Called back and talked to another CSR and was told the same thing. I guess I'll find out after the $3000 spend if what the CSRs told me is correct.
After a long call with Amex, a CSR told me I may as well keep the Platinum because I'm getting 100,000 on that one. I took her advice and closed the PRG. We'll see what happens when spend has been met, but I fear it could be a time-consuming effort to get those points.
