AMEX Platinum Card

Anonymous — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 20:46:02 GMT

I've got 4 accounts in good standing with American Express. 2 Charge and 2 Credit. On the personal charge card there's a link to upgrade to Platinum. At least once a week I get the itch to upgrade. Yet I don't hardly ever fly the AF is $450.00. Is it rational to upgrade? Is there a way around the AF? For those with this card do you feel it's worth the $$$?

not worth it if you don't travel. the gold gives you everything the plat. does except travel stuff.

and the color of the card.

The Plat card works very well for me because I charge at least 9K (10K to 13K total a month) a month in travel related charges. If you don't travel much, the Plat card probably won't suite you.

I use my Platinum card all the time to buy White Chocolate Mocha at the Starbucks.
