On the other hand the guest access changes will require me to evaluate whether to get a AU card for my wife or pay-as-we-go, which adds to the overall cost.
But my main point really was: I would not hold the Plat card even if the coupon book credits roughly equaled the annual fee in value. If you think the CL situation you experienced will continue, you may not want to keep the card (I wouldn’t if 40 min waits become standard).
