I live in SF and am considering the Amex Platinum card for the Centurian lounge. I’m targeted for the 100k sign on bonus but I already have the CSP card wonder if both would be excessive. Thoughts?

The Plat has a $550 fee which is offset by a number of rebates and kickbacks but it also seems like it could be a lot of work juggling two types of points (almost like owning a Mac and a PC). Want to hear other ppls thoughts

I carry both, definitely consider it worth it at the end of the day. As long as you’re traveling a decent amount you can definitely make it worth it.

I have both too. Only thing that bugs me is the Platinum somehow doesn’t have travel insurance included despite giving 5x on flights

Thanks for the input guys I travel a lot so the lounge access seems like it’d be worth it.

Have I been ghosted or is there still hope? Does anyone at Visa have insights? Looks like there are a ton of jobs posted so maybe they are just backed up?
