I may be wrong, but I thought the Citi Plat also gives you priority pass lounge access.
Yes, the Citi Platinum Amex also has Priority Pass access. The difference is that the Citi card only includes 3 free visits, while the Ameriprise card gives unlimited free visits. If I used the lounge privilege less than 9 times a year, it would be cheaper to drop the Ameriprise card and just pay an extra $27 for each visit beyond the third.
