Are all 3 personal cards or is one a business card? Elite status?

I wife and I each have a Starwood business card that we'll plan on keeping, and we'll put all our bonused gas, restaurant, wireless, shipping charges on those.

I'm lifetime gold, but I am considering the new Amex luxury for Plat status through non-bonused spending. I travel for leisure only, so elite status is really only doable through spending but I not sure how "worth it" platinum over gold status is.

You may want to keep all three based on how valuable you think the 35,000 point free night award will be. Otherwise, the personal cards for silver or gold status aren't worth keeping IMO.
