I have a Love/Hate relationship with the Platinum Card. On one hand – it offers unparalleled travel benefits & perks. On the other – you need to put some work in to offset the annual fee.
Great card for lounge access across the board. Especially if you fly Delta without status and/or don’t have the AMEX Delta Reserve card.
The Platinum Card currently works out for me + family as Delta is our preferred airline. But it definitely gets evaluated every year to see if it’s still a keeper or not.
The American Express Platinum® Card. Never fly without it.
