I'm downgrading my Amex Plat to a cheaper/free card. What are your recommendations to replace the Platinum for lounge access and streaming perks please?

Sapphire reserve, same perks and much better points earning

Not sure about the streaming part, but Venture X is my personal favorite for the cap one lounges. Sapphire Reserve is only worth it if you frequent Sapphire lounges, which are pretty nice.

May I ask what airport you fly out of, where you connect the most through, or where you fly to the most?

There is a chase Sapphire lounge at JFK. C1 doesn’t have a lounge with those airports. Both cards give you priority pass to get access to other lounges.
