Got an invitation to upgrade to amex platinum from my amex gold (personal card). The annual membership fee for the platinum is 450! I have a chase sapphire already. The upgrade is not worth it right?

Upgrade to chase reserve instead

Why would you upgrade and not get the signup bonus of a new card? Get a new platinum and product change the gold to everyday to keep the account history with no fee.

Worth it for delta lounge access and centurion, if you can access those

Especially considering the annual fee for the sapphire is super low compared to this

I love my plat

What level are you?

@D1... I am a consultant

Got 50k when I signed up for PRG, they offered 50k upgrade offer for Plat and I took it.

Love my Amex Platinum

LOL they have been offering me 70k points to open but have not pulled the trigger. Point is Amex Plat invites are not that selective as most people think. Also my Reserve kicks ass

Oh I misread this. I though this was for your corporate card
