Yes, I was just referring to a temporary discount program Amex has been running for Platinum Card holders, where they are offering an additional discount off certain domestic premium cabin fares (further discounted to what is available directly through the airlines). It’s been pretty good because AA premium transcon fares have generally been available, they can be booked online via Amex Travel, and there are no booking fees that cut into the discount (at least for initial booking- not sure what happens if you have to make a change). The program is currently running for travel through May 31.
