- include annual RCC membership
- No forex fees
- free checked bags
- elite access
- FHR type hotel amenity

Economy Plus seating(?) - If they include this, then there will be a big rush for the card! However, if they include E+, there will also be a bunch of elites complaining about the dilution of benefits...

What do you mean by "elite status"? That would really make the difference (that and E+). Otherwise, with Amex Plat, I get Priority Pass (so don't need RCC), no forex fees, $200 credit (tends to make up for checked bags) and FHR. So they'd have to offer something substantially better to make me consider switching. (I did already hit my spend and get the 100k on Amex so I'm willing to listen to suggestions...)
