Thanks!
Acted on PRG - just found it hard for myself to justify $450 in AF as I already have Global Entry (so can't save $100 on this) and I mostly fly other airlines in Europe, so will probably not be able to use lounges with Platinum that often.

Nonetheless, instant approval for PRG and free 50000 MR points. If it didn't have such an outrageous foreign transaction fee of 2.7%, I would have probably spent $30k in a year easily, but such a huge FTF changes the whole economics if charged in foreign currency making it not worthwhile :-(

Anyway, many thanks to those who mentioned this trick with creditcards.com...
