no way. unless you care about the airport lounges. the chase sapphire reserve is a better premium card and there's free cards like uber visa that gets 3x travel cash back.

the metal is cool though.

limited use but still 180

$200 uber credit + $200 airline credit + $100 global entry/precheck credit leaves you with $50 left to be ahead of the $550 fee

gold/platinum status on a bunch of hotel/car rental chains, centurion lounge, concierge, and/or fine hotels will get you there

and 5x points on hotels and flights.

I use CSR for most everyday shit though because it has better points (3x for restaurants, etc). amex platinum is more for the automatic benefits you get. also if you can cop dat 100,000 point bonus that's 180 as fuck

15 bucks a month of Uber credit (applies to Uber eats)

200 towards travel fees

Lounge and upgrade privileges.

And others.

Worth it if you travel a lot.

Totally worth it if you're a dumb boomer who hasn't saved enough for his retirement but wants to flash it around at Morton's where you just get fatter and only 1/2 the points you would get with another card!

grab for the 100k points then cancel before you pay the second year's fee. I got $300 off my annual fee when i called in to cancel because I put over 100k per year of spend on my amex spg cards
