I have both and they seem worth, especially once travel picks up again. Amex has been doing well providing credits to help offset the AF (ie: PayPal, previous phone bill, etc.) If you have a corporate AMEX, the $150 corporate advantage statement credit makes it a no brainer. Even without the corporate credit, a 125k MR offer is worth to get then you can always downgrade or product change in the future if you feel it's not worth it.
I wouldn't keep both going indefinitely, but I keep CSR as my "always" card & would totally get the Amex, meet the bonus threshold, and then cancel
OP, there are some referral offers out there right now with 100K MR +$200 home improvement credits +10x MR pts on grocery stores and gas. Personally, I'd take this offer over 125K MR. To answer your question, to me, I don't see / get value out of holding the Platinum card past the first year unless you can nab a retention offer. The credits the card offers general are much harder to use than CSR credits / offers.
I'd jump on it then! Especially since there are rumors coming out today that Amex may be increasing the annual fee to $695/795 in July.
Churn the 125k bonus, don’t need to hold both long term
It's OK, I got the context here. I don't open or close cards that frequently, so I could never be accused of churning through cards.
I have both. Amex platinum credits+retention offer+amex offers more than offset the $400 yearly fee since I get the corporate advantage discount. Love my amex plat, but use my CSR 😀
Yeah I don't have a corp amex anymore, so I'd be paying the full $550.
I had both, but when it came time to renew this year, and only wanted to keep one, I went with plat.
Have both. Holding on to CSR until it raises the fee back to $550 without new benefits.
