Simply going to Google and typing in "Amex Platinum Benefits" will lead you to this page(https://www217.americanexpress.com/c...do?pmccode=137) which when you click see all benefits will tell you the current benefits for the card.

. . . unlike many other "Platinum Card Benefits" that I do not seem to qualify for as someone without a "US Plat Card"

Ok, so Platinum Card arrived in the mail
I know there are a boatload of benefits.
What should I sign up for, do now?
(also does it give you tiered levels on any other hotel aside from starwood?)

I'd say depending on your needs... If you are interested in enrolling in rental car programs (Avis, Hertz, National), here is the link... National Emerald Club Executive, in my opinion, is a great program (free upgrades!) ^

I find the extended rental car insurance a nice benefit. Is primary insurance for a flat fee of about $25 for the entire rental period, up to a month. Don't have to file a claim with my regular car ins company if something happens to rental car.
