I am not an expert, but my view is

AE Platinum is good only for Maxim spending (getting one person free), Broadway Cinema (buy one get one free) and extended warranty (which you can get with other AMEX issued card as well).

The earning rate is $7.5/miles.
Comparing to DBS black, DBS Black earning rate is $6/miles local and $4/miles for overseas spendings.

Actually DBS Black has a decent earning rate (actually the best in HK for non-category/brand specific general spendings), perhaps you should use it more.

Going back to your question, it depends if you often visit Maxim and Cinema to cover the annual fee. In any event, it is not a good card for you as the principle spending card in light of your DBS black.
