I think it's a great addition - basically a $400-500 value yearly... the main question is -- does IKK still apply?

It seems AMEX has probably just agreed to provide AP with the 15,000 miles extra yearly. Certainly helps to address the high fee!

After 10 years I just canceled my AMEX Platinum / Aero Amex Plat, too.

I love AMEX but over the years the benefits were being cut.

Received the new INFINITY card yesterday from CIBC and for a quarter of the price, I get the same goodies.

I will go back to AMEX Plat when they start making the card special again.

As my bank manager said...10 years ago it was special to have a Plat AMEX but these days...look around, everyone has one.

C'mon AMEX -- pull some new benefits out. Now I solely use my CIBC Infinity card...
