Think of it as about $9/hr for a considerably more comfortable flight.

You can definitely apply the $200 Amex Plat Travel credit towards this.

If you haven't booked yet, also keep an eye on the fact that Premium Economy is only about $150 more than Economy, per leg, if you connect through YVR.
How do I go about doing this? I've booked a YYZ-HKG reward flight in Y connecting through YVR. How do I use the $200 Amex Plat credit? Do I call PTS and ask them to make the change through Aeroplan for me somehow?
