4. ML+ is great if you spend $50k to get the free AA/DL status. If you do this, why do you need AMEX Platinum?
5. Why do you need AMEX Blue? I might switch this to another AMEX card and collect the initial bonus, e.g. AMEX SPG, AMEX Hilton, AMEX DL or the Knot/the Nest (both of which have a 10,000 point bonus for spending level)

I mis-stated the $50k Merrill+ benefit. Its a DL or AA club membership. If you had that, why would you want AMEX Platinum?
