I got the Amex platinum and looking back would have gotten the Sapphire Reserve instead. As others have said, centurion lounges are hit or miss and with everyone and their dog having a platinum these days they are almost always slammed. 10 times out of 10 I’d rather be in a United lounge than a centurion.

Also the Sapphire reserves 3x on dining in addition to travel is huge, especially as someone who enjoys dining out with friends on a semi-regular basis.

Ultimately your mileage may vary, but the platinums perks don’t seem to live up to its reputation sadly.

Are you talking about the sapphire reserved and not preferred?

Platinum all day every day!

Plat then downgrade after a year to gold. Then CSR

I used both. Also signed up for Capital One X

If you are fly out of an airport with a Centurion Lounge or a Delta SkyClub the Amex would be my choice. Also 150K is a great sign-up bonus and the Membership Rewards points are better than Chase.

I agree. It seems whenever I am looking to use points and compare the two, I struggle to hit 1cpp whereas chase is guaranteed 1.5cpp. I haven’t compared apples to apples on each travel portal’s prices, but both are usually more expensive than cash as is. I’ve heard MR are best international but haven’t looking into that yet.

Yooooo just a APB - there is an analyst on this thread running some scheme trying to “partner” and get money and share money etc. be aware if you have been contacted.
