The MS Platinum is already the best option for many because of the free AU. If MS potentially raises the engagement bonus to match the new annual fee, and keeps the Cash Plus monthly fee at reasonable level, it may be an even stronger option, and that's why I'm converting to Pathways and keeping Cash Plus.
To clarify as you alluded to it in other places. But you meant that the AI account was only needed to open the cash plus account. As from current data points you only needed a cashplus account to keep the amex plat and engagement bonus, or did i misinterpret and you need a MS brokerage to keep the amex plat as well.
but if the pathways is open to other people I might open one for P2 and start the cash plus and amex plat process.
