Thinking about dropping Amex plat. Don’t see the value of this card at $700 AF.

Is venture x the move? I really liked my CSR, but sign up bonus is only $50K right now.

Primary spend on food, dining etc. Less travel these days since I’ve left consulting, but still looking for a premium credit card…

Options are

1) Keep Amex plat ($550AF with my corp amex)

2) downgrade amex plat to gold ($100AF); get venture x / csr if 100k bonus is back / some other travel card

Anything i’m missing?

I’d pay $5,000 a year to not interact with the stimulus check spirit flyers in the centurion airports. That’s enough for me alone.

More serious, call up for retention. Many are getting 50k MR no spend or 40k/3k offers

I called and got the same $550 offer for $4k in spending over 3 months

I’m going to call and cancel it. I’m a digital nomad now, so lots of travel expenses. I’ll keep CSR.

Go venture X

I'm looking at downgrading to Amex Gold. I already have CSR and think it's a far better travel card now than Plat. In your case after you've downgraded you should consider Chase Preferred.
