I'll still use my regular Amex Platinum for seat change reimbursement but an extra seat both ways will cover the extra fee imposed. And the chance of receiving medallion points for annual spend is a benefit I'm interested in.

However, I'm still on the fence about upgrading, as I've read so many articles about Delta/Amex refreshing these cards that maybe there may be a better incentive in the very near future for current cardholders.
