sucks...but glad I got the PP card. Amex is going to lose a lot of plats, im sure many will downgrade to a amex gold without this benefit.

Press release here.
After Sept. 30, 2011, Amex cardholders won't be able to transfer membership rewards points to the OnePass program. Also, platinum/centurion Amex cardholders won't get complimentary access to the PC.

That's a shame. The AmEx partnership was a nice benefit, but has been generally made redundant with the PPlus card.
As long as AmEx retains its relationship with AC/NH etc., the blow is lessened in terms of using MR points for *A flights, though.

I have an International Dollar Amex... I wonder does this apply to all Amex cards or just US-issued cards?

So glad I bit the bullet several years ago and got Lifetime PC (and turned in my Amex Plat card).

I think the only *A carriers that accept membership rewards points are AC, NH, and SQ. I don't see US on the list.

Unless you are fanatical CO customer (or live in Houston), I think Amex plat is a much better deal (even without CO in the mix) than the Chase PP card.
Of course, losing CO is a huge blow, no question about it.
