[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I also find many places not accepting it anymore, so I also have a visa with a low fee.

I still like the plat, because all the perks generally outweigh the annual fee. For example LY I got:
-$200 travel credit
-$200 fine hotel credit
-$200 dining credit

I didn't end up using a few of the others, but just there is $600 in "Free" that offsets the fee by a lot. Also do a lot of travelling and the lounge access is invaluable! Especially long haul international flights, so amazing to be able to grab a shower and some food or have a real place to rest. [/quote]

Where did you get lounge access with a shower? That's pretty rare for the Priority Pass lounges most Plat holders will use. Usually it's only the premium airline lounges for international business class tickets that have those.[/quote]
It was Changi. Had an 8h layover and used 2 different lounges, at least one had a shower. I didnt look for the second lounge. [/quote]

That's fantastic, and yeah definitely on brand for the Singapore airport.  I don't think any PP lounge in the US has showers, and most don't have much in the way of good food either if we are being real.  Thankfully the Turkish lounge at IAD is one of the exceptions to that.[/quote]

All the Amex centurion lounges have showers and there are a good number of those in the continental U.S. DCA is getting one fairly soon. That’s a distinct platinum benefit from the PP lounge access.[/quote]
