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.
I'd start with the Gold Charge card, for now. Use it for a year (free), and next year call them and tell them you'll be cancelling the card because the fee is too high for you. If you spent a good amount during that year, they'll waive the fee (Pesos $2400 ish). And once they do that ask them about the platinum card. I can't guarantee all this, but usually they'll discount those $2400 they just saved you on the platinum's fee and maybe its more accesible ($2600 ish left). If you travel often, those $2600 will be saved by using the benefits you have with them.
Anyways, you'd have a free year to decide
