I rarely used this, but I do hate to see all the features going away for the Platinum card. I hope they have plans to add some enhancements to it in the future. We've lost Marriott lounge access, PP restaurant, Boingo, and now the gift card credit workaround in the last year or so. I understand that some of those things were not advertised features, but it still gives the card less value, and the annual fee certainly is not going to decrease as a result.
