American Express Platinum Card

[Grissom]

The Platinum was a good card, when they first came out......and I racked up close to 1,000,000 Continental OnePass miles with it, so that part was very good! The concierge services were good, at the beginning, as well.....my kids could actually call an 800 umber, and AMEX would connect them to where ever I was.....that was nice, too! Finally, I had my own dedicated AMEX rep.....

As things degraded, I decided to cancel the card, and as I was spending lots of time in Latin America, I went with Diners, which was (and might still be) the best overall card in Latin America.....

For here, I simply use a visa or mastercard, when I do use a card at all.

Would not pay the $$ for a Centurion Card.........simply don't see the value, for me....although if someone else paid, well, then, I suppose.......
