Has the Green Amex now completely disappeared in the UK. With the increase in anual fee from £90 to £125 and devaluation of the insurance benefits I'm not sure if it's worth it any more.

That said I do like membership rewards (although it's a pain that they have removed CO as a partner for transfers) and also I find their customer service top notch so I'd like to retain a card with them.

The way I see it I have 3 options

1) Change the card to a Green card with membership rewards (if such a thing exists) in return for less benefits but a lower fee

2) Keep with the Gold card despite the 30% increase in fee and reduced benefits

3) Upgrade the card to a Plat. Would I still get the 40k bonus points if I did this or would it count as an 'upgrade' so nothing? The UK plat fee seems to still be £300 so now gold has gone up you get quite a bit more for the extra money. That said I have *G at the moment so the lounge access is not super important to me (but the free Gold Cathay would be interesting as it would get me lounge access on BA)

Whaddya all recon?
