You aren’t using it correctly then![/quote]

Agree. If your Amex Platinum doesn’t more than pay for itself, you’re using it wrong. [/quote]

I'm the PP who wrote about the Platinum.  The question here is whether I found the expensive product "worth it."  I don't.

As I explained before, yes there is absolutely a way to recoup the annual membership fee.  But doing so forces me to spend on things I may not other spend that money on and requires an amount of time and effort to track and earn.  (For example, I don't just "get" a credit for bags an extras on an airline, I have to choose an airline to get the credit on the site, and then only get it on that airline.)  And the lounge access, which was one of the main draws for me, has continually gone down hill both in terms of actual accessibility and how crowded and unrelaxing it is to be there if I do get in.  May as well spend less time in the airport overall, or find an airport bar.

That is not "worth it" to me.  I'm not using it "wrong" it just isn't worth it to me to use it "right." I'd rather get a high value points card.  To each their own....[/quote]
