So i decided against the Plat...maybe after I have the PRG for awhile, ill upgrade to the Plat..who knows
the plat is not a card you use for everyday spending; you sign up and spend for the incredible 100k bonus (and $200 airline credit + global entry credit) + services like FHR, maybe international use, and that's it.

i actually lucked out unexpectedly. i got the business gold card (with 3x airfare, 2x gas) with a 75k bonus a couple months ago, and that needed 10k over 4 months. 3x airfare/2x gas isn't bad, but in conjunction with chase ink it's great! now with amex personal plat, add 100k miles + extra little perks like lounge access (good for irrops) and credits, it's lookin real good!
