I know everyone here are CSR obsessed but anyone have the Amex Platinum? Just got a sign up offer; how does it compare now that CSR cut from 100,000 points?

Amex Platinum is great to "have" but not to spend on, other than personal flights (5x pts) and concierge/FHR. Don't take the signup offer unless it's 100k pts because Amex is once per lifetime per card.

I have it. Love the concierge and the centurion lounge access. Don't really spend on it though.

I got it for 100k signup. Going to cancel before I get charged the fee again. Not worth the $450 IMO

Sign up bonus is great and it would be worth it if you would use lounge access (centurion, skyclub when flying delta, priority pass) and book lots of flights. Could be a good churn and burn otherwise

Watch out for clawback. Might be worth it to pay the fee, get the travel credit if you haven't already, THEN cancel for the prorated amount back. YMMV. For me there's at least one exclusive ticket deal per year via concierge that saves me a ton of money (such as Hamilton this year) and only Platinum and Centurion have this I believe. I was originally going to get rid of it but changed my mind. I WILL drop my corporate platinum back down to green though, and pay for points, because I'm not seeing the utility in platinum for that considering it's still 1x MR on everything.
