I suppose that your point is that the Plat is 90% of the Cent, so why not just use that? It's a good suggestion. Still wish that they would let you get a plain "green" one as the stealth Cent card...
Actually, I believe that you DO get the benefits of the Cent card when you use your gold, platinum , or other Amex charge/credit account--whether or not they're attached to your Cent account. I made a claim with Amex several years ago, and I recall that even though the purchase was not made on my Cent account, they extended the Cent benefits for purchase protection. The benefits may have changed, but I'd double check.
