixed reviews about Platinum…

Gold is better for you. You don’t travel nearly enough to justify the $700 yearly fee

I had platinum as a college student. If you travel it’s worth it

I felt like I was lowballed during my offer, and my negotiation salary was denied since this is technically my first “professional” job. Pt 2 in comments:
