Saks's WorldElite MC offeres almost everything that AMEX Platinum offers except for the Airport Launge access. I still keep my AMEX Platinum simplly because AMEX has better service. I even told the WorldElite guys once when they contacted me in a survey. I told them I would rather pay an anuual fee in order to receive better service. My wife likes the Saks giftcards, thats why we kept the WorldElite card.
