I view the Amex Plat card as a coupon book. If you have the time to make sure you maximize the all the rebates it's a decent option. The lounge access and points are basically a bonus. Unfortunately with UA's recent reduction in releasing I space, it's not much use for flying on UA. However I've had pretty good value using points on other partners.
