10k a month in personal expenses? Baller.

And if you mean the corporate card, the rewards structure isn't that much more beneficial since all your travel is booked through Concur.

Agree with P1. No additional benefit except access to Amex Clubs at the handful of airports that have them

U can’t get the intro offer with 75k points after 20k purchases? or the dell or the airline or the saks credit?

Nope

Or Marriott gold status?

Maybe. But you should be higher than that anyway with the amount of travel you're about to do

Or points in general?

Yes. You get to earn points on spend. Depends on how your firm negotiates the corp platinum package

like

Not with Corp card. Sorry

Amex Business Platinum card is not the same thing as the Amex Platinum.

then what's the point of the upgrade if your travel expenses are not giving you 3-4x on your travel spend? just the lounge access?...

During the beginning of covid I drank every day and in a great deal. January it was a "dry" month which was hard the first week but overall great.
