If you're a dining out person, I'd suggest Citi's Citigold cards. They have lots of discounts and benefits in great restaurants, miles with AAdvantage and priority pass/etc.
But yes, as Gaucho1000k said, you can easily dodge amex yearly fees.
Thanks for you answer.
I guess I'll go back to Amex once home -already got my ticket for August, booked it with Avios before BAEC's new "enhancement" comes into force-. I actually like the fact that you can choose to transfer your miles to airlines in all three big alliances instead of being forced to stay in only one. Useful in Argentina, where you're stuck with Skyteam for domestic travel but usually Oneworld offers the best ways to elope from the country.
I looked at the Platinum Card. Sounds nice and fancy, but 5,100 pesos per annum is a bit too much for my budget.
