Easy to imagine. Plat also gives you Hilton Gold, SPG Gold, National Executive, boingo, and FHR program with $100 credit is more than the Chase Luxury hotel program.

Not sure what the big deal is with Chase Reserve other than the primary car rental and that one-time bonus.. The 3x travel spend one can get with Citi Premier.
