But maybe there are plenty of Plat holders who put a lot of spend on their card regardless of the 1x earning.
I put almost zero spend on my Plat, except for Amex Sync offers. There's just no reason to do so. That said, I'm keeping my Plat, even after getting a CSR, because of the Centurion lounge access
