The only feature I truly value is PP lounge access. Is it worth $699? Probably not. What are my alternatives?
Buy a Priority Pass “Prestige” annual membership for $429US if that’s the only perk that’s important for you, then pair it with a no-annual fee cash-back Visa or MasterCard of your choice. Priority Pass — indeed the whole Airline lounge benefit — it a really nice benefit, but I can’t imagine I’d have the Amex Platinum if that’s the only thing I wanted from it.
