First, let us know
1) How often do you travel now
2) If you travel for work, are you purchasing your trips with your own credit card, or using a company issued credit card
3) Do you want tot travel more, and if so, do you want to bring others with you
It seems like you value domestic lounges and breakfast at hotels. Hilton offers breakfast with gold status, and the Amex Platinum offers the broadest network of domestic lounges (particularly if you are flying Delta). Given that, the Amex Platinum may be for you - but only if you travel enough to take advantage of it. If your primary goal is to earn points to redeem for free travel, other combinations of cards may be better depending on your spending patterns.
