For me the $300 for the plat upgrade for Corp card is worth it. Home airport (SFO) has an Amex lounge - so use that a couple times a month, plus points collections (true not 5x, but better than nothing). Fee paid for itself with meals and booze at the lounge - not to mention with a return flight to Hong Kong this year on points.

I thought AMEX Plat is $550/year. Personal card anyways

Personal is $550/year and AU cost more

Corporate card isn’t worth it because the rewards aren’t as good. You don’t get 5x rewards

Also no concierge, since you can't use for personal expenses

I have the personal card and think the benefits I’m getting out of it outweigh the steep annual fee

I have the Personal and previously had the small business; both of those are worth fees; corporate card isn't

Ok thank you

I'm new to this. I have a Chase Sapphire Preferred for personal use. My company has given me a Green Corporate AMEX. What cards can I apply for to earn points and get lounge access? I can only use the Green Corporate Card for work related travel.

Op, I’m curious what your eqd’s and eqms were for CK.
