EY frequent travelers - now that Amex Platinum is being cut as a benefit, do I keep it and eat the cost or get a CSR for mostly the same benefits?

Nifty how they designed the airline lounge reimbursement so they're really only paying for it if you fly between 80-100k since you get it anyway via ExecPlat status.

Only problem is that they expect you to only use your Corp Amex for work expenses...so you won't get to rack up CSR points

It may be a moot point now that they've officially tightened up frequent traveler qualification

Personal situation, I'm an AA Platinum going to a city with a Centurion lounge currently. The Amex car rental benefits seem a bit better too. But the $300 CSR airline reimbursement would be nice. Lounge access is probably my fav benefit and Priority Pass is not great in AA terminals sadly.

Yea but I can still use the benefits for work travel.

OP: exactly, of you're flying international and using a business class lounge as it is

Whoops I was wrong - there's still a fee for AA lounges if you're ExecPlat
