Are they really going to try to convince people that this is still a $695 card? This will have to cost Amex a small fortune in revenue and I can't imagine what they feel they will replace this benefit with.
The Amex Platinum is basically a free card for some, and includes unlimited Centurion Card access for the cardholder. 10 SkyClub visits per Amex Platinum cardholder is perfectly reasonable given all the stuff they have added to the card.
